Oh no. Storm featured in promotional art with the SHIELD logo. Commence doom-saying.

[Stormcrow]

Ugh, are those the Agents of SHIELD guys? As if Coulson and black Nick Fury weren't shoehorned enough, now we gotta deal with Mary Sue Skye?

[Punisher007]

Yes, and of course by "mary sue" you actually mean " a character that I don't like." Seriously, you shouldn't throw out tired buzz words when you clearly have no idea what they actually mean. Oh and "shoehorned," Black Nick Fury maybe. But Coulson, yeah no.

That is actually her name. Which happens to fit her in the sense that she's an idealized character, the supposedly super smart girl with a mysterious tragic past that we're meant to sympathize with.

Rucka off Cyclops already! BOOOOO!!!

It's meant to be artists that leave after just a few issues

Except a Mary Sue character is an idealized self-insert by a writer. Those traits you list may apply to many Mary Sue characters but they are not exclusive to them.

These SDCC book announcements have really been underwhelming, I hope the NYCC announcements are better. I'll only be adding the Angela book to my pulls.

[TOTALITY]

Wow, I know a lot of internet people are going to complain about this SHIELD comic, but as someone who has a fondness for those TV characters disproportionate to the quality of their show and wishes they were consistently written well, HEY COOL, now Mark Waid is writing them! Maybe the show can take cues from this eventually... now give me a Waid/Davis Simmons!

She is a Mary Sue Its her name and also she really is on. I mean she is so good she hacked into Sheild from offsite even stark had to be on a helicarrier to do that

"oh no! Someone in a comic book did something unbelievable!"

Seriously, when I see a complaint like this, I just start laughing. xD

No the point is I am suppose to believe she is better then Tony Stark with computers that is a bridge too far.

There is a sub-definition of Mary-sue. "A minority character who I don't like". that applies to Skye

[JaggedFel]

BS. U can hate a character without being racist or sexist. Besides she is pretty darn white passing.

Not to mention I think Ward is worse then Skye and have said so multiple times. Usually I refer to him as a cardboard cutout.
