Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Volume 2: Under New Management by
2.0
Given that volume 2 doubles down on the weird TV/comic mashup that dragged volume 1 down, I actually thought that this was a more coherent story. This is particularly true given that we have elements that have appeared in the series, such as Coulson being on the run, and relying on his former teammates to help him uncover a sticky truth.
What works less well is the inclusion of a few out of left field elements, like making Elektra the new head of the team, or making Simmons a Deathlok. Neither elements are bad per say, they just don't fit very well.
All this comes to a screeching halt as the series was cancelled after 10 issues, and with the first volume using up 6 issues, then this volume came up a little short. Their solution was to add an extra comic from something with no real connection to what we have seen before. It's actually a pretty good story, but it is out o place here.
