More action with under-used C-list villains and heroes. This month, it's the villainess Ecstasy, who apparently used to be an old Cloak and Dagger villain. Jack also gets a pat-on-the-back by the general public.

The issue actually starts off with the Controller, who's taken over Arabian (Sayid) Knight and Sabra. I was a little confused at the mind-control gimmick of the Controller, though. Last time I saw him, in 1999 in 'Iron Man', he still needed to slap control discs on people's necks. Now, he can apparently secreet his control powers through his skin. I always thought that he relied strictly on technology and had no powers. Also, he now looks like a blue, bald-headed Kree. He used to be an ugly rock-faced guy like the Thing or even Thanos. For that reason, I initially thought he was the Purple Man with a haircut. So I guess there's some VITAL Controller continuity that I've missed in last 7 years. I...I can't sleep without knowing this!

Also, it's revealed that this story is taking place shortly before "Civil War". For once, I'll be finishing a mini-series, as I "subscribed" to this title after issue #2.
