What the hell even was this book. This might be some of Bendis' worst writing in recent years. It reminds me of some of his early work in—like you had to be in his head to actually follow the dialog and plot rather than, you know, read the comic.

The art was solid until it wasn't. So much color and layout experimentation worked and then didn't. It was really inconsistent. A lot of the lettering / captions were lost to the background or we're completely unnecessary.
