Questions Based On The First Panel Of One Of This Week's Comics Part II

From the first panel of the lead story in this week's I Am An Avenger #2:


OK, so that's the first two panels. Sue me.

Anyway, the net result of Siege is just one military killed in action? Just one??

Siege was supposed to be the be-all-end-all of badass events; all-out war between the forces of Asgard and the "real" Avengers and Norman Osborn's dark crew of pumped up evil super-villains and the U.S. military being sent in to collect Osborn; an entire mystic continent falls on top of Oklahoma; the actual and literally Angel Of Death comes out and starts whooping people; the Helicarrier is smashed full force into someone on the ground...

And after all that, the ONLY casualty is one guy Daken killed while sneaking away in the aftermath? Seriously, that's it?? No one was killed during the actually 5-way battle/wrath of god/crashing spaceships/collapsing sky islands?!?!?!

I guess it wasn't such a deadly event after all, huh?

By the way, after the guy's widow ripped into Steve Rogers, I was almost expecting him to start walking across America...guess we lucked out this time. Even better, she didn't rip him for not having a MySpace account or not watching American Idol...
