This issue was decent pretty much the entire issue is just laying a foundation for things to come in the relaunch. Nick Spencer introduces Quicksilver as who we assume will be the status quo villain in the new upcoming X-Men series but he does have a cool little twist he added, making it seem like scarlet witch may be pulling the strings overall (which you may have already saw from the cover). Art was in spencer's story was sub-par in my opinion. Hickman's story I thought was the stronger part of the issue essentially having nick fury stepping back into his role as director of SHIELD. This got me excited because you really get the sense that Hickman has an amazing feel for these characters and how they would react in different situations (especially nick fury). Art for hickman's story was meh. So overall if you like foundation building issues with lots of intricate dialogue then this would be a solid pick for you. Is it completely necessary before starting the relaunch probably not but it's a great taste of how hickman is going to write some of these characters.
