4.0 out of 5 stars Bendis at his best, 7 Jul 2007
By M. I. Popovski (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First of all get the art out of the way. This comic is beautiful. Moving on. It's hard not to see Secret War as some kind of allegory on Iraq. Nick Fury suspects the country of Latvaria is sponsoring super-villan terrorists in a plan to attack US civilians. But unlike the goings on in the real world, the White House refuses to do anything, so Fury goes it alone -- recruiting a rooster of superheroes to travel to Latvaria and show them who's boss. Hmmmm.

It's interesting to find such ideas in a Marvel comic, and Bendis should be applauded for his treatment of the subject, which I think is rather more subtle that the bombastic style of Mark Millar's political statements. The only place he fails is in the exploration of the villans' motivations -- ultimately the thing that is most important. The Latvarian hatred for America is largely unexplained. Fury simply retaliates against it, seeing the conflict in a black-and-white, us-against-them, heroes vs. villans way. This doesn't reflect the rather more complex real life 'war on terror'. But it suits the conventions of a Marvel superhero comic. It is also interesting that the rather simplistic comic book good vs. bad tone in Fury's speeches mirrors the neo-conservative rhetoric coming out of the White House. Again: hmmmm.

2.0 out of 5 stars ISBN mix up , 14 Oct 2008
This review is from: Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars (Paperback)
I would be very wary of buying this as Amazon appear confused as to who has written it (jim shooter or brian bendis) and in fact which book it is - secret war (singlar) or secret wars (plural). Its an understandable mistake but as its very hard to explain any non-standard return issues to amazon, so you may be best off avoiding it all togther. Although both books in themselves are quite readable.
