This continues to be a neat book. I'm kind of wondering how they're going to be able to put this same upbeat feeling into the Wolverine: First Class title though. I guess we'll have to wait and see. This issue was an all girl issue. Well . . except for Xavier popping in to their heads here and there. This one was about Black Widow, Marvel Girl and the Scarlet Witch. Jean and Wanda have recently become friends. Well . . recently . . back then. Times kind of . . relative . . I guess. Anyways, they've become friends and are hanging our more. But Wanda has also come to the attention of SHIELD. Fury has sent the Black Widow in to see if they might be able to recruit her as an operative. Natasha is sneaky, kind of, in the way that she apprehends her . . which sends Jean in to instant panic mode. Whenever a fellow mutant is abducted, they always think, and expect, the worst. It turns out the Natasha really just wanted to talk to her, but while on route she was called to a possible incident. It turns out SHIELD's suspicions were right. HYDRA tries to go after this new test Sub. Luckily, Black Widow, Dum-Dum Dugan and Wanda are present. But by the time all hell breaks out, Jean shows up with Warren. Of course they expect the worst, and Jean and Wanda actually help SHIELD gain control of the situation. Finally Natasha has a chance to explain herself, but Wanda decides that she more at home with her fellow mutants. "I'm more like them than an espionage agent. They do not lie to me." Jeff Parker is still writing this book, so it continues to have the same kind of feel to it. Much more upbeat than the regular titles. Unfortunately Roger Cruz only does the first and the last page of this issue. Julia Bax fills in all the rest. It was . . ok. It just would've been nice to have Roger on the whole thing. Overall though I do enjoy this series. It's nice seeing these characters in a different context.
