Secret War

    (Marvel, 2004–2005)
™ and © Marvel Characters, Inc.

This five-issue limited series from writer Brian Michael Bendis (Powers) and artist Gabriele Dell’Otto explores an aspect of the never-ending battle between super-heroes and super-villains that may fly below the radar of even the most loyal Marvelite: just where do all those strangely garbed criminals get the money for their elaborate equipment and high-tech weapons? S.H.I.E.L.D. head honcho Nick Fury wants answers, so he launches an all-out investigation that uncovers answers so far-reaching, so insidious, and so disturbing that the Marvel Universe will be rocked to its very core. Trust me, it’s more than just the Vulture making that meddling Spider-Man pay for his interference, or Doctor Doom vowing to take over the world. In a word, Bendis does it again!
