Quote: "That's what he gets for attacking the Avengers in #98-100. Serves him right!" Take a look online, and you'll find that experienced readers are repelled by the death, not in a visceral way, but by the idea that a body being pulled apart is terrific entertainment, the highlight of the issue, something to celebrate and admire.<br /><br />I get the impression that you've been in the job for so long, and have devised so many arbitrary standards for justifying what you've done in any given issue, that you really don't know what you're doing, in a professional sense, any more.<br /><br />SRS<br /><br />Posted by Steven R.

A Google search on AVENGERS #500, SIEGE #2, and Vision indicates that I'm the only one to note the repetition. I wonder how hard it is, especially for people who read a lot of comics, to do "compare and contrast" critiques of comics. Do the scenes just blur together in their memories, or does "compare and contrast" require a lot of mental effort from someone who's not used to doing it?<br /><br />My opinion of SIEGE #2, etc. is at http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2010/02/the-fifth-color-grr-bam-kaboom/#comment-23908Steven R.
