If they're doing their job you won't see them......
I Don’t miss this blurb hogging up so much real estate in many of my comics though..,
* Strategic Homeland Intervention

Shield is fine. USAvengers Vol. 2 is better. Sunspot doesn't need to be the 8th member of an X-Men team when he can lead the Avengers.
That was a surprise. I have the Marvel Masterworks Edition of Strange Tales that has this arc. I recall discussing this a while back because you have to figure out at what point Doom replaced the real Yellow Claw with Doom's robot double. I think everyone had a different take on that. And Doom replaced a few more characters with robots but I don't recall if there was a complete list. Perhaps Jimmy Woo and the Yellow Claw's daughter were also replaced.

I want the Hickman/Weaver SHIELD back also. I've said that having OG Nick Fury advance to being with Da Vinci and that crew would be a much better direction for him than having him be a cosmic level Watcher. The idea of SHIELD having developed from that historic group to a modern espionage group with shadowy leadership fits very well with lots of room for story details to grow and develop.
I’ll don the mask and wear the cape
If I am super, how can I wait?
Yeah, I was hoping that Ewing would do more with the "Citizen X" thing (see my avatar), but instead 'Berto was dragged back to his New Mutants portrayal by Hickman and lost that edge. While Ewing has made him a part of X-MEN: RED, it's basically a Storm book, so he hasn't had much chance to shine.
I miss heroes being divorced from the government and SHIELD were the perfect foils for that. I think the only one who technically worked for the government was Cap, but after Civil War everything kinda went haywire.
The Marvel Universe feels too much like the Ultimates where the government and the heroes are buddy buddy, I want them back to vigilante status.
I think the only one that still get's harangued by the cops is Spidey
The new Secret Invasion has started. And it is the perfect case of why we need S.H.I.E.L.D. back, led by Maria Hill. The way she detects and outsmarts that Skrull and captures a lot of others, let's all stand up and start a round of applauses!
I nevee got the concept of shield, especially when because of the reality of superhuman and elite natured beings, this service wouldnt extend to the wider mundane law and milatary branches through the civilian and local communities. Superheroes in general should oppose these guys if not built their own organization founded by autonomous free fortuned superheroes via Batman and the watch tower. I know stark does it but he still anwsers to the law and goverment for some reason.
