Notice the flashback only elaborates on what he wrote in the first issue and then the resolution is basically "just throw a bomb at it" the way they've been doing since issue #2, to no avail.
He should've been writing this by himself, or better yet, pass it onto the writers and have a single team deal with it. Notice how Shadow King was gone after issue #2? How the mutant psychics added nothing to the plot? How, if this was meant to be a mystical threat from the start, had Hordeculture supposedly helping into what was basically nothing, beyond Beast learning to open a portal with their tech?
There was nothing in this miniseries at all that warranted this many issues.
