I'll keep it short and simple: I am debating whether to drop this or not.

On one hand, Ellis is gone and to me that is a bad thing. But on the other hand this was a nice SI tie in that was pretty entertaining. Heck I've tried to stop picking up Tie-Ins but it seems like no matter where I go there's just tie-ins. While reading this it still bugs me this isnt Ellis, I mean I know the new guy is trying but it doesnt really pick up my interest. There's a lot of backstabbing and good dark humor thrown in, but it doesnt feel the same. Although Venom and Osbourne are still written well here, heck that anit hard cause Slott did a good job with the team on BND.

Overall I'll probably pick up the next issue and see where this will take me. But one should watch out on dressing up as Spider-Man as the Skrulls did here.....Not really a good idea when a guy goes bat-shit crazy whenever that name is mentioned. (good last page is what I'm saying here).
