So much of this series is tied up in hoping that I, as a reader, cares about the Watcher being killed, about whatever new retcons the writers have thought up, and about Nick Fury as the man on the wall. As stories, all of those can be great, but as concepts, they’re just ideas on the page that excite me as much as any random creator interview, which is not a lot. Watching as the characters run around over the paper-thin surface of this ‘story,’ they become increasingly less motivated by anything internal and just seem like cogs.
