Maybe I'm just not into the X-Men, or maybe I'm disillusioned by Marvel's statements - about diversity in particular, by Marvel's Secret Empire stunt, or whatever. This also didn't do it for me, and I miss the old team, the old favorites, and this didn't rise about that.
Also, so bizarre to see the political art stripped out, even if I was sideyeing it when I'd heard about it.
I'm calling it and using this for my amnesia square. While it's only implied that they did something to Coulson and made him forget at the end, yup, that's the only way I'm seeing this happen right now.
I'm interested enough to keep on going in this series, though. I'm rather enjoying the twists and turns, and the focus on the series and integrating it into the Marvel Universe. It actually works quite well, to be honest, although I wasn't sure how it would pan out in the beginning.
There's banter that's reminiscent of the show, although it plays out more like it's in the comic book world and, in my opinion, brings together the best of these two worlds. Simmons, Fitz, May, they all fit in quite nicely although I didn't buy Fitz getting May to say yes to a date. (Still, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt: either Fitz, May, or perhaps both, may be compromised, since apparently Coulson already is...)
Fun ride, and a good introduction to the comics for someone who's only into MCU to boot!
15.1 - While working on his autobiography with Foggy and Kirsten, Matt tells the story of two early cases, one of a man he was sure was guilty, and another battling Diablo.
This is only okay: it's a retelling of an old idea, revamped as a Battleworld story. The art was very bizarre, not quite the original, and not quite up to the original's standards.
The storyline was okay, but didn't engage me as much as I'd hoped. I did quite enjoy seeing the characters in this new situation, however, so there was that.

Ackerman’s Field. It should be a peaceful place of Nature, to sit and enjoy the view, have a picnic or toss a Frisbee about. But no. What is it about this particular place and why does it affect some people and not others? Real or delusions? Who’s brave enough to find out?
Well, this isn’t creepy at all. <insert facetious font> I don’t read Stephen King. Ever. Or watch movies (except for the bits and pieces I’ve accidentally seen over the years) adapted from his books. Because heebie jeebies. But when I saw a graphic novel adapted from one of his short stories I thought to myself: “Self, this might be doable.” So I picked it up. The artwork is awesome. Very chilling. The story itself is eerie. I’m a bit confused by the ending, but overall this would be a decent addition to any horror aficionado’s repertoire. Especially one who likes graphic novels.
