Oh my god are you kidding? The big conflict this whole thing has been building to is going to be resolved before #6 comes out? Good effing grief. Marvel, you fail my high school creative writing class! PACE. IS. EVERYTHING!

And how weird WAS that Steve Rogers mark-out moment in Iron Man? I was happy too…but it was just so out of left field, thanks to Reborn’s delays!

This really has been completely flubbed though. It hurts me whenever a series disappoints and falls short not for any artistic reasons, but rather for logistical failings. Ugh. I share your sentiments entirely.

Also, yeah….that extension. Which means the “Who Will Wield the Shield” one-shot is coming out before Reborn #6. Which means I’ll be buying the one-shot and shelving it till I can read Reborn #6.

F’ing brilliant, Marvel.

I feel that the Reborn series is quite good in and of itself so far, but honestly, the weird release changes have really kind of screwed it up for me. I mean, you already covered most of this in the article, but in all honesty my big “return of Cap” mark-out moment was from last week’s Iron Man. After that, this issue was just…pretty meh. Add that to the fact that I somehow missed the memo that it was being extended (and was quite disappointed when I discovered I’d have to wait for yet ANOTHER issue for the whole damn thing to finally get closure) and…yeah. Its just lost its punch and luster, which is a damn shame. It makes me sad that what should have been a huge, happy moment for us Cap fans has been pretty much ruined thanks to something as stupid as a release schedule.

Oh well. I’ll always have memories of that final Iron Man page, I guess.
