      My main issue with War of Kings is in the title and the concept… I’m unclear on the whole thing, and the title of the crossover is a bit too “on the nose.” It’s as if Secret Invasion were called “Skrulls In Your Face,” or Final Crisis called “Ha Ha Batman Won’t Die, And You Should Know Better, Stephen.”

      Also important: elevating Blastaar and Vulcan to the title of King/Emperor doesn’t make them epic opponents. Sure, they’ve done some stuff that’s nasty and all, but as of yet, neither is really the top-drawer epic bad guy that a series like this warrants. Granted, they could come out the other side as legit big bads, but right now their putative status as giant threats remains somewhat “meh.”

      And Black Bolt, to be frank, was kinda more likable when he was a Skrull… :)

      Agreed. While I have thoroughly enjoyed Marvel’s Cosmic line in recent years, I have very little interest in the Inhumans (who I feel have had way too much attention lately) or the Shi’ar under Vulcan’s leadership. I also see no reason why the Guardians or Nova (legitimately interesting characters) should be involved except to add more cross-overs.

      I’m still on the fence about this boo: yet another in a non-stop string of grand Marvel events.

      I, on the other hand, cannot wait for this series…

      …when it comes out in trade form.

      FYI: to my surprise, these preview pages (with dialogue! LOL!) are available in the 1st issue of “X-Men: First Class Finals” that I just bought today. The brief prequel was titled “Asunder”—and it was not only great to look at, but a very enjoyable read!
