His DD has succeeded in not interesting me in a progressively less-interested-with-each-new-issue sort of way and couldn't even begin really with his X-Men, but on rereading most of his Cap, I got right back into the swing, there.
There's something a bit weird in the Crossbones/Syn and Cap/Carter parallel, even if we've cut some generations into the Agent 13 mix to make that slightly healthier. Like to see that explored deeper, which isn't hard to excuse since there's no Cap to take up the title, right now.
Still, it's a bit annoying to me that this still smells like a story Waid and Garney handled better in half the issues. And still had time to shoehorn Doom and some man-without-a-flag business into.
And, while it's a bit threadrotty, 'Even the name “The Invaders” is an invention of the ‘70s' is just so 'I believe in the true continuity, today's continuity - that I just made up' it's pathetic. Ross is going to make me hate comics, some day, between his personally-enforced continuity, his trope of female heroes being defeated off-panel so their limp bodies can make iconic statement of image, his own awkward brand of ethnic determinism, and y'know, the whole not being willing to paint a whole Obsidian because OMFG they gayed him, those playful writers with their ideas! |
