Agent May and Mockingbird, together against a band of super-powered monstrosities whose souls must be found and returned to them if S.H.I.E.L.D. is to survive!
Mark Waid (born March 21, 1962 in Hueytown, Alabama) is an American comic book writer. He is best known for his eight-year run as writer of the DC Comics' title The Flash, as well as his scripting of the limited series Kingdom Come and Superman: Birthright, and his work on Marvel Comics' Captain America.
Coulson, Bobbi, and May try to find out who is surgically altering teens to appear like mutants and why.
Some things are hot button issues for some people and not others. May, as usual, isn't overly emotional about the case she's on while Bobbi gets increasingly upset about the idea that someone is basically experimenting on teens. I'm with Bobbi on this one, any story where youth are being handled so horribly gets to me. This storyline is one I could find myself becoming very angry about, but the nature of the SHIELD series so far is that each issue stands alone so I didn't have enough time to work up real rage.
The depiction of the female stars in this one seemed a bit gratuitous, but this issue had some welcome racial diversity and investigated some poignant topics.
