Everyone has their own opinion about the just-completed Secret Invasion mini-series. I liked most of it, though there were some problems along the way.But one thing's for sure - in the aftermath, we're getting some interesting new titles. And this comic, Dark Reign: New Nation, is promoting those new titles.
Included herein are previews of:
- Secret Warriors, which stars Nick Fury and a bunch of characters you've barely heard of. But the advance word on the series is good, and this 8-page story is not bad. Of course, I'd buy almost any comic that featured Fury.
- Agents of Atlas, which is the follow-up to the outstanding mini-series. This story shows the team making new enemies in an unexpected way.
- War Machine, with Rhodey again donning the ridiculously-weighed-down-with-armament knock-off of Iron Man's armor. Is grim 'n gritty back in style again?
- Skull Kill Krew, a comic I've never read, but it's not hard to figure out their mission in life.
- New Avengers: The Reunion, which gives us a glimpse of the attempts by Bobbi Morse (Mockingbird) and Clint Barton (Hawkeye) to put the pieces of their lives back together.
All in all, not a bad issue - but I'm not sure it's worth the hefty $3.99 price tag. Still, nice art, some fun and interesting (if terribly brief) stories - you could do worse.
Grade: B
