War of the Realms #2


   Here we are, at the second issue of the latest event from Marvel - so you know what that means, right?

   Yep - time for a hero to die.

   This issue of the War of the Realms mini-series puts the focus on the battle in New York City, as vast armies of monsters invade, intent on conquering the Earth.

   The heroes rally - including everyone from the Avengers to Luke Cage, Iron Fist and a very human Jane Foster (who was, until recently, the Mighty Thor). 

   But they're overwhelmed by vast numbers of invading giants, trolls, demons and elves - and the best they can hope for is to evacuate the innocent civilians caught in the middle.

   As for that death, let's just say that as you're reading the comic, you may look at each character and think, "Is this character going to die?" The one that seems like the best candidate will indeed be the one who dies horribly.

   Other than that, the comic features terrific art and a nicely-building story. If you like big events, this is your huckleberry.
