I didn't even particularly like the art, the story was as bland as can be. I'm thinking Cold War, espionage, some nice stylization seems like the sort of thing I can buy into, then it's just a quick and dirty action piece with totally bland art.
I dunno what it is about Marvel, but every time I decide to make a plunge on one of their books it ends up just boring me. I mean, even a total bomb of a Green Lantern issue -- rushed art, pock-marked story, C-movie dialogue -- can be more entertaining than some of the corporate blandness of Marvel. Waidevil stays killing it and I've enjoyed the irreverence of Fraction's FF, but those are probably the last two Marvel titles that interested me in a LOOOOONG time...
