SIEGE tie-in! As the Mighty Avengers clash with the Thunderbolts in the Siege of Asgard, surprises abound. What are everyone's true motivations, and when push comes to punch, where do their loyalties lie?

I have a feeling that these three issues will feel like something of a waste after all is said and done. It's really a no win situation for the reader.
