I liked this book better when it was a giant no-reason-to-battle battle.  Now, after waiting two months for the continuation of what was already a too-long series (I really feel like they could have done this in 8, if not less... but 12?), things are seeming to calm down as we enter Act Two.  The whole LMD/Holocaust wasn't quite off-putting enough to chase me away from this book, but it's dangerously close.  For now, I'm falling back on that it's kind of nice that they're giving Human Torch a central role, so I'm willing to see how they play this next.  Oh, and it also helps that Spider-Man was kind of funny.
