"Colossus" marks a pivotal moment in the S.H.I.E.L.D. mythos, weaving ancient history into the modern espionage saga. Written by Jonathan Hickman and illustrated by Nick Pitarra, with colors by Rachelle Rosenberg and letters by Todd Klein, the story unfolds through layered flashbacks—spanning from 226 B.C., when Archimedes outwits a Kree Sentry using the Colossus of Rhodes, to 1497, when Leonard's agents attempt, and fail, to recruit Michelangelo for the Shield. The cover, by Gerald Parel, captures the enigmatic weight of the mission.
