Brian Wood wrote what he was hired to write but expressed interest in doing more with the X-Men. I'd love to see it happen.

Anyway, this preview really is tremendous. Once again, Hickman has an art team who really highlight the epic tone and scope of his work. It's very SHIELD. I love it and can't wait for more.

Still not sure if I'm gonna give the monthlies a try...but this statement is about as close to what I've been thinking as anything else...

The first two pages just have a great feel to them...
