Secret Avengers is an American comic book series published by Marvel Comics featuring a fictional black ops superhero team of the same name. Written by Ed Brubaker, the series depicts a new a version of Marvel's premiere super hero team, the Avengers, which operates under the guidance and leadership of Captain Steve Rogers.[1][2] The series is part of the Avengers-line relaunch, the "Heroic Age".
Publication history
Writer Ed Brubaker and artist Mike Deodato were announced as the creative team for the Secret Avengers title. A series of teaser images were released by Marvel to promote the upcoming series in February 2010, which slowly revealed the team's roster over the course of two months.[3] The series started in late May 2010 (cover date July 2010).
As of the first issue, the roster includes Beast, War Machine, Valkyrie, Moon Knight, Nova, Black Widow, Sharon Carter, and Ant-Man, and the team is lead by Captain Steve Rogers.[2] In regards to the tone of the new title, Brubaker has said:
[Secret Avengers is] definitely going to have a lot of the espionage plots and the Steranko influence, and the crazy Kirby technology, but I don't think there's going to be much soap opera. I hope it feels different than any Avengers team, ever.[4]
Plot
After the events of "Dark Reign" and Siege, Norman Osborn was deposed as America's "top cop" and his organization H.A.M.M.E.R. was disbanded. In response to his hand in reforming the original Avengers and staving off the Siege of Asgard, President Barack Obama appointed former Captain America Steve Rogers as America's new foremost law enforcement agent, as well as dissolving the Super Human Registration Act at Rogers' request.[1] Captain Rogers then forms the Secret Avengers as a group of superheroes to operate under a veil of secrecy, in addition to the main Avengers team.
