By: Jonathan Hickman (writer), Dustin Weaver (artist), Sonia Oback (colorist) The Story: Genius white men…and other sorry excuses for the state of the world!

The Review: The first volume of S.H.I.E.L.D. came with a lot of hype and critical acclaim, which was mostly deserved, but somehow lost steam along the way.  [...]
