Well . . unfortunately . . it's finally been listed. The final issue of this series will be . . #16. Apparently that's around the time that this Siege storyline will come to it's conclusion, and right before the Age of Heroes . . the next big, all encompassing story-line that looks like it will basically be the relaunch of the Marvel Universe. That's sad for 2 reasons. First of all . . I've really come to enjoy reading this book every month. And secondly . . I love getting a dose of Mike Deodato Jr's art every month. This guy is fantastic, and I just think he gets better all of the time. Anyways, this issue, as we saw the developments in the last, Bob has come back to Avengers tower and he's ready to wreak havoc on it and New York City because of what this world has done to he and Lindy, his wife. After she shot him last issue, the Void took control. It and Bob have a fight over goals and methods which eventually lead to Bob giving in. When he returns this issue, he descends on Manhattan like a biblical plague. Norman, as Iron Patriot, has to go out and talk this guy down. Which is no easy feat, but . . he does accomplish it. Brian Bendis does a fantastic job with the dialogue between these 2 characters. I love the way they banter back and forth, and that Norman talks to him like a child, a friend, and a patient all at the same time. Unfortunately for Bob . . during the course of this Norman latches on to the fact that this tantrum seems to have been sparked by Lindy. After things have calmed down . . Norman tells Bullseye at the end of this issue . .'When I give you the signal . . I need you to take care of something. His wife.' I don't see that ending well for any of them. Much to my surprise, this has been a great series and I'm really sad that it's coming to it's conclusion. Brian and Mike have done a terrific job here and should definitely be proud of what they've brought to the table. But having said that . . with this ending . . I can't wait to see where we go from here. All the previews for the Age of Heroes sound pretty exciting. Maybe Quesada really did have a plan all along, and wasn't just trying to destroy the Marvel Universe. Ahhh . . I still gotta see it to believe it. It'll be coming in May.
