February 25, 2010 4:17 pm AMEN Adam!  You said it better than I could ever hope to!  Not one BUT TWO dream sequences?  I half expected Bobby Ewing to come walking out of a shower by the end of the issue.
February 25, 2010 4:07 pm Sweet baby jesus no.  This, and the other Siege books this week, were pretty colossal disappointments.  Not one but TWO issues of Avengers set prior to the Siege #1?  That's insanely bad planning.  Add that to an issue of Thor completely incompatible with Siege:Embedded and a Dark Wolverine that was essentially two dream sequences strung together and I am left deeply, deeply frustrated I elected to buy all the Siege titles this week.  Immomen's art was stiff (Worst example of this: Spider-Women apparently has trained at the same dojo as the Rockettes).  Not good.  Not good at all.
