After reading this issue I'm glad Orson Scott Card was able to accelerate the plot while keeping us readers on our toes. With all the mystery and double crossing going on I can only imagine what the final issue is going to be like. My only gripe is there's a little too much comedy for something that's supposed to be so serious. Other than that, this is one hell of well crafted issue, and well worth your money.

After a slow start, this issue picked up its pace near the end and really drove the story forward. I feel that there were a some wasted pages; the few comic relief moments didn't do much for me. But, overall this issue is setting up for either one hell of a big conclusion. I'm eager to see how they wrap this up.

The story's strong in this debut issue I really liked it. Because there's not a lot of random chatter, Card is free to give the characters more personality. The art and colors are really done well and I can't wait to see how the rest of this series plays out. Definitely worth a look in my book.

This series is a blast to read! There's so much plot and double crossing going on and it keeps you wondering what'll happen next. You have the nuke plans in place, a government conspiracy, and the conspirator of the Stark Industries attack! What's not to like? Issue #3 is gonna be awesome.
