Kurt Busiek, Marvels (Marvel, 2003)
So while all those big superhero battles were going on, what was the rest of the population thinking? Kurt Busiek gives us one answer to that question in Marvels, a story that touches on a large number of the stories battles in the Marvel universe, giving them to us from the perspective of a newspaper photographer-- not a superhero himself, just one of the guys on the street. We get to see the ambivalence of the common folks towards superheroes, which is pretty unusual for the genre (at least in the pre-Watchmen days); that is, of course, the point. If you ever wondered what happened to all the people inside when a big superhero battle took out an office building, this is definitely one to check out. ****
