Product Description: Starring Wolverine, Spider-Man, Daredevil, Captain America, Black Widow, Luke Cage and more! Brian Michael Bendis, the most popular and acclaimed writer in comics, reveals the darkest chapter in Marvel Universe history! When Nick Fury finds a disturbing connection between many of Marvel's deadliest villains, he puts together a ragtag team of the MU's most misunderstood heroes for a secret mission to do what the U.S. government could never allow, eventually leading to a super-powered blowout between a who's who of NYC heroes and mutants! Collects Secret War #1-5; From the Files of Nick Fury.
Quite a fun read... Bendis' imagination and collaboration of so many awesome heroes from the Marvel universe makes it stand out. Although very interesting as a story in itself, the most intriguing aspect of Secret War is that it sets the Marvel universe up for drastic changes that come up shortly after, such as the House of M, New Avengers (also by Bendis), and Civil War story arcs. Thus, the events of Secret War are actually very important for the charcaters involved, especially Nick Fury. I recommend reading it in one or two sittings, as the timing skips around quite a bit and it could potentially be a bit confusing until it is connected near the end.
Great story and interesting art This book presents a very interesting action story, it is perfect for the forcoming Avengers Movie, because it has a lot of action and suspence, the art is diferent but very dynamic. The central idea is that Nick Fury is capable to do everything to save innocent people including deceive and brainwash all his superheroes friends, sadly the final leaves you with more questions than answers, anyway this book it is a must have, and I hope some day Marvel Comics creates Secret War 2.
Meh It contains some relevance now due to Skrull Invasion, but it really was not very good...I would not recommend getting this.
Bendis doing what he does best I just recently revisited this series, and I enjoyed it even more the second time. This series is superbly written (Not to mention fantastic artwork and extras). B.M. Bendis is at his best when he takes B-list characters and writes terrific story lines that makes these second division characters as intriguing as A-listers. The exciting storyline that links the A-list heroes with the B-list villains involved is fascinating and extremely engaging. What's also great about Bendis is his ability to write a short series which has such a major impact on the entire universe. If you liked Disassembled and have enjoyed what's going on with the Civil War fallout you will enjoy this series.
I rather liked it I've heard some complaints about this book, and it has its weak moments, and I'll admit, I groaned a little when I first heard of it, but it's a nice story, though not as fully explored as it could have been, and it led up to much more and bigger changes in the Marvel Universe (also could have been handled better), but in the end, this book stars a great cast of characters doing what they do. Yeah, I'd give it five stars (or maybe 4 1/2).
