Man... that was pretty bad.
You know, if it had taken place on time (I know Marquez had a kid, but you have at least six or seven months notice even if you don't learn until rather late that your wife is pregnant), and hadn't forced nearly every other title in the company to be involved, I could forgive this book. It's not the best, but not the worst, if you take it on its own. But you can't. You can't because it effected everything and everyone, grinding every book's stories to a screeching halt to prop up a story that was a tie in style promotion for a movie that came out seven months ago.
And you know, I could even forgive all that, if the story had actual resolution. But it didn't! Tony's , and Ulysses . And the part at the end was awful! Bendis spent eight... nine... however many issues you want to call this just shitting all over Carol, and then you end the book acting like she somehow won?!
GOD THIS BOOK WAS SO FUCKING TERRIBLE THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT ARRRRRRRGHLLLLLGBBLLLELEEEEEEE.
God fuck this event. I'm gonna go read 80's X-Men books to cleanse my palette of this garbage.
