Warhammer 40,0000 (Marvel)

[CentralPower]

This seems like the best place to discuss the "Warhammer 40,000" series that Marvel is publishing.

The first three issues have been about what I expected.

Gillen's writing is competent, and he is probably the best writer in Marvel's stable (other than Dan Abnett) to write this series.

But, Marvel's approach to 40K plays too much in to Games Workshop's push to make 40K mainstream,sacrificing much of what made 40K unique.

It is not all bad. Gillen manages to write combat scenes with less talking than what clutters most main stream comics. But, the comics lack the focus on the backdrop that once defined 40K.
