[flint_marko]

This is from Siege #3, by Brian Michael Bendis and Olivier Coipel.

Tony returns and dismantles Norman's armor, so he tells the Sentry to "bring it down!" and the Sentry destroys Asgard.

OMG! It's The Tick!

[pyrotwilight]

Good god, it's AIDA! (.hack reference)

I have no idea what the hell that is. Void acting like Mephisto?

[ultimatecharm]

Yeah, I don't know who that is either.

Still, we are born innocent.
Believe me, we are still innocent.
It's easy, we all falter, but does it matter?

[shadowpsykie]

ok.... that is scary.... that is VERy scary...

loved that Spidey got the last lick in though

[bradhanon]

Well, yeah. Pete majored in "Punching Norman Osborn" in high school, and minored in it in college. He's still an occasional contributor to the International Journal of Punching Norman Osborn. I saw him as a guest lecturer once--the man's a real authority on the subject.

[daningram.insanejournal.com]

Remember writers, telegraphing your plot points isn't lazy, it's foreshadowing! Really!

[arxh]

Has Osborne really been abusing the goblin serum that much that his skin is turning green?

[theanswer]

Looks like it's just face paint.

[proteus_lives]

That image of the Void is very creepy. Very Lovecraftian.

[theanswer]

I love seeing the classic Iron Man armor again, wish it were here for good.

Motto!

[steverodgers5]

That to me is Iron Man.

I think they really lost something from the 90es onward when seemingly every artist that came on board wanted to design a new suit of armour.

I remember when the the red and silver outfit debuted, it was quite a big event. Nowdays, it's like 'Oh Tony's got a new suit of armour..Must be a day ending in a 'y'.....Meh!

But yeah, The old classic suitcase armour that he had for..what about 20 years? If it ain't broke..don't fix it!

[theanswer]

The Void has spider features. Coincidence? No.

lawls One More Day is back to haunt us.

[bruinsfan]

Looks more like mite or louse legs to me. I think they're just going for arthropod-esquely creepy. And man, have they succeeded - he looks much more sinister than he did as a black blob, or with the tangible greenish tentacles spilling out of him last issue.

[jcbaggee]

Marvel (and DC, for that matter) should really take note. SIEGE being only 4 issues has resulted in much tighter plotting and a lot more "OH SHIT!" moments, as opposed to their usual 8 issue long events that lose steam around the mid point.

[theanswer]

How exactly is this an "Oh, shit!" moment? Nothing unexpected has happened.

[majingojira]

There has only been one sane solution to the problem of the Sentry/The Void.

Only one.

GOLDION CRUSHER!

Time to drop that hammer.

[punishermax]

OH FUCK IT'S A REAPER!

SOMEONE CALL COMMANDER SHEPHARD !

[halloweenjack]

Heh, I just got ME2 the other day. I decided to make a female version and call her Delores May Shepard, as in "Delores May Shepard, I shall not want..."

[thefinalwraith.livejournal.com]

So... Next issue Doom and Loki reveal that there is no way someone like the Sentry could take them out, and end up removing him and the Void from existence?

[halloweenjack]

The Cosmic Cube, the Infinity Gauntlet, The Midnighter with a sharp stick, whatever. Bored now.

[flidgetjerome]

I'm going to call it now and say that Wanda will show up to take him down, burn out her powers in the process and be restored to someone who's not really very powerful unless some supervillain needs her as their McGuffin device. Which is about every five years or so.

[qalchemist]

Call me weird, but...

I thought the best part of the issue was the stuff after the comic panels, with Maria Hill and the Chiefs of Staff going back and forth via old Nick Fury channels and getting and giving orders here and there. I thought that was very well done. >.>

[comicoz]

Am I the only one who enjoyed the SpiderPunch then?

[dazzledfirestar]

Absolutely not. I loved it. :)

[mullon]

Well shit, I really was hoping that Osborn wasn't going to be taken down at the end of Siege like everyone expected, and that it was all part of some brilliant plan to take over the world.

Worst Part of the Issue?

[protogarrett]

The death of Victoria Hand. This made me so, so sad.

Re: Worst Part of the Issue?

[icon_uk]

That's quite a spoiler to drop.

[gl_lg]

Judging from the last panel I think its time to say: Well...their boned.

I'm confused

[roguefankc]

Why are the civilians (like the reporter and her cameraman) seemingly surprised at Osborn having a goblin-like face? Wasn't it public knowledge that Osborn used to be the Green Goblin? I would have thought they'd be taken aback, but then they'd go "Oh, he's doing his old identity again schtick."

And that last image: is that Loki or Sentry?

Re: I'm confused

[stolisomancer.insanejournal.com]

It's Sentry.

Osborn's not supposed to come out of the armor with greenish skin and bad teeth. That's unusual.

[thosefew]

Who would like a few more panels of heroes saying "Toldja."?

*raises hand*

[roguefankc]

Me.

Now add in Steve Rogers verbally ripping Miriam Sharpe, Ben Urich, and Sally Floyd a new one on national TV and I'm golden. =)

[jjgalahad]

Bob, go throw the Void into the S-

. . . well, SHIT.

[kingrockwell]

Win!

[freezer]

The reaction shots to Norman unravelingmasking brings up a particular question and a pet peeve for the Marvel U in general: Why aren't the X-Men and FF right there in Asgard helping take Osborn down? Can they really claim it's "not their business?"

This is always bugged me, they way these big, public battle royales break out in the middle of New York City, and ONLY the Avengers, or ONLY the X-Men or ONLY the FF handle it without so much as a handwave Aren't these guys allies?

[bwhahahabeck]

I can understand X-Men not being there as they have a LOT of shit on their plate all the damn time. Right now, it's Necrosha.

[glprime]

And that punch, ladies and gentlemen, is 2010's Hell Yeah Moment for the Dailies.

[comicoz]

Write. It. Down.

[starpiper]

Urgh. Sentry/Void is really rocking the eldrich abomination look there and creeping me right the heck out. Awesome job from Coipel.

[lamashtar]

It's the mandibles coming out of Bob's mouth panel that really sells it for me. :)

[euthanatos]

I don't care what anyone says, that is one scary ass looking thing.
