This looks so awesome I just nearly shat myself.

Wonder how Planet X will affect/be affected by this. Set sail for boners!

I've just read the collected edition of this. Beautiful artwork. The first couple of chapters are quite suspensful and I like that we don't see most of the actual operation in Latveria. I also would have thought that Spiderman is not the sort of person you take on a secret mission like this, he's the sort of person you take only because Marvel doesn't believe you can have too much Spiderman. The ending was a bit off, after all that happens everyone just packs up and goes home? I presume Bendis wrote this to lead into Civil War (which I haven't read any of), but a bit more of a proper ending would have been nice.

And why they didn't use this as an excuse to kill Nick Fury off I don't know. It's not like the guy can sustain his own series any more. But lovely, lovely painted artwork. We don't see enough of the Marvel universe in dark colours.

It doesn't lead into Civil War so much as it leads into New Avengers and Bendis' original idea for this year's crossover: the Marvel Universe vs. SHIELD. That eventually mutated into Civil War.
