The Pulse:
If there is one Marvel book that needs a proper dramatis personae to keep track of the core cast it is this one. Not a very accessible book despite being entertaining. Clone logic is inaccessible as are some other parts too. Art is inconsistent throughout the book with some strong artistic pages here and there nonetheless. 5.5 out of 10.
