Character of the Year
December 30, 20092009 was a year of tragedies, in real life and in the mythos of escape we call comic books. And out of those fictional tragedies emerged a team that was interesting, they had their faces drawn on almost every major book from that publisher. And the leader of that team was a man who was so intriguing, I was glued to his every action and eagerly awaited every major consequence.
I present to you the Comicology Character of 2009 - NORMAN OSBORN!
His emergence from being a burried Spider-Man villain to the main big baddie of MU really came from way out far left field. As Secret Invasion was ending, rumors were swirling about and the solicits did show that Normie was at the top of the food chain, but it was just hard to believe. I chose to be pessimistic and be pleasantly surprised if things turned out okay. I’m happy it turned out the way it turned out. Thank you, Mr. Bendis.
