For such an "epic" event, the whole thing has been pretty underwhelming. Bucky got a crappy death, Juggernaut got taken off of the T-Bolts, and Thor is dead again even though we know it's only a matter of time before he returns.

This ending is UTTERLY CLIMACTIC.

"Okay, we're gonna need three pillars, and some wood. Can someone get me some wood?"
(And seriously, they killed off Thor? ...Have they seen the NorseKink Meme? Okay, hopefully not, but huge market, right there.)

They might as well announce that they don't want anyone to ever buy their books again and get it done with.

IMO Secret Invasion was the company's biggest misstep prior to FI (if only for the pointless death of Janet and for the meh ending and non skrull related aftermath after YEARS of buildup).
But yeah killing Thor AGAIN (after a successful movie AND his title getting more attention now more than ever?) and killing Bucky (i was almost sure it was a fakeout)? WTF?

Actually, what's the shortest window between a major big 2 hero dying and being resurrected (in publishing time)?
