DOUG’S PICK :: SECRET #3: You’re totally forgiven if this epic spy story from Jonathan Hickman and Ryan Bodenheim has slipped off your mind (and off your pull list); after all, it has been over a year since the last new issue. Let me refresh your memory: Hickman and Bodenheim, who were last seen together on A Red Mass From Mars, bring us an espionage story centered around three seemingly random events that center around the oldest secret in the histoy of the world.  IN. THE. HISTORY. OF. THE. WORLD!!.

Bodenheim’s strength of faces and facial expressions are on full display and are crucial to the storytelling as it’s mostly dudes in suits throughout this book.  For Hickman, this story is closer to his debut book, Nightly News than the epics he become known for at Marvel.
