The art is great. The story had me half-groaning, half-S_D-esque ANGRY at the end (which surprised me!)
I might start reading S_D more regularly when JMS
Wonder Woman starts up. Just to smirk.
That's ugly, isn't it?

No, where would I be looking for that?
That'd be in
Thunderbolts #139-40.
It's by Parker so the Agents are wonderfully themselves, with one great "oh dear, oh dear" moment. But it's mostly a story of the boring-except-for-Ghost current Thunderbolts so don't get too excited. Even if it does continue that idea you laid out of how well Atlas fits into the 'Dark Reign' concept.

THAT I can see. Hellcat did that for me. Immonen writes in such a way that she deliberately assumes you UNDERSTAND things that other writers would explicitly STATE.
I always find that refreshing, because I think there's very few of us left who need the STATEMENT as anything other than a comfort blanket.
What I find really interesting about her is the way she structures dialogue so as to represent multiple overlapping conversations. It's something you'd struggle to do in a novel and would need the best sound editing evar to do on film, but she makes look very easy in comics.
Stylistically, I really think she's quite unique...and I think I held back on talking about the
Hellcat trade because I didn't want to get my response to that uniqueness mixed up with overpraise. So I can't find it anywhere in my heart to blame Oni for responding strongly to
Pixie.

You know, I'm not really sure if you would or not. It's sort of a Mean Girls in the Marvel U thing, but for some reason I felt rather fond of it when I was done. It doesn't have the whistful feel of SM
heart MJ, and it has a very unfortunate title, but I'll definitely be picking up the next issue.
I think I might hang on till trade then and see what everyone's saying.
