  With the Decimation story arcs following up on House of M, the necessary shake up in status quo is bound to provoke some unexpected developments.

  So again, this title has made me fail in my job as a reviewer, as Im really not sure if its any good or not. I think the odd stylistic quirks may be deliberate, but even if so, Im not sure they work as intended, and the surreal and detached feel they give the comic as a whole does not, for me, make for a generally enjoyable read.
