Laying on the Superhero Guilt Trip in Marvels Annotated #4

But if you think about it, aren't the people of the Marvel Universe right to mistrust superheroes? Not only are their battles constantly causing property damage and putting regular people in danger, but it seems like every other month a super-mega-crossover event shakes the Marvel Universe to its foundations, leaving nothing ever the same again.

Can you imagine how difficult life would be if the universe were shaken to its foundations every other month? Honestly, superheroes are more trouble than they're worth. Maybe that will be addressed in the bonus material?

Marvel's Annotated #4 hits stores on Wednesday.

Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
