I'm not sure what I loved more: Black Widow making Hawkeye feel self-conscious about his package ("It's so tiny down there." "It's so tiny up here, too." "No you didn't.") or M.O.D.O.K. saving Maria Hill by sending in a lab rat outfitted with a hypodermic needle full of some sort of neutralizing formula to stop her opponent. The best part of the issue, though, is that the story makes sense. Sure, we don't know why the Fury was messing with the satellites or if it was in any way connected with the intruder who held Maria hostage. In fact, I'm still not 100 percent sure why the intruder was holding her hostage in the first place. But, Kot knows that this series isn't the type where he has to resolve all the issues on the table; he just has to resolve them to the extent that the team can prevent the current crisis in a way that makes sense (and fits with their characters), re-group, and move onto the next crisis. If he can keep that clarity from issue to issue, we're in good shape.
*** (three of five stars)
