You spend seven minutes reading three issues. Seven minutes pass. They should make it into a TV show, like 24. Secret Invasion a real time comic.

It's halfway through and I'm not even excited. Although I liked the (seeming) return of Mockingbird, the existence of the duplicate throwback heroes mostly seems confusing for no reason. I guess but Bendis has reasons for all this and we'll see how it plays out in the second half. But even the return of Fury didn't do anything for me, surrounded by his young recruits (Son of Ghost Rider?). Mostly I am just disappointed because I really enjoyed Civil War and World War Hulk -- I mean granted they started out great and ended kinda "meh", but I think that's somewhat to be expected when writers are faced with fandom's desire for things not to change too much overall. So to be halfway through SI with not much excitement is just sad to me. I wouldn't even recommend SI to anyone, but I told plenty of people to check out CW and WWH. Ah well.

My name is usually spelled "Neufeld" without that extra "i". Thanks for the poetic shout-out to AMERICAN SPLENDOR #3. My name is usually spelled “Neufeld” without that extra “i”.
