Damnation is a corner event. What's that? It's a smaller event, doesn't alter major effects in the whole universe, but big enough that might be a couple of crossovers. I just made that up but that's what this feels like.

Okay so what's up? After a bunch of people died, and a whole city of Vegas was destroyed, Doctor Strange didn't want that shit to stand. So what's he do? Well brings back that motherfucking city. And as one of the Avengers says "You know you can't do that without a sacrifice" out comes the door of hell. Mephisto says "Strange, welcome to Damnation" and boom, he gets sucked in to face the demon. However, he ain't going alone on this adventure. We got Iron Fist, Blade, Ghost rider, and more to come to fight the demon of hell!

Good: The art, while changing due to different series, is always pretty solid. I thought the damnation issues and Strange issues were pretty great. Nick Spencer and Donny Cates make a solid team with a super fun storyline and believable dialog. I also thought Ghost Dog was the motherfuckin shiiiiit.

Bad: It's overstuffed, as most events, or mini-events are. The issues giving focus to Iron Fist or even Scarlet Spider aren't very fun or interesting. This is the down effect to not caring too much about their individual series and then pushing them into the main storyline here. Also, the pacing is a little sluggish at points.

So this event was a fun one. Sure it had issues, like any, but I enjoyed the core moments and some great "oh shit moments" with some hilarious dialog. Donny and team did a solid event, a 3 out of 5.
