Wow! Now that’s an event issue. It’s all out war for Osborn and his cronies. Thor has been knocked for a loop but is not out of the fight yet. Meanwhile Cap is prepping a team of Avengers to go assist Asgard.

Coipel’s art is amazing and the story is moving at a breakneck pace. Without giving any spoilers away, there are a couple of powerful moments in this issue and the last page is not only awesome, but promises of more awesomeness next issue. I’ve been enjoying DC’s Blackest Night for the most part, but eight issues sure drags out the event. Here we are at the halfway point already in Marvel’s Siege and you now in two issues Osborn is going to fall hard. Damn this is an entertaining series. (Shane Hnetka)
