I know this is only loosely related to the Avengers board but oh well,..
Does anyone else get the feeling this series is like a rip off of Dark Knight Returns?
Story line,... atmosphere,.. artwork,...
It just isn't doing it for me.

Nobody else had anything to say? was I the only one who got suckered in by this poor little series?
Oh well, now that the complete set is mine all mine I can finally put it in the back of my 'wish I hadn't' box

The run just wasn't what I had hoped it was gonna be. There was no real point where this series reached out and grabbed me. If it wasn't for me being so compulsive, I wouldn't have finished the series. (back to the whole Bendis dream thing)
You know how with some series you really look forward to next month's installment so you can see what happens next. With this series I only looked forward to the next installment just to see if it would ever get interesting for me.
The classic moments in series
SPOILER in case it matters
When a bad guy sees the light and sacrifices himself in attonement. Not a poinant moment, more pathetic.
The Hero face high odds. Sort of dry and Hackneyed
The hero fces doubts from his past and rises above them. Contrived and forced.
There just wasn't a flow to get caught up in.
So it is now a dust collecting collection

Are you referring to Spider-Man: The Reign, or is there another mini with a similar title ? If it's Spidey's one, only flipped through it on the internet. At first I tought it was like Spider-Man the End, but the story was so sad and depressing that I couldn't push myself to do more that give it a quick look

yeah, the spidy reign, the story wasn't the only sad and depressing about it.
the art the writing the cliches but the worst is the fact that I shelled out the entire amount for it.

unfortunately I couldn't get a set like this signed, even if I have the opportunity. I have a hard time not letting my brain escape through my vocal chords. I'd wait calmly in line for my turn , and then just as he was about to sign, I'd blurt out "what end of you did those ideas come out of?" They probably wouldn't want to sign it then.

Let me guess, Nutcase: you're probably the proud owner of a stockinged leg lamp as well...
