Secret Avengers #6

Nick Spencer's covert-ops take on Earth's Mightiest Heroes hits its sixth chapter with a cover by Nic Klein that crackles with espionage tension — a white-hooded skull-faced figure and a goggled fighter loom in the upper panels, while Nick Fury Jr., Black Widow, and a bow-wielding agent press through a forest below, all of them armed and clearly heading somewhere dangerous. Butch Guice and Rick Magyar handle the interior art, with Matthew Wilson's cool teal palette giving the whole issue the feel of a late-night mission briefing. "Iliad, Pt. 1" promises a new story arc where the spy thriller elements of the Secret Avengers are front and center.
