It needn't have been detailed, just something to make a reader think, "Oh, that sucks for poor Thor that he had no choice but to kill Wasp" instead of, "Wow, Thor seemed really eager to kill Wasp."<BR/><BR/>I mean, Bendis was already writing a few hundred words on that page anyway, why not set the scene with some of that pitter-patter?Calebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01391759187396994380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-61528266405912970062008-12-05T12:43:00.000-08:002008-12-05T12:43:00.000-08:00It's interesting that some of the best DC comics r...It's interesting that some of the best DC comics right now are those aimed at kids.
