I'm glad Dark Reign came to an end. Heroes can't keep taking loses, and settling for pyrrhic victories. Not the Avengers. I have not read an Osborn story since the Superior Spider-Man. I just love that deranged bastard. You know me, I love shameless evildoers. IIRC, I think Loki was triggering Norman, too. I think some Volstagg shenanigans took place to set things off, too.
Clearly, Roger Stern or Kurt Busiek, would have given a better story with all the characters featured.
I did LOL when Osborn was shown to have green paint on his face following his defeat.
The art was just glorious.
