Rated T+
Secret Warriors #3 shows the consequences of having the two big guns on a superhero team, or really any kind of team, having moral compasses that are oriented in opposite directions. Matthew Rosenbergs writing is full of snark and spice, and we really get to know why Kamala and Quake act the way they do in this issue. Even if youre anti-Secret Empire and HYDRA Cap, this comic is worth a shot because of its gloomy color palette, moral complexity, and hey, there are dinosaurs, explosions, and creepy mad scientists too.

Without getting too bogged down in the events of Secret Empire, which is going to be a constant struggle for this book, the third issue provides plenty of fun while still imparting some debate about heroism and actions in war. And taking a shot at its own publisher for what the X-Men have become? Priceless. Worth a look. Read Full Review
Stories about young heroes becoming disillusioned is nothing new, but Rosenberg takes the time to show us and Kamala both sides, the one of the "soldier" and the other of the oppressed masses, driven to destruction and violence. As an established superhero known for her optimism, Kamala is an very interesting character to explore this with " what makes the Secret Warriors better than Hydra if they are willing to torture in order to gain the upper hand? It's a question that Rosenberg and company let us ponder with the conclusion of Secret Warriors #3, a book that may stumble, but still manages to impress. Read Full Review
I don't really know what the point of this title is yet, other than an excuse to see a bunch of grumpy characters bicker with one another, but that's kinda enough for me at this point. Serves as a nice counterbalance to the dark and depressing (though largely excellent) main Secret empire title. Read Full Review
The "New Tian" leg of the Warriors' road trip dissolves into lots of X-Men-fighting and a serious argument about torture. Matthew Rosenberg and Javier Garrón understand the rule of thumb that readers will give a new title three issues to make them fall in love, and so they absolutely knock this one out of the park. This story has great teamwork, great conflict, smart characterization, memorable dialogue, and outstanding meta humor (nobody will ever let Inferno forget he's the Marvel universe's fifth-most interesting Fire Guy). Mr. Rosenberg earns the second spot on my "writers I trust to handle Kamala Khan properly" list, and Mr. Garrón has a field day filling up the pages with half-forgotten X-Men, fun action, and expressive faces.
