August 29, 2008 12:19 am I made the mistake of re-reading the first 3 issues before diving into 4.  That just revealed how thinly plotted the last 2 issues are.  Romita is really spinning gold out of straw lately.  The art momentarily tricks me into thinking I'm getting a full meal here.  I guess I'd be less disappointed if I was reading this in a trade, but right now I feel I just read a 5 page transition stretched over a whole book.  Not a bad issue, just so unsatisfying...  Story: 2, Art: much more than that.
