Secret Avengers #1

In "Budapest," Hawkeye and Black Widow are pulled into a high-stakes operation with S.H.I.E.L.D., agreeing to a deal that demands they submit to memory-altering implants—no questions asked. Written by Nick Spencer and illustrated by Luke Ross, with colors by Matthew Wilson and letters by Clayton Cowles, this first issue of Secret Avengers sets a tense, morally complex tone. The cover by Tomm Coker captures the mission's shadowy urgency.
