So this started off kind of cheesy, kind of men-in-tights superhero stuff and then got kind of heavy. Since it was an "alternate" reality it allowed the writers to be really brutal and kill off a bunch of characters who had been around for decades. I imagine that this kind of break from normal restrictions must be a lot of fun for the writers.

This was the best House of M story in my opinion. The recipe is a bit strange though: take a bunch of Z-list villains and a strong emotional core, and voila, you have a surprisingly good story full of redeeming characters.
I must say, Masters of Evil really stood out to me. You almost feel bad for the characters by the end, especially in the way they die at the hands of the regime. It's the way they're treated - mostly as believable humans - that really hits home.
Absolutely pleasantly surprised.

I always enjoy these stories that let you get to see a different side of the villain. Albeit a rocky start, this one got pretty serious by the end. It adds a lot to the House of M storyline, too, in my opinion.
