An interesting espionage book set within the Marvel Universe. "Secret Warriors" was the proving ground for Hickman's approach to long-form stories and superheroic family dynamics, which later coalesced into his incredible run on Fantastic Four.
"Warriors" The earlier arcs "God of Fear," and "Wake the Beast" are the products of Hickman pre-planning every minor detail of his story. While good, they lack emotional heft. "Last Ride of the Howling Commandos," "Night," and "Wheels Within Wheels" are t...more

This is nearly as good as a graphic novel gets, and belongs on a shelf of mahogany, illuminated by a crystalline meteor that emits the golden light of a newborn star. Absolutely perfect story that had the potential to be so much more.

Nick Fury the spy of spies has lived a twisty turny shadowed life as the director of SHIELD. Now deposed by HAMMER after the events of Secret Invasion he is training a group of warriors and putting together teams to do the work that he's been doing his whole life THE RIGHT THING. Twists, and turns, betrayal, death it's all in a day's work for that one eyed man after all you can sleep when you're dead.
Somewhat weak opening (Bendis), good early on, great in the middle, solid ending. Borders on four stars but really only fully earns three.
A must read for any comic book or adventure fan.
