I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
I couldn't focus on reading anything, and then I started this. This is a twisted retelling of Red Skull's origins, and the darker it got, the more interested I got. And it got dirtier the more I read, and it didn't stop even near the end: the dirtiest tricks, the biggest punches were left until the end of this mini-series.
See, there used to be a black ops team that took care of the killing when S.H.I.E.L.D couldn't be involved. That's right, The Avengers. Except when the Red Skull steals the cosmic cube from the Baxter building, it all goes to hell. The Avengers - or a new lineup - are called back into action, and that's all before they figure out who the Red Skull's father is.
I did not see that coming, and I didn't see anything coming from then on in, to be honest. I didn't see it, but I sure loved the ride.
