I've read overly sentimental comic books and that was far from overly sentimental. It was a pretty damn good balance and coming right after NWTD was a perfect spot for it, especially with the almost weekly scheduling, where it didn't interrupt anything.

The last minute revelation about his physical state was obviously designed for a shock emotional reaction, something which adds in to overly sentimental for me. My copy of this issue is across the country from me at the moment, so I can't really articulate my thoughts on it too well, but I just really didn't enjoy it as I read it. I found NWTD and all of the following issues to be much more interesting. Well, the Hammerhead story had some absolutely hideous writing for the gangsters, but Hammerhead came across well.

Yeah but the difference is that when I tried to read Scalped it left kind of a bad taste in my mouth and I didn't really care what happened to any of the characters.
Tom:
Anyone read Emperor Vulcan? I really can't wait to get a chance to read the War of Kings storyline.

I read it Tom. It was better than I expected and definitely a step up from Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire and Deadly Genesis.
If you plan on checking out War of Kings, keep an eye out for Kingbreaker, which starts Wednesday. You might also want to catch up on Annihilation, Annihilation: Conquest and Secret Invasion: Inhumans, all of which lead up to War of Kings in their own way (Particularly SI: Inhumans).
