The TV show is only allowed guest appearances by super-heroes on rare occasions - presumably because of time and budget constraints - but there are no such restrictions on this comic.
And the creative team makes the most of it, so we see writer Mark Waid bringing in a member of the Fantastic Four (a book he wrote some excellent stories for in the past) to help recover a man who's being held prisoner in the strangest prison yet.
The interactions between Agent Phil Coulson and Sue Richards, the Invisible Woman, are a real treat - and her powers are put the the test in new and interesting ways.
Take a smart script and add terrific art by Chris Sprouse and Karl Story and you get a strong story that's also a lot of fun.
Whether you like the TV show or not, I can't imagine any Marvel Comics fan who wouldn't enjoy this series. It's like a terrific team-up comic every month!
