Comments on: Siege #4 – Review http://weeklycomicbookreview.com/2010/05/13/siege-4-review-2/ Your source for comic book commentary Thu, 06 Nov 2014 06:58:58 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.3.15 By: paladinking http://weeklycomicbookreview.com/2010/05/13/siege-4-review-2/#comment-8373 Tue, 18 May 2010 19:07:55 +0000 http://weeklycomicbookreview.com/?p=10634#comment-8373 I didn’t mind Dark Reign as much as most, but my reaction to the last scene of this issue made it clear that, yeah, apparently I’m really, really happy to see it over.

Coipel is a beast, though I wonder how Marvel is going to use him moving forward. After Thor, it doesn’t seem like the guy can maintain a monthly schedule of any considerable length. Even Siege #4 was delayed.

Yes I just went Yoda. 😛 I’ve honestly been disappointing in Marvel ever since Civil Wars. Dark Reign was really pathetic and DC has been kicking their tails in terms of quality pretty much ever since. I am jacked for what they have in store with everything that is spinning out of this series. All of the various Avenger books, Steve Rogers Super-Soldier, etc.

Olivier Coipel is one of the best artist in the business right now. Considering how amazing he was on Thor he took his game to another level with this series. He was this series as far as I’m concerned. Not slighting Bendis because he did a good job but man Coipel is just flat out freakish.

Hum, yeah that was a bit of a bummer. Given Marvel’s track record for spoiling things over the past year though, this is far from the worse they’ve done.

@Andy

It happens, especially when writing reviews in bunches. “That being said” just represents a common review logic, so, it slips in. At least the review was over 600 words. I do try my best to watch out for things like that but with such a big load this week….whoops.

@Roman

You cared about that character’s end? You’re a better man than me, I suppose. It’s funny, because I’ve really liked the character in Bendis’ hands over the last year, but this really didn’t get anything out of me.

Agreed on the strong finish though, especially given how weak the first issue was.

Thanks for the comments guys!

I never thought I would care for that character. And now I’m really excited for the Heroic Age. I was waiting for Bendis to really drop the ball on this, like he usually does in the last issue. Good to see him finish strong for once.

Twice in one article!! How about just review it and leave out “That being said”? Having said that, nice review.
