The Good: The writing is pretty much on par with what I expect from Hickman. Definitely not great, but "good" is the perfect way to describe it. Some of the panel layout was really effective as well.

The Bad: I'm not a big fan of fictional history. I didn't like the setting of Watchmen and I don't like this setting. I'm all for a little bit of absurd, but

are a bit too much to handle all at once in a single issue. In addition the "twist" of the issue was a bit extreme and was done with the subtlety of a jackhammer.

The Ugly: Oh dear god the artwork is so bad in this book that it was physically painful for me to look at it. If I could review that issue of Secret Avengers again, I would probably compliment it on its amazing artwork now. It's as though the artist from Rugrats developed parkinsons and decided to go into comics. It's so bad on so many levels that I can barely even begin to put into words how offensive it is to me.

Final score: 3/10

The artwork is unforgivable.
