SHIELD Comics Watch - Mid-July 2013

This is a thing I've decided to start doing for fun.

Angela Chang is in charge of SHIELD AI surveillance/reaction division as of Avengers AI # 1.

Alison "Dazzler" Blaire is on the payroll and part of the task force chasing down Scott Summers' X-faction as of Uncanny X-Men (current series) # 8.

Maria Hill's still bouncing all over the landscape, from Secret Avengers to Indestructible Hulk to Uncanny X-Men.

We have a couple of new Helicarriers, Hercules and Constellation (both sister ships with Constellation as the class namesake), to put next to the Iliad. Thank Paul Cornell over on Wolverine.

Additional note: Hercules is designed to be submersible, so I guess that the Chinese government wasn't willing to hand over the sub-carrier Leviathan on a long-term basis to SHIELD after that business of sending the Hulk after Attuma. And SHIELD likely wasn't counting on such a donation to begin with, either, given lead times on shipbuilding processes.

What am I missing?

Quake?

Wasn't sure how spoilery to get here.

And I'm not sure that there isn't one last twist to that particular bit of "office politics" yet to play out.

Sidebar question:

Do you suppose her influence was in play re: Dazzler's joining the payroll?
