Circling the team are shield agents under orders of a blond woman who says they cant leave any survivors.
The Good
Art and colors are top notch as was the story and the team dynamics. Many people can question why bendis chose this team but he clearly has a handle on everyone voice and what makes each character tick. That is a definite plus; another great thing was the continued nod to continuity. 
While other writers tend to retcon what doesn’t work for them, Bendis uses existing continuity to enhance his own story and that makes it a joy to read. The ending was a sweet cliffhanger that at the time had me begging for more.
The Bad
Fight scenes were just filler as the story was more about the impending conspiracy thus action junkies may be left under whelmed.
The Ugly
4.5/5
