Hum, had not read teh solicit as had no intention of reading comic.
The only set-up in the actual series for anyone to have paid off Nitro, thus far - and we're pushing on a bit already, would be Agent Hill/SHIELD. It's clear, as far back as her early appearances in 'Breakout' in New Avengers, that SHIELD is up to bad business under her tenure and she was certainly quick enough to push Cap to breaking point herein. Also, comic writers are ace at making women in powerful positions well dodgy, see also: Amanda 'The Wall' Waller, Val Cooper, etc. So that could work, and also reinforce govt. critique angles, and be okay apart from the whole 'powerful lady = baddie' (which basically... what's Hill there for? To make SHIELD shits, as far as I can see,) bit.
I have now typed SHIELD four times, and this will be the last, as brain is entering shutdown. It just doesn't really work otherwise - I was really quite hacked off at the payoff in Robinson's 'Face the Face' Batman thing, which apparently heeds some three year-old DC mini for said. This is not 'ballsy' as one reviewer put it, but rather really quite annoying; there's lots of other good things about the arc, but if you're playing a mystery with no clues of any use, or - in this case - no real evidence in the main that in fact there is one, except perhaps to total devotees who've read all the exterior related media... it's like trying to guess the end of Taggart (not a great example, as I did like that, but still. Even then the villain would have appeared, however briefly, at some point. One time it was a bus conductor.) |
