Title: Surprisingly Good Event Comic
Review: I'm not usually enamoured of the big event comics; they tend to skimp on real drama and just go for the big action and the big crossovers. This comic is a major exception. Deaths of minor characters in this book are explored thoughtfully, instead of being glossed over, spring cleaning moments like in Avengers: Disassembled.Even though I wasn't really familiar with some of the characters murdered in this clever superhero mystery, I really cared about their deaths, their implications, and what they meant to their friends. The crossover and mystery elements are handled ably, making it an easy read.The art is acceptable -- I'm not a huge Michael Turner fan, so the cover and publicity art didn't excite me, but there's nothing terrible here. A good all-around comic, which just happens to be a big summer event. A nice surprise.
