Um, did I miss something?  The promos for Mighty Avengers #20 promised two things: a Thor guest appearance and a surprise ending that no one would see coming.   Thor appeared, that’s true.  It was a good guest shot, too.  He showed up at The Wasp’s funeral and gave a nice eulogy of sorts.  Then he hauled Hank Pym off for a private time of mourning, away from the media circus that her funeral had become.

The surprise?  Honestly, I don’t know what it was.  This isn’t like the surprise at the end of Batman 680 which wasn’t very surprising, but at least I knew that revelation that Jezebel Jett was really the Black Glove was the surprise.  Here?  I honestly don’t know.  That Hank Pym was angry with Tony Stark?  That he chastised him at the funeral?  Hawkeye yelling at Norman Osborn?  Osborn smiling a little?  This has to be the biggest oversell I can ever remember in comics promotion.

Ranting aside, it wasn’t a bad issue.  Not at all.  But you can’t promise something that big and deliver absolutely nothing without disappointing some fans.  Fans with blogs; I’m just saying.
