    Just End It Already!

    After the great offering last month had to offer, this issue is somewhat infuriating. It's tedious, plods along, the action is uninteresting, and it feels like this is just trying to buy the series some time before the event finally ends. Seeing as we just had a filler issue last month (albeit a much better one), it begs the question as to why we couldn't have just gotten another one. I just don't care too much any more. Loki is one of my favorite characters, but all of this is just too drenched in repetition, uninteresting side characters, and a general lack of characterization for Loki whatsoever. It honestly didn't feel like this issue had much of anything to offer up until the last page. If you've been following this series, you'll buy it anyway, but I'm just ready for this story to be done.

      In almost every way, this entire series thus far has been entirely dependent on Fear Itself for its success,which has not been a particularly easy task seeing as Fear itself is not getting to the places where its creators might have hoped it would have.  This series has maintained some relevance by basically showing a story of Loki conniving which really is fun to see in itself regardless of the context.  Here finally we get to have the plot tied into the main story line more directly and the re...
