I think this is going to be a great mini. I liked the psychology behind it...I do recognize most of these symptoms from first hand experience and studying. Very breathtaking.
The art is beautiful inside and out. The story is great and slow to take off...I don't know when in continuity this is but it seems to fit very well in the Thunderbolts mythos.
The only problem I saw in it was when security was told to watch out about Venom (Mac Gargan) that he talked someone to stab themself in the eye. I don't buy it...how could Gargan do that...I have never seen that before...Moonstone I could see doing that or Bullseye (well not anymore) but not Venom...that is just poor characterization.
Read it...it is very good.
