Secret Avengers #1

In "NYSE," Hawkeye and Black Widow take on a high-stakes assignment for S.H.I.E.L.D. under a condition that demands they surrender control of their own memories—agreeing to implants that will rewrite or erase their recollections of the mission. Written by Nick Spencer and illustrated by Luke Ross, with colors by Matthew Wilson and letters by VC's Clayton Cowles, this issue sets a tense, morally complex tone from the first page. The cover by Tomm Coker captures the uneasy alliance with sharp, cinematic detail.
