I would like to talk about Eldrac, the living Inhuman gateway with the plot-convenient power to teleport those who enter him wherever they need<\/em> to be.\u00a0 So you think okay, sure, a living door, that\u2019s fun.\u00a0 But in the previous\u00a0issue it took Lineage \u2013 this new sneaky, schemey Inhuman who\u2019s been all hangin\u2019 around the Attilan throne room in a black suit and grinning all the time, clearly just an incredibly trustworthy kinda guy \u2013 to have a chat with Eldrac, pointing out that while everyone else gets fantastic powers, he gets turned into architecture?<\/em>\u00a0 Which is a fair point \u2014 nobody thinks about poor Eldrac\u2019s feelings! \u00a0So in exchange for Eldrac teleporting Medusa and company to precisely where they aren\u2019t<\/em> supposed to be, giving Lineage the opening to enact his coup, he rewards Eldrac with his own giant mechano-body<\/a> awwwww! \u00a0Look how happy he is<\/a>, presumably!<\/p>\n

The following annual continues the story of the\u00a0temptation and ultimate redemption of Eldrac. \u00a0While Medusa and her allies fight for their lives and Lineage continues his mischief, we find Eldrac in a quiet moment of contemplation<\/a>. \u00a0At last he comes to a momentous decision: he activates his portal, reaches\u00a0through\u00a0his own maw all the way to Eastern Europe, \u00a0plucks an unsuspecting Medusa, Triton, and Frank McGee into his giant robo-hands<\/a>, pulls them\u00a0back out of danger, and before a disoriented Medusa can\u00a0demand to know what the royal @#$% is happening, he immediately hurls them all back<\/em> through his own face<\/a> to return them safely to\u00a0New Attilan, and as penance for his betrayal, pulls\u00a0his own head from his mechano-body<\/em> and presumably dies on the Long Island shore<\/a>, if an Inhuman gateway can even be said to be \u201calive\u201d in the first<\/em> place! \u00a0I do not know whether or not it\u00a0is a compliment to Charles Soule\u2019s writing that the character who I found most engaging never said a word of dialogue, but there it is. \u00a0Misguided, noble Eldrac, your sacrifice was not in vain, and you will be missed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
