In "Chapter One: 'The Unholy Resurrection of Leonardo da Vinci'," Jonathan Hickman and Dustin Weaver launch a bold new chapter in the S.H.I.E.L.D. saga, where history itself is a battleground. Newton, a man shaped by centuries of hidden knowledge, reunites with Leonid and the resurrected Leonardo da Vinci in a present-day conspiracy that stretches back to 1625 and 1652. With Gerald Parel’s striking cover setting the tone, this issue blends grand historical intrigue with the enduring mystery of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s secret architects.
