This issue provides a good introduction to the world of Nick Fury and his "Secret Warriors," and the amount of exposition concerning the current status quo of the Marvel Universe means that it's a good jumping on point for newcomers to Marvel in general. Unfortunately, it's symptomatic of the current trend in comics towards extended story arcs over more succinct storytelling, as by the end of the issue, there's a sense that things are only just beginning. Whilst there's every chance that this book could turn into something special, there's also nothing here to encourage me to really recommend it. One to watch, perhaps.

Although it's difficult to discuss the ending of the issue without spoiling things somewhat, the final pages work to set up a fantastic conflict between Stark and the main villain of the arc. Fraction pulls an inspired yet simple idea out of his hat in the closing moments of the book, and I can't wait to see where things go from here. Any readers who were worried that Secret Invasion was going to mess things up for this book can rest assured: this is still a highly enjoyable read.
