Well now I know why marvel gave Bendis the keys to the Avengers back in mid 2000's.

So what's secret war? Well Fury needed a mission complete. One he knew wouldn't be possible after his own goverment said "nah we good." so what does he do? Recruit some of the biggest superheroes to help him complete the mission including Spider-man, Captain America, Daredevil, Logan, Cage, and more! However...Nick Fury needs to cross a very dark line. One that shouldn't be crossed when fighting for "good" but he does anyway and what happens when those heroes don't remember it?

Good: The art is solid and shows some great emotions on the faces. The fights are brutal and intense. The pacing is crazy quick with a lot of twist and turns and some emotional great moments. The banter works really well and the characters you expect to do the most do it. I also really enjoyed the ending.

Bad: Some of the art work makes it hard to follow what's happening. I also think some of the plotting, structure wise, can be a bit confusing at times.

Overall this is a dark take on Nick Fury's motives and mission. It shows who he is really and also gives a lot of reasons to want the heroes in here working together which is what basically forms the New Avengers. So I can see why Bendis was given the keys to the Avengers after this mini-series. A 4 out of 5.
