So this was before Maria Hill was kicked out of S.H.I.E.L.D?

[tugrul]

Before Pleasant Hill or could she have appeared in this capacity while under investigation?

She was still Director until the Trial, so probably.

They had to specify it was before CW II # 8, too. Which came out quite a while ago, whoops!

Yeah, one of the reasons why I quit buying this title by issue three was her doing all that nonsense on her own. She's friends with billionaires and demi-gods and one of the finest defense attorneys on the planet, you would think networking and forming an effective counter-strategy using all the resources at her disposal would have been the smart play.

But no, instead we got angst, lots of angst, and move flashbacks to her terrible, terrible childhood. Yawn.

There've been like two or three Marvel titles in a short period where the protag has to say some variant of "No, this I have to do on my own!" It's very tired and cliched, not to mention nonsensical. These guys have fought in intergalactic/inter-reality conflicts together. Cloak and dagger stuff is nothing to them. It's just the writers pulling reasons out of their butts to keep the titles solo.

What's this? Maria Hill being relatively decent, sensible and friendly? I must be dreaming.
