After a languid first month, Original Sin finally kicked into gear this month with its third issue. If you want to grab readers’ attention in a Marvel event, having Bucky Barnes do a heel turn and dismember Nick Fury is one way to do it. But as shocking and significant as that twist was, most readers are probably trained by this point to be skeptical of any twist that comes so early in a story. Original Sin is nothing if not a murder mystery. And in murder mysteries, nothing is what it seems. That’s pretty much the theme of Original Sin #4. Aaron turns the story on its head in some ways, and even if the pacing slows down again, the overall sense of unpredictability to this conflict keeps the interest level high.
