My Two Cents
I think they want you to hate the Korbinites. I really, really think they do.

Is it wrong for me to say that after reading this, I had a morbid grin on my face when re-reading the destruction of the Korbinites in 'Stormbreaker' and thinking that karmic justice was served? 'Cause after reading this issue, it pretty much pseudo-cemeted my loathing for those ungrateful little cockroaches. I know, I know the whole story behind Bill and his people, but... come ON! It's just... frustrating. I honestly wonder why Bill puts up with them when they treat him like total garbage.

Okay, so he shouldn't be running around all over the place, but I'm REALLY getting off-tangent here.

On a more positive note, Sif is tres awesome in her own right here. I really like how she stood up for Bill... really goes to show you how much she cares about him, eh? My only quip about her is that she goes through more hairstyle and costume changes than Barbie does, but her personality makes up for it.

But don't worry, good ol' Beta Ray will be back... 20-some issues from now.
