Look, I'm no dummy and I am sure Marc Spector is not truly dead, but it feels like a cheap trick of a storyline.
Hmmmm... let's "kill" the main character and then we will reveal he did not die and he will return. Hasn't happened before, has it? It is also very similar with the February solicitation or Black Panther, where he is replaced by another.
This could be a cool story depending on how it is told, but the track record so far does not support that. Huston's run was kinda cool and I am somewhat enjoying Benson's run, but as I stated in my fisrt post, you have these little windows of opportunity that get me psyched and then fall short or are not executed well. I hope this is a step in the right direction and is a reflection adn growth for Marc. Hopefully, Marc will get outta dodge with his friends shunning him and having very little support it is an obvious choice under these circumstances. What reall bugged me the most about this solicitation is after reading the last issue and "Khonshu" saying there are others creates an opportunity for this upcoming storyline to make a wrong turn.
On a positive note, the new Dell'otto cover rocks. Much better than the Suydam covers of late.
