Today at ComicsAlliance, Laura Hudson, David Uzumeri, Chris Murphy, the newlywed Caleb Goellner and I sit down for a roundtable review of Jonathan Hickman, Dustin Weaver and Christina Strain’s SHIELD #1!
There are a ton of spoilers in the review–the comic hooked us so bad that we ended up trying to figure things out and make connections in that fun, overanalytical comics fan way–so my recommendation is this: If you’re planning on reading SHIELD #1, go ahead and get the issue, then read the roundtable after. If you’re not planning on reading SHIELD #1, then you need to change your plans and get on that, because it’s awesome.
This is our second Roundtable Review (the first being last week’s look at X-Men: Second Coming) and reader response seems to have been pretty positive, which is nice because these are fun to do and usually end with us coming away with stuff that we wouldn’t have thought of on our own. So if you like it and you’d like to see more, leave a comment over there and let us know what you took away from the issue.

That book was everything I love about comics, and then Stark and Richards show up on the Ceiling and my grin grew three sizes
I totally became the kind of internet prick I normally hate over at the alliance site these last two days… sorry Chris. Is there a way or removing those posts?
I’d recommend rereading the Nightly News bits from Secret Warriors

@Earloftheercs to be fair, that guy tommyhood was being an internet prick first. just by throwing in that “snore” comment, i dunno, he really annoyed me. he was unfairly prejudging the material based on a couple of casual (almost unrelated) comments about FC. i saw him yesterday and i came back today to start an argument but you had already taken care of it haha
in short. SHIELD was awesome. my friend who i immediately handed the book off to thought it was awesome. anyone else i give it to will probably think its awesome.
Well, thanks redion. I still feel a bit disappointed with myself at giving such an bitchy response to a dude I don’t know, but Im glad Im not alone in my initial emotional reaction (to a bloke who still doesn’t seam to understand what was rude about his original comment). And your final point is dead-on; best if we all focus on, and celebrate, the awesome instead.
