Possible spoilers:
I'm with you eddE. Another budding storyline built up very well to a very MEH ending. Not sure why this happens with pretty much every major storyline in Marvel, but it gets me every time. At least the journey is better than the destination I guess. But still, I told myself after World War Hulk that I wasn't going to follow a storyline month-to-month anymore. And that I was going to wait until it was over to read them so it wouldn't be such a let down, but I couldn't.
There was way too much going on, or not going on rather, in the last issue. You're dead on ... Thor & Wasp !? What the hell happened?! Why the hell didn't Thor do that ... to every Skrull in the beginning? Why did it take that for the Earth Hero/Villains to get "pissed"? That was a reaaaaaaal corny ending even by their standards in Norman offing Jessi-skrull.
The issue should have been double-sized so it could have given it the room it needed to explain the crap ending they had. Unless they realized it was crap and tried to throw as much visuals in there to try and appease one half the brain at least. The Wasp thing was literally like 2 small panels and gave the reader a lot of assumptions to figure out what happened ... despite gruesomely killing a lot of people leading up to this.
Oh and the last page? Yes, somewhat saving grace. However, that group has been over a year in the making. Well, I should say the grouping that makes sense (Doom, Loki & Namor - from the Namor Limited Run late 07/early 08; and the early Thors).
Seriously? Emma Frost and Norman Osbourne? They are so not on their level it's disgusting to think D/L/N would ever stoop so low. The Hood is kind of strange as he is obviously possessed but has the inane ability to keep it under wraps. So perhaps from that level he may quasi belong, but he still really hasn't done anything to merit kicking it with Doom and Loki.
Good things:
- Deadpool is back.
- Doom is back.
- Namor is back.
- Tony Stark looks to be going underground and will redeem himself in most readers eyes from the past few years ... which will probably have that storyline ending for the Iron Man 2 Movie.Bad things:
- Spider-Man's Brand New Day is still happening, haha.
- "Lasting Effects." Oh ... seriously. Are people actually going to be mad at the heroes/ villains who were abducted? I mean ... no. It's not Jessica Drew's fault, she shouldn't be held accountable at all.I'm probably going to be cutting back even more after this. I'll keep tabs on Doom of course, but ... who am I kidding, I'll be hook line and sinkered for the next storyline next year.
P.S. I wrote a longer schpel but somehow it didn't post.
