Almost every War of Kings title that has wound up in my box has been a near contender for Pick of the Week.  There was that World of Skaar thing...ugh.  I should have looked to see who was penning this one, and left it alone. 

If you're a Gladiator fan, then you get an alright origin tale.  If you happen to be like me, with the feeling that after War of Kings Gladiator will go back to gathering dust on the Cosmic Toys shelf; then this is not worth picking up.

I couldn't bring myself to even try to finish actually reading it after the order of "Go back and kill your council" given. 

As for the second story...well I'll just wait them to print it as a back up story for a comic that I want to read.  Thanks for ruining a good comic reading evening, Marvel.
