  1. I seriously doubt Tony’s a skrull.

    I think a lot of the questions you mentioned are going to be answered. Sure, you may not be certain as to why Hank sent the Initiative into battle, but the story still has five chapters left. I assume we’ll see why in the next issue.

    And I disagree about the Fury reveal. Sure, if you read MA, you know it’s coming. But it’s satisfying that way. Because we still don’t know what Fury knows, and we don’t know what his crew can do. I’m excited for next issue. Also: if you haven’t read MA, then as another reviewer said, this is a total WTF moment — the perfect cliffhanger for the next issue.

    Just my opinions, of course. 

     

     

  2. @daccampo-  Thanks for the feedback Dave.  I’m glad you’re excited for Fury’s return, and I’ve only been glancing through MA for the last few months.  For me, though, it’s definitely better if he’s dropped in without any warning.  That way, it’s surprising, and you can still have options to consider what he knows and what his crew will do in the long run.  It’s just better story telling that way I think. 

    I’m sure the questions I pose will be answered, but I was damn disappointed in this issue.  I didn’t want more questions.  I wanted some shit to happen, and while things did, it was just too loose…too baffling for me to enjoy.  I’m certainly glad that you liked it though.

  3. i think pym did want to get all those people killed – the purple lightning that the skrulls used (no clue what it was) seemed to disable the heroes, and just as the skrulls were getting down to the slaughter (starting with the vision), fury interrupts.

    maybe?

    agree with your thoughts on the fury ending – not an exciting climax. 

  4. I concur with this review, so much so that I’m going to write that says pretty much the same thing.  Heh.

  5. See, this is the difficulty of events like this and "Final Crisis"… in issue 1, 2, 3… you’re not going to get answers, you’re going to get questions.  And if you don’t like questions that aren’t answered immediately, you should probably wait for the trade.  This series is ENTIRELY ABOUT uncertainty, so the fact that the reader is uncertain about what they can trust (remember, the entire ad campaign for the book is built around the tagline "Who Do You Trust?") is almost completely the point.  If you don’t like that… well, again, there’s the trade route to go.

  6. @RaceMcCloud-  I’ll give you that these questions will be answered in future issues, but I guess, for me, I don’t need more questions.  I get the concept of the book.  Now I would like Bendis to do something with it.  The questions that I had relating to story points are minimal to the other problems that I had with the book.  You mentioned on the forums that comics are all about fun, which I agree with, but I didn’t have fun reading this issue.  It was just annoying.

  7. Im with you Neb i feel that Bendis is just setting more and more up but not paying anything off. Surely by issue 3 something should have become clearer but thats just me.
