Check It Out - Siege

Posted by Merin | February 4, 2010 .

I’ve not been a fan of the Marvel huge cross-over for awhile now.  Nor of Brian Michael Bendis and his writing style.

That said, many people are enjoying the current slew of what I like to call “Dark Marvel” and if villains winning, super-heroes sniping at each other, and generalized themes of dictators and military law and the worse sides of human nature appeal to you -

maybe you should read Siege.

Issue 2 came out today.  Someone (fairly) big dies, and while that might seem spoiler-ish, no one stays dead in comic books.  No one.  Barry Allen and Bucky are back - there are no sacred cows.  Look to see Rusty reappear in a future issue of X-Men.

Bendis has a sense of the dramatic - but I would qualify that would the word “over” at the front.

And have I mentioned the only time I ever enjoyed The Sentry was when Hulk beat him unconscious?
