    Ok..this was a pretty good issue.I actually like this team.It's a good an diverse roster of characters.I rather enjoyed the fighting in the comic..the Agents work very well as a team.I cannot say their is anyone on this team I don't like..even Gorrilla-Man (and I am usually opposed to animal characters..especially apes).I still feel like I didn't get enough from the first issue.I don't know where it's going..what's in store for issue two.The Agents seem to be making some type of deal with Osborn that he is actually interested in.Neither of them trust each other so I am banking on betreyal.The Agents seem to have their own Agenda though.They are one of the only parties in Marvel right now that aren't really good or bad..just in the middle.I thought it was Hilarious that Man Mountain Marko was eaten by Lao..the Dragon in which Jimmy Woo had been taken advice from,and what made it more funny was that he was warned before hand that if he veered off the course..his safety couldn't be guaranteed.
    There was an instance in the comic where Venus manipulated Sentry to get her to Osborn..which brings me to the point..Sentry is so easily manipulated.The fact he is working for Osborn itself proves that.Not that the Goddess,Venus couldn't have manipulated any man but Sentry is extra accepting of things like this.The end of the book brings you too the past where the Agents teamed up with Wolverine against the Brood..and the fight was pretty lame but the dialouge and the team work was there.The art was pretty bad too.I don't bother to look at the artists name if I don't know it and he's terrible.

    Overall the comic was great.The art in the beggining of the comics was great but when they went off into the past it kind of fell off.There wasn't much action but it's the first issue and I expected that but this team shows promise.I like the roster..it's well rounded and they seem to be a different sort of team to what we are used to seeing so..I can't wait until the next issue.I just hope the art remains consistent and I am right about this being a good team.I hope the comic doesn't fall of and get really boring.
