Did Emma or Ant Man do anything?
I think this whole event was an excuse to get Fury out of the way and then as an answer when people ask why they don't do more with him; "He was the star of our last event. blah blah blah" it really sucks that they kept him old and made him some kind of a wandering slave though. I hope it's reversed soon and all the Howling Commandos can reveal that they faked their deaths.
And Panther was written like a real jerk just like in AvX. I guess Aaron really care too much for him.
Good Marvel characters- Bring Them Back!!!

I'm surprised nobody else found the "sack of bloody stew" comment really weird.

Right, a mini series that extended across other titles, cost $3.99 and had tie-in books.
It's irrelevant how prominent he was prior to this series. Now the potential to be anything more than a background character is gone unless they do some massive backtracking. And judging by the effort they went through to put him there, I doubt he'll make a comeback any time soon. He's Nick Fury Senior Citizen. Could you imagine that happening to a character you like?
Even though Marvel didn't kill Nick Fury, as every Nick Fury fan was wailing from the start that Marvel was plotting to do, Fury fans are still crying about his treatment here. Putting Nick front and center of a big Marvel event and giving him a new status quo - a fairly cool one at that - seems to me like the character got a more than fair shake.
As for the series as a whole, I dug it. I think it could've been trimmed by an issue or two but on the other hand I didn't think it was overly drawn out. While it wasn't a big leap to guess that Nick was behind the Watcher's death, I like the way it played out. Mostly, I just liked the quirkiness of this event. Aaron was definitely the right guy to pen a story that revolves around something as absurd as characters fighting over a pair of oversized eyeballs. The moment in #8 where the bloody stems of the Watcher's eyes start to strangle The Orb was genius. Hilarious and grotesque all at once.
Also, I have to say I can't remember another event that had tie-ins as good as this one did.
Did they explain how a whole race of beings (who's entire purpose is to watch) would be fine with a human replacing one of their own .
Im really waiting for this series to come out on marvel unlimited. The whole idea of watchers eyes having powers and attacking someone is kind of absurd to me. Ive been reading threads, but I dont recall reading Midas's and the Orbs main motive for breaking into the watchers place was.
"It's fun and it's cool, so that's all that matters. It's what comics are for, Duh."
