Honestly, going back to this series is a trip. It proved one thing to me, that Bendis wasn't always at the level that he's at currently, and we didn't just grow tired of his tropes. He's simply not nearly as good at it as he used to be! This is a great first issue though. It really takes its time to establish this new, modern world and you really begin to connect with these characters. And yet the slower pace doesn't feel like a slog. It all flows naturally. And the art? Bagley is great as always. This issue is teeming with potential, and we all know where it goes from here.
