Last time we checked, Captain America gave Hawkeye the task of creating his own iteration of the Secret Avengers, which we see is composed of Black Widow, Beast, the android Human Torch, Venom, Valkyrie, Captain Britain, and Giant Man. Writer Rick Remender and artist by Gabriel Hardman share their thoughts and gives us some insight on what to expect from their run on the Secret Avengers.
“Our opening arc will have a big secret war, a big secret new world, a big secret new race, a big team death, a big secret team betrayal, and begin a secret affair. High stakes, intrigue, and tons of character drama as we unearth the mystery surrounding familiar automaton villains reimagined as members of a new species--The Descendants!” exclaimed Remender. “I’m a tremendous fan of Gabe’s work; he's one of the best storytellers in the business, always puts clarity first, while still managing engaging and dynamic action. I’m beyond excited to have him joining me on Secret Avengers. And having Art Adams on covers is truly a dream come true.”
“SECRET AVENGERS gives me the opportunity to draw an exciting group of heroes who I've never drawn before as well as design new villains and new worlds. Hawkeye, Beast and Valkyrie have been favorites of mine since I was a kid. That combined that with the crazy big, black ops tinged action/adventure makes this a book I had to draw,” explained Hardman. “Rick is known for his wildly inventive scripts and he really delivers with SECRET AVENGERS. This is an epic story that will have big repercussions. That's the kind of storytelling I like to be involved with.”
