It's weird that that's even an option! About a week or so ago, I got the new Marvel Legends Hyperion/Doctor Spectrum two-pack (I wanna say from GameStop, but I couldn't find it on their site just now) and it seemed like a quicker-than-usual turnaround from when that was announced to when I got it.
Then, they've since announced
Nighthawk and Blur, and this kind of push on the Squadron Supreme almost makes me suspect some kind of announcement is forthcoming: like Hasbro wants to knock through the comic versions now, so they can push the MCU/live-action versions later...
But, we saw the previous issue
some time back, and re-reading that maybe I have more issues of this series than these two? Although, brutal honesty time: there's a very good chance the next comic shop you hit, you can probably find cheap copies of the earlier issues of this series. Orders were probably cut back by these two, they'll be more trouble to run down. Or you could get the trade..."
Daddy Issues"? Bad Marvel! Bad! From 2016,
Hyperion #6, written by Chuck Wendig, art by Nik Virella and Marc Laming, color art by Romulo Fajardo Jr.
Wendig writes a very smarmy, full-of-himself Iron Man, here this issue to bring in Hyperion for the death of Namor: in the MCU tradition, Tony has his faceplate open most of the issue as well. I'm not convinced Tony gave a rat's ass for Namor, although he tries to spin it like he had lost a friend: stopping Hyperion may have just been a science project, since he was able to use "sterile neutrinos" like Kryptonite to contain him. That works really well, until Hype's girl Thundra clocks a big honking mace into Tony's chest. Hyperion has bigger fish to fry, though, as the creepy Junior was coming back, with an army, to get the girl called "Doll." It mildly irked him that Junior was somehow still alive, apparently with the ability to reconstitute himself if even one molecule was left; which I thought was an Eternal trick. Hyperion convinces Tony to take Doll and her dog to safety, and has Thundra watch the perimeter to make sure no bad guys get out. Then, after a brief confrontation and bit of moralizing, Hyperion pretty much nukes the bad guys from orbit: although he might look like it and have to live like it, he wasn't human. Killing those guys meant nothing to him, and he tosses Junior to freeze in space for ever.
Tony gets Doll and her dog, now named 'Marc' after Hyperion, set up with a new life. Hyperion continues his trucker life, with Thundra by his side...although, I am not sure where this Hyperion is in continuity now, since there was a bunch of stuff with the Squadron Supreme replacing the Avengers in the timeline. Some of that was kind of good, although I'm fuzzy on how it ended.

Legit good question. I’m still not sure why they killed off Namor only to bring him back fairly soon. Does that mean that version of the Squadron hunt him down all over again & kill him or are they satisfied with the first attempt but slight pissed it didn’t stick?
Yeah I was about ask you if you’d seen that new squadron two-pack. That’s gotta mean more are coming soon as well right? The recentness of the releases of said 2-packs sure is interesting if not confusing and very much not like Hasbro.
You also getting that WCA 5-pack as well?
