This looks great. I'm loving the art.
I hope they have the same artists for all the issues. Very nice. Would have been great to get minis like this for sue back 25+ years ago.

Mattia De Iulis is doing both the art and coloring like he did for Jessica Jones. I think it's more to do with the preview itself, they always seem to be of lower quality when compared to the actual issue. I don't know why.
De Iulis posted an unlettered panel and it looks much cleaner when you compare it to the same panel in the preview:

I’d like to know what are Sue’s aims here? Is she a US spy working for the NSA, so trying to get defectors out for the US? Is she a pawn of the US Military? Does Sue want to do this work, or has she been forced? I never thought of Sue as being very political, in fact none of the Super heroes worked for military aims, although all of them worked for the military in one way or the other, for research. Spidey on the Gemini missions, Thor on surviving Nuclear fallout, Hulk on gamma research, Iron Man on weapons manufacture, the X-Men with the military, and the FF with the CIA, helping find the Mole Man breaking Nuclear reactors. But Spies? Never.
I don't think we can get a firm answer that can be maintained over time due to the shifting timeline. We can get a rough issue equivilance to when the stories happened, but doing this in the mid sixties when the original issues were published is far different than doing it in the early 21st century as the story here indicates. As cool as having a morality angle to this would be, in politics and espionage, sides change and your friends today are your foes tomorrow.
I completely forgot about this, thanks for bumping this thread
Reading List (Super behind but reading them nonetheless):
DC: Currently figuring that out
Marvel: Read above

Other: The Antagonist, Something is Killing the Children, Avatar: TLAB
Manga: My Hero Academia, MHA: Vigilanties, Soul Eater: the Perfect Edition, Berserk, Hunter X Hunter, Witch Hat Atelier, Kaiju No. 8
I'm looking forward to this. I've been a big fan of hers since forever.
Given the collapsed time line I would guess that Sue became more involved with SHIELD after the adventure that introduced Spider Woman, back in a Marvel Two in One, with the Thing. Compassionate and sincere as always, Sue probably checked in with Fury on the fate of Spider Woman, and she could have been offered a job/ given a mission. This would also have been, secretly, Sue's association with Sharon Carter, and Spider Woman eventually in the Sisters of Liberty which has been played up recently in Captain America.
It would be nice to see a follow up series showing Sue working missions with various other agents or more secret mission types. Who know? Maybe Sue could be the secretest Secret Avenger, an ultimate back-up ops person, with her power and skill set.

I really enjoyed it.
This was more of a set-up and introductory issue. It was mainly to give background on the character and give her the goal of saving her old partner. The future dilemma it sets up on whether she will break her morals and actually kill is an interesting one. I'm interested in seeing how it plays out.
