Wow first off im surprised at some of the reviews i looked over that went as far to rate the story on this particular issue a 1 or a 2 .
Now this may be your actual personal opinion and everyone is entitled to it but i just feel i had a different view on this particular issue compared to alot of the other people that have been bashing this event and possibly jumping on the bandwagon along with everyone else and may have been rating this based on the event as a whole.
Now before i get into what i thought i just wanted to make it clear im not saying this has been a great event, im not even saying it has been a very good one OVERALL but individually this particular issue in my opinion has been the best one so far.
It was quite enjoyable from the action scenes in it where Thor collapsed from exhaustion after beating the Thing and almost killing him off to where the Hulk got shot off into space after being called a pain in the ass and setting up the possible start of the storyline as to where Bruce Banner gets seperated from the Hulk in the new Jason Aaron run.
Cap gets his shield destroyed and comes to the realization that this battle probably isnt going to be won and Iron man asks to make weapons in Odins Asgardian workshop in order to defeat the bad guys. All these scenes that happened in this issue were intresting to me and helped me forget as to why these people were here and what had lead up to this point just that in this moment we were experiancing some good scenes along with fantastic art.
With all that said the thing that dissapointed me the most in this issue and at the same time almost made me take back all the postive comments ive just made about this issue so far was the Spiderman scene. What the hell was Matt Fraction thinking?? Although Peter Parker is a fictionial character i feel that we all know him well enough to know he would never do what he did. He is one of the most unselfish superheros with the biggest hearts ever and although he also cares a great deal about his family and friends in his life he would never leave his teamates high and dry like he did. First they made it seem like he was talking about everyone when he mentions " none of us have heard anything from our familys" to Captain America as if he had discussed this with the team or something then the next thing you know hes webbing off like a douche bag without saying goodbye lol. I mean this legitmately pissed me off somehow to the point i was looking for answers as to why this happened.
I came to the conclusion that although i felt this wasnt the smartest move it at least got me feeling something about this particular issue and got me talking and thinking.
Then i thought that Fraction took all this into account and wanted to make you feel actually how scary of an event this was for the heros of the Marvel Universe for once and that it had gotten so bad that it made Spidey of all people actually want to give up. If this is what he was trying to accomplish then good job on his part after all.
Overall although this one issue doesnt make up for the whole event and isnt my POTW or anything i figure im going to stick with it the whole way through at this point and if anything at least i can say i enjoyed a few moments in this instead of hating the whole thing. This concludes the end of my rant and first review lol
