Issue 12 wraps up this series, if not the character, which will supposedly continue to appear in Secret Wars 2099.
The ending was rather hastily executed, something not surprising, considering how many editorial intervention has been taking place since the Spider-Verse event. I'm not talking about the pace of the story, as much as I'm talking of the many loose ends, not approached in this comic.

Issue 10 turns out to be quite predictable. The old let-them-scape-so-we-can-follow routine, with a couple of minor tweaks. Still, seeing The Maestro loose on earth 616 promises to be lots of fun. The whole scenery felt like little more than that. We get The Maestro, his advisor, some goons and concubines… that's it, pretty barebones. A slight step back, to a more common 4.9/10. As usual, Sliney's art is a minus. I haven't been following the title for some time, but now, in Old Man Logan, of all places, the Maestro rears up it's ugly head. It turns out the world from #9 and 10, wasn't the original Dystopia, but some new Earth-TRN589, which apparently replaces... the original 2099 timeline. Ugh! This is the very reason why I stopped reading this comic, that and the artist. They just keep changing timelines and you never know what the hell is going on or why. In any case, even though the wiki page for this comic, list him as a "new" Maestro, I get the impression it's the same one from the quoted text. Everything is so convoluted at this point, that even the guys trying to keep up the facts straight, at marvel.wikia, probably missed this one. Or did I miss something? Was the story from above continued at some point?

Hey Ozy, I know it's been a while but I've only just found my password anyhow, as far as the mask thing is concerned. The answer is rather simple really, TOYS!

Well, I'm not sure if I want to ask, as to what exactly was going on, in your mind But what about the Maestro? Another one of the many sub-plots, PAD has forgotten about, or did he move on, with this particular one?

I'm assuming he's saving it for a future story arc? That's my current guess LOL. As for what I was thinking with the earlier post, I...I don't know
