    Didn’t realize that I missed Nick Fury until I got #1.  Hope this keeps it up.

    i did. It’s more of that alternate reality viral marketing stuff we’ve seen a lot of people doing lately. I think that stuff is cool on the surface, but it’s not very rewarding.

    cant wait, but i wish there was a different artist on this.  or maybe a different colorists would be fine

    Yeah, I’m not sure if it’s the artist or the colorist, but this book seems to lack a sense of location. Everything seems to take place in one single poorly lit location.

    Its the new Marvel coloring that the guys talk about on the podcast.  I don’t really dig it either.  I love Caselli’s work.  Interested to see where this goes.  Loved the first issue, but I’m not entirely sold on staying with this book just yet.

    I’m not sure what people didn’t like about the coloring last issue, it was fantastic.

    You can also type in a query. On my first visit, the page was completely blank except for the query field. I typed "eagleeye" and was forwarded to a database. That database plus the field appears when I go to the site now and when I type a query I get sent to a Secret Warriors promo page and "password incorrect".

    You guys getting the same thing?

    This gets my predicted POW. Loving the art in darkly lit locations through out the Marvel U. Sort of like Avengers Initiative was at first — but with a hope it’ll go somewhere this time.

    @jumpingjupiter I saw the same thing. Just go to agentofnothing.com/eagleeye.html instead. You can do the same thing with other codes like contessa, scorpio. and mikel.

    Really loved the extras with #1. You get a real idea that a lot of time was spent in figuring out the whole international landscape of S.H.I.E.L.D. / HYDRA, laying it down to make sure it all works for this book. I’m impressed.

    Yes I still don’t really know much more about a lot of this team, but the spy element has me totally stoked about this book. I too weas surprised to find how much I’d missed Fury.

    Now when you go to the site, they have 2 "submit query" bars, and when you type eagleeye in ether or both, nothing happens at all.

    I think this is the perfect ‘big two" book for Hickman to be on. I was iffy at first, but the the back matter in issue one really hooked me

    Those back up pages of spread sheets and lists at the end of issue one are the poo (BAD). Compare this to Agents of Atlas. Two new team based, Marvel published series, that came out the same day. Agents is the sh*t (GOOD) homies.

    I completely disagree with Kymsoke (no offense) Agents of Atlas was a total snooze-fest for me, while the story of the forming of this new bad guy team was excellent.

    Right now I see Secret Warriors and Agents of Atlas about the same. Both books feel like they have huge potential, but at this point they are only good, not great. As much as I like them, when I finish reading them, I wish they were better. I think they both have gotten better since their first issue, but neither one is really hitting for me, though they both feel like they’re almost there.

    I think a big reason I liked this issue of Secret Warriors more than last issue is because of all the Hydra stuff. I think a huge part of having an awesome superhero book is having a seriosu villain. Hickman has writen a hydra that feels very formidable, bizzare, and entertaining. Maybe what Agents of Atlas lacks at this point is a real villain. I think both books will improve when we really get the essential aspect of supehero books, which is heroes and villains coming into serious conflict with one another.

    I was disapointed to see this story take a supernatural turn. When I think of a Nick Furyspy book I don’t think of ritualistic resurection. And the reveal was lost on me. Gorgon? And what’s with the giant boobs on a 15 year old?

    I’m kind of a little bit repulsed by this issue actually…

    @JJ-Gorgon was from Mark Millar’s Wolverine run with JRJR a few years back.  In the context of a story dealing with The Hand, it would make sense to bring him back.  But in a Nick Fury spy book…not so much.  The more I think about it, the less likely I’m on board for this.  I’m still not entirely sold on the book, although I do find it entertaining

    @drake I’m all in favor of mixing up supernatrual and spy elements. Mixing up genre’s is a huge part of comics. I think if you’ve got a spy book in the marvel universe, you should have deal with supernatrual stuff, super science stuff, aliens, mutants, gods, whatever.

    Loved it.  Only reason it’s not my PotW was because Buffy was FINALLY back to form.

    Why are we complaining about supernatural resurrections when one of Fury’s team members is a Fear God stuck in the body of a five year old?

    I enjoyed it, but I’m just not that interested in these characters, except for Fury.

    There is nothing really unique about the team. I will give it an arc and possibly drop it for Spider-Woman, Flash Rebirth or New Krypton.

    The writing in this book was very good.  I’m not into all the Hydra characters, except Strucker and Viper, but I really like the Secret Warror team.  The only problem I’ve had with this book was with how Nick Fury looked old and fat.  However, after listening to JH in a recent Wordballoon podcast I agree he should look a little grizzled and worn after so many wars and after what happened to himself and shield.

    This book is brimming over with potential.  It’s just going to take more then two issues to realize it all.  This book is going to tell new stories about characters that obviously very few people are familiar with.  Here’s the deal – Gorgon’s a bad ass.  Also, it appears that more then any other series I’ve ever read, this will be the book to take an evil organization like Hydra seriously.  Not comic relief, not a pushover, but in fact, quite insidiously powerful.
