The members on this board were the only reason I bought the first issue of Crisis. And it was good.Even the lame "This looks like a job for Superman!" line was good.
I'm curious to see what else changes besided the Decimation of the mutants. The story over all though has been more like a movie or a TV show than a comic book. This is both good and bad. I like the verisimilitude that Bendis brings to his characters, but he has serious pacing problems. By that I don't mean that he's slow, I mean that he doesn't measure out his alloted space very well. Some things seem to drag out while others seem hurried. I wish he either took 10 or 12 issues to tell the story (note how DC has given IC plenty of room to spread its wings, and that the tie-ins, while not required reading, actually do have bearing on and match up with the main story) or had made better use of the space he has. Paced better, last two issues could've had half as much build up and more of the fight in issue six. That would have left more room in this issue for cool character interaction without shortchanging the big brawl quite so much.
(SPOILERS)
#7 has turned around a faltering story for me, but it shouldn't have been faltering in the first place. I love that when it came to it, Hawkeye didn't kill Wanda in cold blood (He could've put that first arrow through her eye if that's what he really wanted to do). That's my Hawk. He might have put her down as a mercy kill if she hadn't lego'd him away, but deep down he didn't have it in him to assasinate her for revenge. Hurt her, but not kill her.
Magneto's been better than I've seen him in years. I hope when the dust settles he'll stay on the side of the angels, having seen where his dreams lead. As a character, he was at his best when he joined the X-men and led the New Mutants while Charles was in space. Returning him to villainy squandered a great character.
