"Over two years in the making, see how everything ends after last month's shocking conclusion. What will happen to Nick Fury? Who lives? Who dies? What is the stunning new direction for the remnants of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the Marvel Universe? Find out in Secret Warriors #28 -- it's "Wheels within Wheels," Part 5: FINALE"
There is a nice note at the end by Jonathan Hickman thanking all the people that helped him make Secret Warriors. He of course thanks the fans who stayed with what was a simple Dark Reign crossover book and made it into a monthly title. This was one those titles that floated under the radar, which aren't controlled by outside forces like Editors or what movie is coming out. Secret Warriors reminded me why I love comics, as it was clever, well structured and most of all it was fun. Read Full Review
A really excellent conclusion, but also won that makes you wistful for what could have been. Read Full Review
Secret Warriors #28Posted: Friday, July 29, 2011By: Chris Kiser Jonathan HickmanAlessandro Vitti, IFS (c)Marvel More than halving the count of his original 60 issue plan to a mere 28, Jonathan Hickman was nonetheless capable of fully developing a sprawling superhero espionage saga in Secret Warriors, the stellar Marvel series that ships its final chapter this week. Though it often mimicked the form of decompressed storytelling across its six trade paperback-sized arcs, Hickmans opus was, in reality, anything but, packing in more ideas, conflicts and mysteries than it once seemed hed have time to resolve. That aspect, combined with informed references to decades worth of its publishers continuity, created a grand sense of scale and scope that defied the books brevity as well as the sales numbers it constantly struggled to raise.

"Secret Warriors" only lasted for two-and-a-half years and, in that time, it became a steady assurance of quality every month. It was a book that demanded patience and thought, active readers who were willing to follow Hickman where he wanted to go, and not expect immediate explanations. It was a slow burn that ultimately paid off. It will be missed. Read Full Review
This was a great book
This was a great series. Hickman rarely disappoints. If I'm being honest, I would've loved to have seen a touch less of Nick Fury and more of the Secret Warriors. After all, this is a book named after them. I feel like the Secret Warriors were only ever supporting characters in this Nick Fury story. But either way, it was a great series with lots of high points along the way.
