Really losing any of the respect that I'd built up for Millar through The Ultimates.

This started out so promising, with the relationship between son and father, son and mother, son and step-dad, and the sudden appearance of the villains.

Then it all went off the rails with Millar's signature lazy storytelling. Repetitive stories, an underwhelming cop-out ending...

Nope. ( )

Liked it, but thought it was a huge misfire to establish Marvel superheroes crossing over into our world along with villains so early in the narrative. It killed the suspense. Instead of leaving us thinking the world is screwed and wondering how our world will survive against the supervillains, we're told way too soon that the heroes will cross over and it's just a matter of time. Weak. Reduced the impact and tension dramatically. Still cool, but serious missed potential there.

Comic villains en masse versus the real world and, eventually, comic heroes, sounds great. The story, however, was choppy and the ending seemed slapped together. In all, not the best graphic novel I've read, but certainly better than some! ( )

The eternal battle between superheroes and villians spills into a sleepy little town. Just who or what has broken the barrier between reality and imagination? ( )

New graphic novel about comic heroes, reality, fantasy, and adventure! ( )
