Siege #4

You know, you never expect to have to draw something like a zombie Captain America attacking the President, but when you find yourself doing it, it just seems so right.

I love the way Siege ended, but isn't everybody being just a little cavalier about putting a guy in charge who's just shown up after being dead for a year? The other heroes trusting him is one thing - half of them have been there - but the government has no problem investing this much authority in a guy just because Bucky Barnes tells them he's the real Steve Rogers? And doing it within 24 hours, no less? The US government can't flush a toilet in 24 hours.

One thing that I am a little unclear on is Loki's sudden change of heart. Last I checked he'd wanted all this to happen, even as far along as the crashing of the city. What I'm assuming happened is that he wanted the fight to be serious enough that the Asgardians would leave Earth, but he never thought they might actually lose until the Void showed up - and that was a step too far. It's a likely scenario, I guess, but they could've made it a little clearer in lieu of all the "mischief" blather.
