Thunderbolts 110 and Ms. Marvel Civil War Xover

[Mitchel]

Warning, Mild Spoilers to Thunderbolts 110 below.

Man, that Thunderbolts #110 really paints the Pro-Registration side in a real bad light. I want to stay Pro-registration and was able to with Brian's story even though many other readers were rooting for Arachne but now I found myself rooting for Jack Flagg after seeing the rotten people the pro-registration is sending after him. I guess Arachne should count her blessings it was Carol & Simon knocking at her parents door and not the Thunderbolts.

I hated T-Bolts but I was pre-disposed that way. I liked Deodato's cheesecake style best so the art disappointed me. The character stuff was too slow, ponderous, and wordy but I guess Ellis gets paid by the word. Now, I understand it's a set up issue so I won't write it off until next issue if I do write it off (when will that be? June?) but my biggest problem is Norman Osborne. I was a kid when I bought the issue he died in. The retcon never fit IMO. Now, if there had been a burning need for Osborne in the comics I would have accepted a ressurrection as lame as Wonder Man's (pick any one) but Osborne had an important death, no need for his character for twenty years, and then a silly return. And it's bothered me that Norman bothered to fake Aunt May's death but not Harry's.

I'm ranting again, aren't I? I'll stop now...
