FREE SECRET WARRIORS: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION VOLUME 1 PDF Brian Bendis,Jonathan Hickman,Stefano Caselli | 480 pages | 09 Jun 2015 | Marvel Comics | 9780785197638 | English | New York, United States Jonathan Hickman Marvel Reading Order ( to ) Thus begins my grand catching-up of the last ten years of Marvel comics, events and stories. Like my gaming Final Thoughts, this will be full of spoilers. Nick Fury had been written out of comics for a number of years around the era I started Secret Warriors: The Complete Collection Volume 1 Jackson as Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and had mostly forgotten about this older comic version. It was nice to see him again, and I actually fell in love with his portrayal as an unflinching, cold-hearted old spy-soldier. More interesting than their ethnicities or power-sets is there age. Another big chunk of the comic is spent on creating essentially a new villain group, complete with multiple foes. Following the skrull invasion Hydra roars back with a vengeance, as Baron Von Strucker rebuilds the organization with fellow Hydra leaders Kraken, Viper, Madame Hydra, and others. Juggling all these villains along with our own crew is tricky, and the comic definitely feels like it plods along for this first arc, ultimately culminating in a GI Joe-style army battle in which everyone escapes to fight again. Instead supplemental reading is suggested by reading a few issues of Thunderboltssome of which literally just retells the exact same scenes like Nick Fury getting captured. I ended up reading a single issue of Thunderbolts and then went back to Secret Warriors. I enjoyed Thunderbolts up until they restructured the team and sent most of them to Dark Avengers. Including this crossover further Secret Warriors: The Complete Collection Volume 1 the time we spend with our actual team of young powered people, however. Issue 10 focuses solely on Phobos. Their complex relationship is Secret Warriors: The Complete Collection Volume 1 well done and further expanded in a later issue…or maybe it was a Dark Avengers issue…. At the end it made me enjoy and respect both Ares and Phobos a lot more. New writer Jonathan Hickman, like Bendis, is unafraid to spend huge amounts of time and space developing the villains. Hydra has their own traitor to deal with, and another faction rises up. Leviathan is essentially the Soviet version of Hydra, and seemingly operates in a similiar way with a huge army of faceless troops and a few superpowered foes. Hopefully it leads to some interesting twists, turns, and mega-battles in the future. I say hopefully because the entire 3-arc Volume ends on a damn cliffhanger involving the betrayal of one of our heroes! The storytelling gets a bit lost with the number Secret Warriors: The Complete Collection Volume 1 characters and factions in play. After sixteen issues I only feel like I know maybe half of the actual Secret Warriors team. However, Nick Fury is Secret Warriors: The Complete Collection Volume 1 entertaining and well written, and the GI Joe-style battles are a lot of fun. Secret Warriors is methodically written and slowly evolving, and I look forward to future payoffs. Freelance Writer View all posts by roguewatson. You are commenting using your WordPress.

Nick Fury has added files stolen from the Carousel to his own private research. With them, he has been able to draw conclusions. Hydra has been a factor in human history for centuries, founded in some fashion in Ancient Egypt before dying out during the French Revolution, only to reappear in the aftermath of the Second World War. Wolfgang von Strucker, working with a cabal of Japanese fascists and a hoard of Nazi gold, formed this new terrorist organization to frighten the whole world. InStrucker used his money to fund the Typhon Group, a front for Hydra, through which the organization could build funds, and manufacture chemical and biological weapons. Later, to provide more funds, he pushed the creation of Echidna Capital Management, a venture capital firm. However, Hydra also worked to found other organizations. Technologist militants like Advanced Idea Mechanics and its multiple splinter factions, political sociopaths like the Secret Empire, and, most shockingly, S. With this system in place, Hydra could lose every battle and still take over the world. A roster of former S. To stop them, Nick Fury resorted to the Caterpillar Files - a list of superhumans who had never been active as heroes or villains, who could be recruited and trained without alerting anyone to his plans. The Caterpillars Fury was able to recruit have been divided into three teams, one of which, working directly under him, was instrumental in the fight against the Skrull invasion. Fury also resorted to a collection of secret bases, hidden around the world, built for his private use during the Cold War. Now, with a list of friends and underlings, a set of facilities to strike from, a list of Hydra bases to watch and attack, a hitlist of targets, and a collection of S.
