Found it. Proof that SHIELD is not as lame as Maria Hill says it is.

You can't read a Chris Claremont X-Men in 5 minutes. It's always very wordy.

For real though, we are in the same camp. The writing has really dipped in terms of content. It makes me think the value of these things isn't really worth what you pay for in a sense that what could have costed you 35 cents 40 years ago now costs you about $12-24 nowadays.

Comics are too expensive. Which is why I don't buy 3.99 titles and try to support 2.99.

I picked this one up for the Simonsen art, and I guess I'm in for the whole arc because that was a lot of fun.

This is a solid book.

Only behind Hawkeye in terms of pure fun.

I find that ignoring Maria Hill altogether just makes Marvel comics better. :smt102

Agreed on the edit, and the spoiler. That last page was just amazing.

I think she was hoping he'd wreck the thing.

So that Chinese thing was never really explained in a compelling way. This two-parter is the weakest story so far.

Saving the Simonson issues. They look amazing. Especially the Thor panels!

So you like ignoring women, eh?

Nope, just poorly written characters who rarely contribute anything interesting to the universe they exist in. Maria Hill is simply a terrible character.
