BONUS REVIEW by JOHN ROBINSON


Norman Osborn needs a justification to attack Asgard, so Loki provides one. Marvel needs a big story to re-unite the original AVENGERS, and just like in Avengers #1 - Loki once again provides a reason. It's a BIG EVENT MARVEL comic, and while it's no CIVIL WAR, it's also no WORLD WAR HULK either. It's more like SECRET INVASION lite. Even if it was a train wreck, it would be a MARVEL BIG EVENT Train wreck and most of us can't help but look.

I give it 6 out of 10 Grahams
