Can you say teaser comic? In years past, comics like this may have been broken down into it's subcomponents (stories of Nick Fury, Starman, Nova , Loki , Ant-man, and Cable) and given away free, but in today's economy we get them compiled and charged a price. Still, the quality is quite high, and there wasn't a tale (even if a couple are just preludes) in here I didn't enjoy, though there were a couple (Starman and Ant-man) that wasn't obviously a stand-only, or whose ending didn't jive with the emotional set-up. Still, I give this one high marks, though the price may hinder more than a few folks.
