Nov 03, Sesana rated Secret Avengers - Volume 2: Iliad (Marvel Now) liked it Shelves: comicssuperhumans. This was kind of frustrating. Not the first half or so of the book, which continues the A. That part is written quite well, it has some really exciting action, and it left Secret Avengers - Volume 2: Iliad (Marvel Now) wanting more. The covert hit on the Scientist Supreme has lost Daisy her position as director of S. Cool stuff, and a great cliffhanger. But it's only a cliffhanger because the actual story gets the boot for the Infinit This was kind of frustrating. But it's only a cliffhanger because the actual story gets the boot for the Infinity crossover. It doesn't have any of the regular team, it totally ignores the storyline, and it's incredibly jarring. And frustrating. I could blame editorial for forcing the crossover, or I could blame the writer for not planning for it. Either way, I wish it wouldn't have happened.

Gosh, I find this series incomprehensible. I don't know if it's just Secret Avengers - Volume 2: Iliad (Marvel Now) or if it's the script not being that well-written. I don't mind a few twists and turns in a storyline, but there are so many that this book doesn't make much sense to me. I don't think this is a good choice for people who are new to the Avengers comics diving Secret Avengers - Volume 2: Iliad (Marvel Now). I would probably try to track down some older Avengers titles instead of this. There is a lot of assumed knowledge that I feel I only have picked up because of rand Gosh, I find this series incomprehensible. There is a lot of assumed knowledge that I feel I only have picked up because of random Marvel title reading I've been doing this year. Other aspects slip over my head and I have to rely on the Marvel Wikia to get more information. I would give this barely three stars. This is a preliminary review. I may revise it over time. Apr 28, Terence rated it liked it Shelves: marvel-unlimited Unfortunately a house divided against itself can not stand. Iliad was a frustrating volume. This comic has all the necessary pieces to be incredible, but it just keeps falling short. Maria Hill seems like a myopi A. Maria Hill seems like a myopic and heartless Fury Sr. The memory wipes still bother me incredibly. It shouldn't as Nick Fury wiped the minds of all the heroes in Secret War, but just replacing operatives minds and abandoning them in battle seems beyond cruel. Fury at least brought everyone home before messing with their heads. Jul 15, Anthony rated it liked it Shelves: digitalmarvel-now. Another Marvel book by Nick Spencer that I enjoyed! Also Bendis and his Secret War. But setting some of this stuff before the last issue of the last volume was a bit risky. It does all make sense in the end. Maybe I'm just not as smart as Nick Spencer thinks I am? I also think the Infinity tie- ins hinge the volume a bit. Spencer is building something really cool and the out of nowhere comes Infinity tie ins written by someone else. It Secret Avengers - Volume 2: Iliad (Marvel Now) really force. I know event tie ins get a lot of flack for this, because they can disrupt a books ongoing story, and I think that's what happens here. But it is only two issues. And they do help add to the new Nick Fury, who I'm not sure if I like or not. Also find myself wanting to read the third volume to see where this goes. Not because I feel like I have to, but because I actually want to. I guess Spencer is doing something right then. Shelves: marvel. A fun continuation of the storyline that began in "Reverie", split into two story parts: Part One, dealing with a failed invasion of A. Island and poor Bobbi Morse getting quite amusingly left behind view spoiler [and thrust into the worst "You Mean Today is the Big Presentation? Jackson and Clark Gregg. Enjoyable, on the whole, though I'm probably the th person to be annoyed by how virtually identical the character designs are for Maria Hill and Daisy Johnson. If it weren't for their fetching opposite black 'n' white jumpsuits apparently comfortable and functional enough Secret Avengers - Volume 2: Iliad (Marvel Now) wear to the office as well as on missions one couldn't tell them apart! May 18, Krzysztof Grabowski rated it liked it. Miejsce Daisy zajmuje nie kto inny jak Maria Hill. Nadchodzi nowe Bo walka z monstrami to jedno, a walka z innym Inhuman drugie. Nie ma mowy o jakimkolwiek zaskoczeniu. Secret Avengers, Volume 2: Iliad by Nick Spencer Pros: The thrills and suspense of the previous Secret Avengers - Volume 2: Iliad (Marvel Now) continue. The main narrative becomes more interesting than before, adding more hope for the next volume. The artwork looks good and pairs well with the story. Overall: This collection builds on the solid foundation of its predecessor. The story here is more exciting, more thrilling, and generally more interesting than before. It answers questions from the previous collection while also introducing new ones, giving fans more of a reason to return. Readers who enjoyed the story in the previous volume should continue reading with this one. Secret Avengers Vol. This is partly accomplished by further explaining how things happened in the first volume. It is also accomplished by ramping up the tension and interest surrounding the action and political maneuvering. However, it is primarily accomplished by elaborating upon the ever-growing battle between S. Not every piece of the collection is amazing but the majority of it is fun and pretty entertaining. The core of Iliad maintains the Secret Avengers - Volume 2: Iliad (Marvel Now) spy maneuverings and tense action of its predecessor. The Secret Avengers are forced into several intense situations where any slip up could spell doom. This keeps things interesting and keeps the read tense. However, Iliad goes beyond its predecessor by enhancing nearly everything around the spy maneuverings. This volume details S. In addition, larger narrative elements about the battle between S. All of this helps make the series, as a whole, more interesting and further builds up excitement for future volumes. Iliad closes with a tie-in to the Infinity Review event, written by Ed Brisson. This tie-in is a unique look at what would happen if a regular S. This concept gives the adventure a unique twist and allows it to work Secret Avengers - Volume 2: Iliad (Marvel Now) in a book that is slightly critical of S. My only minor complaint with Iliad is that the presentation of events is somewhat strange. The book jumps from flashback to the present and, occasionally, to a hallucination or dream. It makes the volume feel slightly too convoluted and introduces some unnecessary frustration. The artwork in Iliadfrom Butch Guice and Luke Ross, is mostly positive and contributes to the success of this collection. Like the previous volume, Iliad contains artwork with dark inks and gritty visuals, creating an atmosphere that matches the darker tone of the book. However, the real draw here comes from some of the unique structures seen throughout the collection. The pages in this book are laid out in a way that helps emphasize the complex nature of spycraft, giving visual clues Secret Avengers - Volume 2: Iliad (Marvel Now) tactics used to distract or outwit opponents. There are also pages where the structures help demonstrate the storytelling themes of a given moment. The only artistic low points come from a few places where characters faces look strange and a chapter where the colors mentioned in the dialogue do not match the colors shown on the page. Besides these few negatives, this is a good looking book that works well with the story.
