Secret Warriors #1

A bold ensemble of young powered individuals crowds this Jim Cheung cover alongside the unmistakable eyepatch-wearing Nick Fury, energy crackling between them against a glowing cityscape backdrop. Writers Brian Bendis and Jonathan Hickman team with artist Stefano Caselli for "Declaration," the opening chapter of what promises to be a tense, clandestine adventure built around this scrappy crew of warriors. It's a compelling setup — Fury looming large in the foreground while his charges surge forward with visible power and urgency — that makes this 2009 Marvel title hard to put down before you've even opened it.
