"Wondering how long it'd take for the events of September 11th to go from real life tragedy to thoughtless plot McGuffin? Marvel's new mega-event Siege demonstrates that the answer is "eight years, and we can kill even more people."" - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

I've been unimpressed with the concepts for Civil War and Secret Invasion, etc. Maybe they have their hearts in the right place, but even as premises, it's all been a bunch of terrible stuff. - Andrew C

As bad as CIVIL WAR was, I put up with it right up to the point where the heroes decided to have their super-important battle a few blocks from the WTC. Yeah, great idea: blow up a school, get outlawed, then fight in Manhattan. By the time CW ended, I was rooting for the Hulk to come back and rip them all a new one. - Steven Perez from IM
