We all know that Batman likes to disappear while people are talking to him, especially if they are (former) police commissioner James Gordon. What does this all mean for Marvel’s Merry Mutants? Does this mean that Fisk gets access to Krakoan resurrection? Hard to say, when this whole thing is a last-page reveal, but we’ll probably find out in the next issue.
