Feb 16, 2004An interesting first step as the book opens with an intense little moment that leaves a major character in the Marvel Universe in a bad way, and we then jump back a year into the past where we see Nick Fury and his S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives have stumbled across a fairly curious situation that becomes quite unsettling the more they look at it. This issue asks the question of how can the high tech villains in the Marvel Universe can be wearing battle armor that would cost close to a million dollars to design, build and maintain, when their biggest scores from their bank jobs average in the tens of thousands?

Hopefully with the advantage of a more mature storyline and intended readership this element will remain centre stage, paving the way for an outstanding fusion of good writing and great art.

This suspense is making this story more interesting. It wouldn't be that great if it was told in the chronological order. + art is awesome. Gab is one of the best artists of modern era. Bendis here is quite nice too. You know, that this guy writes either bullshit or masterpieces. And that's pretty much more like a masterpiece to me. Yeah, for the first issue of run that was awesome. Can't imagine it being better, then it's 10. Of course, there wasn't much action, but this limited series will show you much action later. P.S. I hate politics. Diplomacy sucks. Also, this story arc was a more
