I finished Marvel’s Siege recently, which admittedly is three years old. It deals with Norman Osborn’s siege of Asgard and his fall from leading H.A.M.M.E.R. I didn’t read any Dark Reign, so I didn’t see any of the comics that dealt with Osborn being the leader of H.A.M.M.E.R., but it was interesting to see him leading in Siege.

Osborn’s an interesting character, dealing with his own mental instabilities and struggles with the Green Goblin persona. Siege deals heavily with the Sentry who, with The Void, parallels Norman Osborn in many ways. The story makes me wonder about Osborn’s motives and whether there might be good in there, buried by crazy. More than that, it makes me extremely interested in The Sentry. I’ll have to go back and read his mini-series when I can find it.

I really enjoyed Siege despite not knowing some of his Avengers. Seeing Bullseye as Hawkeye was pretty cool too, although I suppose that wouldn’t have been new if I had been reading Dark Reign. After reading Osborn’s rise in The Secret Invasion, it was fitting to see his fall.
