Well, I was not expecting that. After spending 6 issues setting up a team, Dan Jurgens promptly blows them up, kills one team member (and the 2 civilian handlers) and severely injures 2 others. It’s certainly a ballsy thing to do and I very much enjoyed this issue, I just hope it doesn’t back-fire on Jurgens. I’ve already seen a bit of anger online at the death of Rocket Red, so the book probably needs to try extra hard to make sure it doesn’t lose any readers. I wonder where the JLI are going from here? Will Batwing join the team? His appearance at the end was very cool. This was a shock of an issue, but we’ll have to wait a few more issues for the events to reverberate before we can tell whether or not Jurgens has done something brilliant… or something terrible here.
