He sounds mildly apologetic about how Siege links up with Invincible Iron Man, and it's nice to have that acknowledged.

Hmm. it seems that The Sentry's mindscape comprised of only Bob and the Void, while the heroic, confident Sentry was a compromise between the two.
Not sure how he got that interpretation from both the Sentry minis..but I suppose it could work....

I don't think he's saying that the Sentry persona was a compromise. There probably is a genuine part of Bob that envisions himself as a hero, and thus we have the Sentry. However, being addicted to power like Bob is means that the Sentry persona wasn't enough. Due to that, he would keep bringing more and more of the Void's personality into the fold so he could increase his powers, and thus the high he must be getting off of using them. This would explain why his powers have always been on an upward ramp. Also this probably meant that Bob was "hearing" more and more of the Void, which would explain his eventual worsening of choices. When Norman presented him with the ultimate high (that is, gave him more of the original serum), Bob jumped in head first. This caused him to push out the little bit of good he had and embrace his junky, evil side.
I think he'll be handled (at least partially) by a rousing "This is why we are heroes" speech by Captain America. This will make the Sentry persona reemerge in Bob, where upon he'll either do away with the Void (probably not for long, for plot's sake), or he'll kill himself after realizing what his addiction has done (killed his wife, killed gods, made him the ultimate villain, etc etc). Will he stay dead either way? Hugely doubtful.

I'm pretty excited to see Loki in #4. I hope that Thor gets to interact with him, but given how fast paced these last three issues have been I don't know that there will be time.

Thor will have "plenty" of words for Loki...Judging from the commentary. Do anybody else think Loki is going to get his "just desserts"? Originally Posted by Zach J.

I really hope that he's punished for what he's done to Asgard with Siege. It would also be kind of interesting to get Loki out of the way so that Thor could interact with some different villains for a while. Originally Posted by Vivica Kang09

Sounds like she bites the bucket next issue. Bendis said she has the best seat in the house. I think she is a little more complex than going evil. Originally Posted by Vivica Kang09

I can too but I don't think people who do complain are out of line in doing so because the event was only 4 issues long. I understand the last issue is double sized BUT unless Bendis or Coipel are just absolute perfectionists I don't see what the holdup is.

Im glad there going to address the fact the HAMMER ais part of the US military, and the president order them to be attacked by other parts of the military.
As far as ive read, HAMMER werent given new orders by Obama, so are following exisiting legitimate orders.
As such they are being killed by there own. If they had been given an order to stand down, but Osbourn loyalist kept going its a different issue.
As I say i dont think that happened? So I hope its addressed.
