    like this series. last issue,however, kinda felt like a filler. hope the finale really blows the doors off this muh-fucka

    • I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way. I’ve kept buying it in the hope I’d finally see what makes everybody else love it so much.

    • If you are looking for a traditional super hero comic, you shouldn’t bother with this book.

      i hope i wasnt misunderstood. i like this series. issue 4 left me feeling empty.

    • I don’t dislike it either. It’s just ok and not much else to me. I must be missing something else. And its not because I want a superhero book (I love reading well written book with a basis in reality) and its not because I don’t understand it (I have a degree in history and have read a lot about the rise of the nazis), its just that I found the motivation and characterisation of the main protagonists to be a little flat.

    great series! I just hope there is a follow up series because the lead characters transformation isn’t totally complete.

  5. sitara119 sitara119 says:

    wow. pow. marvel needs more books like this. i’d like to see a dr. doom book during his early years as a new ruler dealing rebellions and usurpers to his throne. to see his viciousness come to fruition would be beautiful. just a thought….

    This was an issue-by-issue guide to the growing pains of evil. Issue 5 capped it all off in just the right way.

    PotW

    I got to hand it to Marvel, Greg, Mirko, and the editors. It’s bold and brave to put something like this out in our little world full of superheroes.

    Absolutely fantastic LS…Moody, and although the ending was predictable (no spoiler here!) it was still effective and moving…Great study of what could make a person the most evil man in the world…
