The idea of the Secret Avengers hasn't always made sense. Actually, there have been times when their actual potential hadn't seemed fully utilized. With a Point One issue, new series writer, Rick Remender, jumps in full force to give us a taste of what covert Avengers missions should and could be about. Focusing on Captain America and Hawkeye, we get some set up for the new direction and Remender writes some very direct dialogue between the two. Some of the villains that appear feel a little out of place but it all works out and we have something to look forward to in the coming issues. Patrick Zircher does a great job and succeeds in making Cap and Hawkeye distinguishable when not wearing their costumes. I was a little sad to hear that Captain America wouldn't be on the team but Remender based on this issue, we're in for a great new direction. Read Full Review
In a couple weeks, the regular artist, Gabriel Hardman, joins Remender as they begin their run and, if you ask me, this series is certainly in the right hands. Read Full Review
It's a new day for this series with what I'm sure to be some great adventures on the horizon. Read Full Review
I'm a new reader to this title and I felt right at home. The first half of the book was fairly straightforward and it bordered on kind of dull. The book turned the corner in a big way in the second half and I ended up heavily anticipating the ending. I think that means the ".1" has done its job. I definitely recommend picking this issue up. This is just too much fun to pass up. Read Full Review
Secret Avengers #21 is a thoroughly enjoyable read that makes me excited to see what comes next. Read Full Review
Eric Stephenson recently wrote an interesting piece on the state of super hero comics vs. independent comics, comparing modern trends to a child pulling toys out of a box and attempting to figure out interesting ways to play with the same old things. While on some level this is true, Remender is truly one of the gleams of light you can implicitly trust when it comes to using our favorite old toys for fun new adventures, andSecret Avengers (now on its fourth creative team) is off to another strong start. If Remender'sre-imaginationof the Age of Apocalypse could say anything of what he has in plan for the Masters of Evil and the Shadow Council, one could venture a guess that his run of Secret Avengers with Gabriel Hardman is still going to be the equivalent of ice cream. Sweet, delicious ice cream. Read Full Review
It's a shame this wasn't knock-your-socks-off brilliant, as we've seen Remender capable of that in the past, but as an introduction to a new run it definitely works. It would have been nice to see some of the new "Secret Avengers" cast members turn up to solidify the start, but whether you call it an intro or a prologue, there's plenty here to maintain readers' interest until next issue.

Hmmm. I guess those old-fashioned ads and previews are doing a better job of pimping this book than a full-length Point One issue. Maybe that's why it only cost $2.99 instead of the normal four bucks? Read Full Review
It’s good to see that Rick Remender understands that this series was too focused on Captain America, because it looks like this is his last issue as a member of the Secret Avengers. The story takes place in a country called Balania, which is basically Madripoor. The team is trying to find a drug Lord, so Natasha, Sharon, and Moon Knight infiltrate a party. The Steve and Hawkeye find the drug lord and it turns out he’s an LMD so he self destructs. This issue also introduces the new Masters of Evil, composed of Ghost Rider, Princess Python, and Whiplash, with Max Fury and the Shadow Council rubbing it! The reason Steve takes Clint on this mission is because Steve is planning on moving on from the Secret Avengers, and he is considering let more
