Laziness is strong in this one.
So, yeah, the new guy is still without any character whatsoever, and the explanation to why he can control the symbiote is weak. Lee is getting everything done without any problems and is blasting through everyone in god mode. A total nobody yesterday suddenly has everything figured out. The symbiote on the other hand has turned into a complete wimp (but i'm not up to speed on the recent development, maybe it's been like this for some time)
The redeeming stuff:
+The Art is great
+The 2 Agents are interesting enough to make me read the next issue.
