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?

Jim Yoho is the owner of In Genre, Wausau Comics, and JAY Entertainment and he maintains the site as well as adding the occasional article or review of his own. He often goes by Merin online, from way back in the BBS days of dial-up modems even.
Having enjoyed writing reviews and postings for other sites he decided to start his own where he combined his creative urges to write and create web comics (such as Episode Fun and Alistair & Arthur) with his long-held desire to bring together and organize talented people for joint projects. The end result is that you get the Wausau Comics site - articles and reviews of genre entertainment at In Genre plus some web comics and links to the works of other Contributors, too!
