This book started off with a simple concept, "What if Marvel came to the Real World?" The first few issues left me a little cold. I knew the basic concept of the Mini and it felt like the first 3 issues were spent setting up that concept. Now that Millar is playing around in his little sandbox this book is much better. It is great to see the contrast of the fantastic with the mundane. Toby has a real crisis on his hands but in the Marvel world thats is unremarkable. Lots of funny and interesting stuff for Millar to play with.

 My only concern is I have no idea where this is going with only one issue left. This feel like issue 5 of 12 rather than 5 of 6. It seems likely that this will lead into Millar's runs on Fantastic Four and Wolverine but that reamains to be seen.

The art is definately interesting. Edwards has the love it or hate it sketchy style. However, the most interesting thing is the difference in art between the Marvel world and the Real world. The use of different color palettes is awesome. I am very curious to know how this would have come out if it was done with photo realism like was originally intended.
