Discussion Two people who literally LOST EVERYTHING and STILL chose to do good..

Post image

There are countless characters that went through challenges, but none like them.

I will forever look up to these two individuals for what they have always done. No matter what they went through, they still chose the right path.

I felt so bad for Spidey when I read Nick Fury's file on him in Secret War.

The comic?

The 2004 (iirc) miniseries. Nick Fury runs an illegal black bag operation into Latveria using superhero assets, mindwioes everyone involved, and one year later the geopolitical consequences come knocking in Manhattan.

Jonathan Hickman was also involved in that story, so there are extensive S.H.I.E.L.D spreadsheets on the involved parties. The Spider-Man file has a comment by Fury about Parker's crushing guilt over lost loved ones makes him easy to coerce into action.

Is that true? I thought that was a long time before he got involved with Marvel

I think I may have gotten my wires crossed with Secret Warriors, which serves as a kind of sequel of Secret War. Because Bendis is listed amongst the writing credits on Secret Warriors, not the other way around.

That was a fun mini-event that I feel like just got forgotten about pretty quickly (and overshadowed by subsequent "Secret Wars").

It was kind of playing with the same ideas a Justice League: Tower of Babel or the X-Men version with Professor X.

It also had some pretty bad ass cover art by Gabriele Dell'Otto.
