Secret Avengers #16

This concluding chapter of "How to MA.I.M. a Mockingbird" brings the espionage tension of the Secret Avengers' 2014 run to a head, with cover art by Jackson Guice depicting a black-clad agent — Mockingbird — in a dynamic mid-air struggle with a figure in an orange jumpsuit, while armed soldiers close in against a globe-spanning backdrop. Looming ghosted figures and the hypnotic S.H.I.E.L.D. spiral logo below reinforce the sense of a world-stage conspiracy reaching its breaking point. Spencer and Kot's script, with colors by Matthew Wilson, promises a satisfying payoff to one of Marvel's sharpest spy stories of the year.
