The art doesn't blow me away, but it's not bad by any means. The story it's self is a nice one and done setting up a handful of potential plots and sub plots, always good for a first issue. It's funny, it's got pretty good pacing, and some a solid foundation of characterization for major players. A fun issue, and I will be back. (Also in case you didn't read the solicit 2099 isn't the setting, asmore

I didn't enjoy this issue as much as I usually enjoy this series. It's not bad, but it's missing some of the charm with all the set up. Still whats set up here promises to be fun.
• The New Warriors are pulled into INHUMANITY as their own resident Inhuman, Haechi, is targeted by two different tribes of Inhumans.
• Who are Mister Whiskers and Jake Waffles? Whose side are they on, good or evil? What does Jake Waffles possess that Speedball wants so badly?

• Plus: Spidey teams up with a real hero, fireman Pedro Olivera... who just happens to be the current boyfriend to one Mary Jane Watson.
• And... more on you-k...
I'm truely saddened by this books cancellation coming in September. But this issue proves we've still got some turns left before it's over.
DEATH LOCKET'S FIELD TRIP = KILL CAPTAIN AMERICA!
• A done-in-one focus on Death Locket: Half-girl, half-cyborg...all assassin!
• What will Death Locket do: blow her cover-and seal her doom-by refusing to shoot Cap...or save her life by killing a Living Legend?
• How does a young girl from Jersey City become the next biggest super hero?
• Kamala has no idea either. But she's comin' for you, New York.
The issue felt rushed, but there is a lot of ground to cover. And the ground covered seems to be heading to interesting places.

This series is always fun. The art had some really wonky angles that were jarring, but was generally good. A lot happens in the issue, but nothing seems rushed, and the issue leaves me wanting to know where this is all going.
• She-Hulk & Hellcat must uncover the secrets of the Blue File - a conspiracy that touches the entire Marvel Universe!
• This new mystery brings us She-Hulk's most terrifying role ever: DEFENDANT!
• Charles Soule (THUNDERBOLTS) and Ron Wemberly (MIGHTY AVENGERS) continue the smash hit of All-New Mar...
Not a bad book, and worth a look. But the whole Summer's brothers bit was bizarre, and so far seems a really poor plot choice in my opinion.
• UNCANNY X-MEN, IRON MAN & NOVA CROSS OVER!
• Cyclops is kidnapped, but by who?!
• But what force could bring the Children of the Atom, the Armored Avenger and the Human Rocket together!
• Racing across the globe to save his nearest and dearest from the fate he just escaped, Nightcrawler makes a grim discovery: Could it be his return that set these events in motion in the first place?
This isn't so much the end of the first story arch as it is the foundation for the status quo of the series. We finally start living up to the name Avengers Undercover. A lot of very interesting pieces are put into play that can go all sorts of ways.

I never much cared for Falcon, and only a little more now, but this issue made good use of him. Some interesting developments this issue, with a lot of potential. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of the Ascendants.

JENNIFER WALTERS IS...THE SHE-HULK! A stalwart Avenger, valued member of the FF, savior of the world on more than one occasion, she's also a killer attorney with a pile of degrees and professional respect.

I really would have liked to seen more of 48 years later, but we learn absolutely nothing about it. The story does move forward though, not really clear what it's motion forward actually means as it's all cryptic future talk. But it's early in the story line, nothing wrong with unanswered questions.
This is a good series, and there is a lot of potential. It's a little slow as Soule puts the pieces on the board, but it looks to be building to a lot of political machinations alongside some standard super hero brawls. Unfortunately all of the delays makes the slow burn feel much slower. Hopefully once Stegman comes aboard we'll be on a faster release schedule. I love Madureira's art, but not enomore
• New Inhumans are transformed every day as the Terrigen Mist spreads around the world.
