Well, you were right and it happens right here!! Norman Osborn faces off with Doctor Doom and his mysterious threat to Doom is revealed. All of this is setting the stage for next month's explosive event: SIEGE!

I do appreciate Marvel Comics ability to admit when they were wrong. It's awfully enlightened, and quite rare, to see a superorganism being humble like that.

	I don't think it's a case of Marvel admitting they were wrong, as it seemed pretty clear from the get-go that it was going to implode in on itself with everyone planning on backstabbing each other. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	To DC and Marvel: Stop making elongated events. You have worn the gimic down to next to nothingness. How may times can the Earth/Universe/Mutliverse/Platapus be in such terrible danger in the span on a decade? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	While I dislike their marketing, I don't really mind the "meta narrative" of the Marvel U. They also tend to switch which comics gets involved in these events a fair bit (IE: First a big Avengers event, then a big X-men Event, etc.) So it tends to be not quite as bad as it seems.

	I know it's not quite what you mean: but in my comics, I hope the Earth is in danger every few months! That's the fun of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
