The Secret Warriors comic, without coming right out and saying so, has been asking its readers for one thing: patience.This is a story that has been developing slowly. Spinning out of the Secret Invasion and the Secret Wars before it, this has been the story of what Nick Fury has done to get ready for the ultimate menace.
Once again, the creative team turns in a solid effort - from the story by Brian Bendis and Jonathan Hickman to the dark moody art by Stefano Caselli.
Fury has discovered that Hydra has been in control of SHIELD all along, and we've seen the true leaders of Hydra emerge - and a fearsome bunch they are.
Fury has assembled his own team of super-powered Secret Warriors, and in this issue he meets up with two of his oldest friends and we learn about other preparations for the upcoming war. (And how good it is to see those friends again!)
The good news is, all hell is about to break loose. The bad news is, this issue is more of the behind-the-scenes maneuvering, so there's no real action on display. But be patient, readers - next issue is the payoff, and should tell the tale about this series - whether or not it lives up to the build-up.
Here's hoping!
