Nick Spencer And Luke Ross' Secret Avengers Relaunched For Marvel NOW!
Marvel, in a deal with Entertainment Weekly, has revealed the details of the Marvel NOW relaunch of Secret Avengers, by Nick Spencer and Luke Ross, starring Hawkeye, Black Widow, Nick Fury Jr, Agent Coulson and Mockingbird.
A SHIELD-originated version of The Avengers, working on their terms, it seems appropriate when Marvel are looking at a SHIELD TV show. But there is a twist. Obviously.
Thanks to the memory implant technology first seen in the 2005 Brian Michael Bendis-scripted series Secret War, "Nobody on this team actually knows that they're on this team." For members of the team, a specific keyword activates their programming when it's time for a mission; once the mission is done, the same keyword wipes their memory. "It's a very different kind of book," says Spencer, "A covert ops, black ops spy book."
