Secret Avengers #1

Ed Brubaker launches a covert wing of Earth's mightiest heroes with this striking first issue, painted by Marko Djurdjević. The cover assembles a compelling roster front and center: a hooded Moon Knight, Nova in his golden helmet, a red-haired Black Widow, Steve Rogers in his commander uniform, Beast, War Machine, and a fur-clad Valkyrie, all gathered against a deep crimson planetary backdrop that signals the team's reach extends well beyond street level. "The Heroic Age" banner overhead sets the optimistic tone perfectly for this black-ops team stepping out of the shadows.
