I recently reviewed Secret Warriors #3 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "Secret Warriors is a special book that comes along rarely. Take this issue, where Jonathan Hickman manages to spend considerable time on an illuminating and character-rich conversation between Nick Fury and the Contessa, but also packs in an unpredictable action scene that will surprise many. In superhero comic terms, somehow, Secret Warriors gets to have its cake and eat it, too."You can read the rest HERE!

Four and a half stars! That's pretty high. So, Secret Warriors #3 is better than every issue of Brubaker's Captain America?
"Each issue of “Secret Warriors” has been a step up from the previous with Hickman, Bendis, and Caselli upping the ante with each issue."
I read an interview with Hickman and he said that this issue was the best he's written so far (For Secret Warriors). It seems you'd agree and I hope I will too.
I'm more excited about Secret Warriors than I am about Battle for the Cowl, Dark Avengers, and New Avengers. I guess that means the book will be cancelled after twelve or so issues, right?
Not every issue, just the three I've reviewed, which, let's be honest, were part of the two most recent three-part stories--very good issue, but not fantastic. This comic had me excited to see what would happen on each page and then delivered. Honestly, if the art was better, this probably could have gotten a 5/5...
Oh, I was just kidding about the Captain America thing. Damn the impersonal type! I was the dude who pointed out the fact that you've always been giving four stars for Cap. I thought I'd just continue that theme, jokingly.
Which, just curious, issue of Cap would be better than this? 25? Forty-something where Zola gets killed?
Yeah, I was going to bring up the art for Secret Warriors #3. Your criticism in your review reminded me of Tim's idea, "what if someone like Gabriel Ba was on Secret Warriors?"
That will never happen, but it's ok. I'm fine with Casselli. I guess Hickman just has to write extra hard to get five stars. Let's hope he will.
Bruce, no worries, I got the joke--just figured I'd respond seriously for the fun of it--explain the process a little.
I think the issues immediately after the death of Steve Rogers were extremely strong and probably would have gotten ratings higher than four stars.
I don't mind Caselli either--as I noted, his character work isn't that bad, it just really wasn't there for the Fury/Contessa scenes. Maybe he just doesn't know how to depict the Contessa just yet.
