How many covers is that?
Does I even have that many pages of art?

Ok, this looks pretty cool. Might have to pick this up.

The art looks great, I am definitely picking up at least the first couple of issues. I guess now that we know Skye is Daisy Johnson, the big mystery now is who Ward becomes (maybe Taskmaster). I'd wonder about Raina, but when they showed her blue-green face under the dust, she just looked like Savage Land Raina.

@Melkaticox

They confirmed that Skye won't be in the series since she's Daisy. They put her on a cover as a fake out to purposefully keep people who were watching the show from realizing Daisy and Skye are one in the same.

I think in the Marquez cover (2nd to last) that is Daisy (Sky) in the front and center with May and Simmons.
Am I right? Or who else could that girl be?

Agents of shit is so boring. Lame and unfunny.

I'm surprised there hasn't been any complainers talking about Marvel force feeding the MCU into the comics. I happen to like this.

Pretty sure that's Maria Hill. I guess she's gonna look like Cobie Smulders now.

Is that Simmons in a SHIELD bodysuit on the 2nd cover? Whoa...

Yeah ...Ward is totally Taskmaster in MCU. He doesn't seem to be making the leap with May, Fitz, and Simmons and as said above Skye is not in the comics because of the initial plan for her. I think it is pretty clear that Ward is Someone.

Also, props to the show for handling him right thus far.

Its funny that the female Spider characters on the cover are Silk and Spider-Gwen, but Jessica Drew is nowhere to be found!

Kinda disappointed Fitz is in this. Kinda rules him out as being an actual character from the comics.

@Rex, Oh, I havent realised. I think you are right!

I love Cobie, so having the comic Maria looking like her, is something that I appreciate :D

I hear ha. Never put together the Ward/Taskmaster theory. would like to hear the explanation on that 1. Sounds like an interesting theory. Also interesting theory that if he isn't in this series it's because he is set to become an established character like Skye/Daisy. Don't know that I completely agree. We knew from day 1 Skye wasn't her real name and there was a mystery surrounding her identity. We seem to know a lot about Ward already (name, family,background), but it's a cool theory I'd like to hear more about.

@Boehner You're just mad, because your name sounds like "boner."

@dethpillow

I think it is a combo of Taskmaster's popularity, Ward's popularity after turning heel, and having slightly similar backgrounds. I personally don't think it was PLANNED for him to be Tasky ...but I think the fan theories will eventually lead them to that point. But mostly, I think it is that people REALLY like this path with Ward and want him to be active part of the MCU and with TM being a popular character in the comics, they just put two and two together. I personally like the idea the more I see that Ward cannot and will not be redeemed. Why not make him a big bad for the whole series?
