SECRET #1 |
|
IMAGE COMICS
(W) Jonathan Hickman (A/CA) Ryan Bodenheim
"TEETH, WITH WHICH TO EAT"
A man gets shot in London, a law firm gets broken into in Washington, an
accountant gives away the password to his computer, and something put to sleep
20 years ago awakens. What is the unsavory relationship all these things share,
and how could it bring down two of the largest governments in the history of the
world? It's SECRET, a brand new, ongoing, monthly comic from the creators of A
RED MASS FOR MARS. Brought to you by award-winning writer JONATHAN HICKMAN and
break-out talent, RYAN BODENHEIM, SECRET is an espionage thriller that takes a
deep look into the shadow world existing between the government and private
security firms. |
