If you like it, I'll try it from the beginning and see if I can catch up.<BR/><BR/>Tracer - House of M was unreadable. I got through a few chapters and was so confused I sent it packing. I think the reason I didn't hate Civil War was the same reason I didn't hate Identity Crisis: They were far from perfect, but at least I could tell what was going on. Aliens and magic bore me silly. CW and IC were at least about politics, revolution, conspiracy.... stuff that I understand. Whenever the fabric of reality itself is messed with, things get too complicated too quickly for my tired old brain. Then again, I had to read Crisis on Infinite Earths three times before I understood everything that happened (how sad for me).Adam Barnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573914395859734760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-1067177192212022192009-01-09T07:30:00.000-06:002009-01-09T07:30:00.000-06:00Were there any highlights to Secret Invasion?

As far as I know, the Skrulls and the heroes fought in the Savage Land, wrecked New York for nine months or so, and then went away. <BR/><BR/>I'm astonished that you don't like Incredible Hercules. It's about the only Marvel book that I'm reading anymore, and it is hilarious.

"Turn our advance scouts into cows, Reed Richards? Taste Skrull vengeance!" (I know the Skrullburger thing has already been done.)<BR/><BR/>And Leinil Yu would probably have given every sigle cow exactly the same chin. Do you think he did that on purpose, or has he lost the ability to draw distinguishable faces?D.B. Echohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01797128570217627410noreply@blogger.com
