This book would be much better if everything wasn’t said in the most convoluted way possible.
A character gets tossed to death circa Hulk’s ‘puny God’ scene in the Avengers (and maybe eaten) and it is described as:
“Had Humgudgeon taken a little less wine, or spent a longer time in exercise, there might have been a chance for him, but since his habits preclude an heroic battle or even ignominious flight, he is victim to a fate he has meted out to others, coming as close as possible to gaining some sort of poetic justice.”
