I wouldn't go so far as 'awful' - it had its moments, it just felt too long in coming and too questionable in some of its choices. The storytelling narration I didn't mind, for instance. Bendis doesn't do it as well as Morrison or Moore but hey, who does? And it's a good way of providing a certain gloss of legend, even if in this case the story didn't really merit that. The two non-Bendis tie-ins to the Invasion which I read were Mike Carey doing Skrulls vs X-Men in San Francisco, and Paul Cornell on the British front. And I think part of the reason I liked those books more was just that they were half the length!
