This issue is really good stuff. The Initiative is now run by Taskmaster and the Hood who are behaving in a typically ruthless manner, playing mind games on the villains they are leading. Part of the old Initiative, loosely run by Tigra, Justice, and Night Thrasher, have broken away, and are trying to undermine Osborn and the current Initiative. The renegades have become something like the New Avengers, but so what? There’s room in the Marvel U. for both teams, and I think it would be cool if they actually teamed up at some point. The characterization for Trauma, Penance, Rage and Night Thrasher is involving. I love that Christos Gage is picking up on plot points from other Marvel comics and expanding upon them in this title. For instance, he is going to deal with what happened to prison 42 in “Guardians of the Galaxy” and the humiliation meted out to Tigra by the Hood back in what I think was “New Avengers.” Tigra gets some payback that is very satisfying to the reader in this issue. Gage is a real comic book fan who wants to build upon what other creators have done, and I think this tendency makes his stories richer and more involving. The pencils by Sandoval are clean and easy to follow. I haven’t counted the number of words in this issue, but the script seems longer than is usual for a comic book. Sandoval makes the action easy to understand despite the many large word balloons. The only odd aspect of the art is that Tigra’s hands look more like paws than they have in the past.
Art: 4 - Very Good
