Good Bye Janet Van Dyne

If ever there was a mainstream character that I didn't really care about, it was the Wasp. The last time I had any feeling for this character was when Yellowjacket was being court-martialled for beating her. That being said, this issue really moved me. Bendis was a perfect fit for writing the funeral of Janet Van Dyne. The mood was sombre and I really felt the characters' grief. And yet another brief but great appearance by Thor. This may also have been the first issue were I believed Norman Osborn's authority. His threats were very real. This issue leaves no question in my mind that I will be collecting Dark Avengers.
