Posted by Jake Chambers in : Comics, Jake Chambers, Marvel , trackbackAlthough it is 4:58 AM here in Belgrade, I have a promise to hold. Pablo, my man, I did not forget you. Here you have your (and all you others who maybe need it), the Secret War.
First, some info from wikipedia:
Secret War is a five-issue comic book limited series published by Marvel Comics. The series is written by Brian Michael Bendis and painted by Gabriele Dell’Otto.
The storyline involves a large scale super-hero crossover featuring Marvel characters such as Spider-Man, Captain America, Wolverine, Luke Cage and Nick Fury fighting a wide array of super-villains who have received hi-tech armaments from a mysterious benefactor.
The first issue was published in April 2004, and though intended originally as a bimonthly publication, it faced long delays. It was completed with issue five’s publication 21 months later in December 2005. A compilation was released on 1 March 2006.
The aftermath of the series was explored in a story arc in The Pulse and Bendis has gone on to use many of the same characters in his New Avengers title.
The storyline in Secret War is totally unrelated to the original Secret Wars and Secret Wars II crossover limited series which Marvel published in the mid-1980s, although its title is clearly inspired by them.
In 2003, Nick Fury, Director of the international security force S.H.I.E.L.D., uncovers a secret plot by the Latverian Prime Minister, Lucia Von Bardas, to fund super criminals with advanced technology presumably left from previous Latverian dictator Doctor Doom as a means of wreaking terror on American soil. Fury immediately takes his findings to the President of the United States but is denied the authorization requested to overthrow the post-Doom Latverian government, which is sponsored by the U.S. Dismissed, Fury is enraged at what he sees as the same pre-9/11 security complacency inviting disaster yet again. Fury recruits Captain America, Daredevil, Luke Cage, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Black Widow and Daisy Johnson in a private attempt to covertly overthrow Latveria.
A year later, a mass reprisal is unleashed across New York City, leaving Luke Cage in a coma as Fury and a cadre of NYC heroes face off against a mysterious new villain and her hi-tech army.
