Previous Post Quote: Just caught up on the last chapters and am still soaking up all the ramifications, but well done all round on coming up with an epic that certainly kept the reader wondering what would happen next. I think when people look back on it they'll see it was really pretty predictable. The heroes won, the people who'd been set up to die died, characters were ruthlessly pushed into their new slots; apart from the heroes winning it was a Bendis story. Quote: I think my favourite past was The Goddess of the North's Story. A nice bookend to Zdenka's life. It's a shame she came back only to die as the lifelong pawn of the Hooded Hood, but I wonder if the living embodiment of Candia can really be dead as long as the country itself survives. Or can Candia survive without it's living embodiment? Quote: Her death and that of the Librarian were truly heroic though, I think we should make her an honorary Legionnaire. Good idea. I really think we should start a poll. Proceed. Quote: I also enjoyed how the final battle was told from the perspective of the Carinifex. It was certainly different. But if he was just the minion who or what were his masters is now the big unanswered question. It's a question the Hood intends to answer, even if he has to destroy everything to answer it. Quote: It's good to see the Hood fired up. From that last scene it seems like the Hood is back to arch-villain badness, and the Lair Legion should be worried about it. They should. He's much more dangerous than the Parody Master or the Carnifex. Quote: Looking forward to the next issue! I'm hoping to get it started today.

Nah, I agree with Viz.

If anything, the simple proof is in the fact I stopped reading Avengers (and comics in general) after Bendis took over. I'm looking forward to your next issue (which I see is up the board a ways).
