It was somewhat confusing with chronology sequence of events with Simon (and LL members). Can anyone clarify from Leno interview to last issue cliffhanger (see banner above)?? The issue was... okay otherwise.

Things noted:
The Raft is now deemed Maximum-Maximum Security Prison - with a Shawshank Redemption atmosphere.
Livingston and Tillis get good new-character facetime.
If the prison does have power dampeners, somehow Simon is still manages to press impressively.
Simon spilling his guts to the mouthpiece at the drop of a hat felt sudden.
Good sibling rivalry displayed but fighting for one hour?! Contained to the apartment?! C'mon. And walking around with that scythe in public to get to the apartment is just silly.
Reaching out to former SHIELD agents seems easier said than done knowing current continuity of WCA and Howling Commandos.
Meeting with the Legion for the 1st time seems confusing to sequence with his War Machine appearance this month.
Creel outboxes ManBull sans powers - does that seem right?
Jack Murdoch outboxed Creel years ago - is this new info?
Absorbing Man has no time or need for Titania anymore apparently; otherwise he had some okay lines.
The LL vs DA clash was wanting (even cheezy) but Simon's success was a refreshing surprise.
**PAGE SCANS for anyone who appreciates the heads up:

Apparently Reaper was in critical condition all issue but it wasnt clearly explained so some of the story drama was lost by the last page.
Does anyone else dislike the trend of putting the title on the last page?

What did you note/like about the issue.
