Damn it Sharon…
Just stick to secret agenting or something that doesn’t require throwing a shield.

RUN THE MISSION. DON’T GET SEEN. SAVE THE WORLD.
In the decadent and crumbling city of ANIANA, in the Eastern European country of SYMKARIA, a local drug lord is planning to sell something mysterious to the Shadow Council. The Secret Avengers cannot risk that, or an interception after the fact — they must get to the drug lord before the handover, and take whatever the goods are. Their covert mission uncovers something utterly unexpected, ancient and terrible and a threat to the entire world…
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$2.99Ellis’s Secret Avengers plan seems to be a series of done-in-ones, each issue featuring a different grouping of characters. I’m hoping that the cover doesn’t lie and this is a Steve/Valkyrie/Marc/Natasha teamup, because Lark drawing Black Widow is one of the top ten things I felt deprived of by Brubaker’s Daredevil run.
Also, that $2.99 price is a mistake, right?
I think that might be Sharon Carter instead of Brunnhilde, but I’ve been wrong before.
Secret Avengers hasn’t let me down before, and that $2.99 cover price pretty much cements that I won’t be dropping this title any time soon.
I just hope that there’ll be some sort of conclusion with the John Steele story. Also, they should bring Richard Rider back.
