Archived entries for Secret Warriors

Secret Warriors Issue #2

The new issue of Secret Warriors, the second part of Nick Fury: Agent of Nothing came out this week. Numbers were good, Marvel’s happy, response seems to be very positive, and, most importantly, the work is something I’m satisfied with.

We said from the start, that if people would check out the first issue, our belief was that they’d stay for the first arc (6 issues) - and if they checked out the first arc, we would have them for the long haul. We’ll know just how true that is in the coming months, but right now, there seems to be something to what we are doing.

‘We’ obviously includes myself, Brian Bendis and editor Tom Brevoort, but I think that the work being done on the art of the book by Stefano Caselli and Daniele Rudoni is what’s really tipping the book from ‘good’ to ’something special.’

In a book that’s primarily about quiet moments between characters that later explode into something more significant, the storytelling that Stefano is doing for each character is top notch. I’m lucky to be working with the guy - a couple years from now he’s going to be a monster in comics.

Here’s a couple reviews of the issue:
One at IGN, and another at CBR.

Sell out? Sold out!

So, Secret Warriors #1 sold out - Good news. Marvel’s doing a second printing - Great news! Read about it here.

This guy did a decent review of the first issue. For the most part, he gets it. Here are some other guys that did a video review of the book (You asked for the plug, enjoy!)

Okay, all for now.

Pretty recently I did a followup interview with Marvel and also recorded a podcast at the House of Ideas.

After I turned in the first script, everyone at the office got excited about the book and the marketing department developed a teaser site: agentofnothing.com.

 The book comes out February 4th, more news coming in the following days…
