@ Pop Syndicate-- War Of Kings (hardcover)

"In War of Kings, Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, Marvel’s current space-tale architects, muddy up the conflict as the Shi’ar and the Kree, led by the Inhumans, face off over empire boundaries and which race should rule the heavens.  The battles over invasion in Annihilation has been replaced by the politics of borders in War of Kings and that’s just not as much fun."

I don't know whether I was too harsh or too easy on this book with this review.  The main part of the Shi'ar/Kree was was just long and drawn out.  It was more of a war drama than a war story, if that makes any sense.  I can't believe that my favorite part of this book was the Darkhawk story.  Up until a few weeks ago when my son pulled a Darkhawk book out of a 25 cent box, I don't think I had ever bought or read a Darkhawk story.  With the few issues that Abnett and Lanning had, they gave the character a decent background and make him at least an interesting character.
