right after fantomex talks about allgod potentially escaping the world? thought that was a funny line, too.
i'm just a fantomex fan, and it was nice seeing a wolverine story where he wasn't the star. some other series or books that worked similarly, like the three-issue 'beast' mini that was really about karma, weren't to my liking. but i enjoyed this issue quite a bit.
the list is hilarious...they might has well have called it "a list.........of ways to make osborn fail miserably and look utterly stupid." he hasnt had any quantifiable success with any of them
I mentioned this in the Bullseye respect thread but I was disappointed with the Daredevil issue in that you could cast any villain in Bullseye's role and it would be the same.
Frankencastle seems like a weird direction. Weirder than killing him and making him a divine agent.

Obviously they need to end it right, but did anybody besides me feel like a good-old "You're my enemy, I'm yours. Let's finish this." fight had been missing from Marvel?
I really hope Spider-Man has a hand in Norman's downfall.
My theory is that he will. If you remember, New Avengers has been about making everyone feel like Spider-Man; fighting against media perceptions, having everything against you, having Osborn as a villain. I think that having Spidey dust him off would sort of bring him back around as the hero of the piece.
He kind of deserves that after all the shit he's been through (In and out of comics. Lookin' at you, Quesada).
I want a fight though, man. Like, a multiple pages fight. A long fight.
Obviously it'll play out like none of us dream, but we can hope it turns out agreeable great, or better.
What I do love about what Bendis has done with Osborn is how he's written him to not lose sight of the one over-ruling desire he has; kill Spider-Man. He has all the control in the world, he's been in power for ages, he has everything a criminal could want. No heroes have shown up to save the day and won, they've tried and failed on many occassions during Dark Reign.
Yet, throughout all of this success, you know that nothing would please him more than to actually kill Spidey. You KNOW that he remembers EVERY defeat, every humiliation. He even mentioned it in Dark Reign - The List: Hulk. He recalled that time when Spidey followed him into the cave.
What would cause the greatest shock ever was if he pulled it off. If Marvel did that...wow. They won't, not at three titles a month (Four?), but still. D.C. proved how it can work with Superman.
i liked the part where [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Norman catches Spidey at the computer and Spidey goes "Look Naked Belgiens" and they actually feel for it
