4. Secret Avengers

Oh, well, HERE’S the other team that Eric O’Grady’s on. You know, the one I segued to three entries ago? Well, we’re there now.

Sigh.

Okay, so. The Secret Avengers were an Avengers-sanctioned covert ops team led by Steve Rogers. And although the first lineup consisted of a furry blue cat man (The Beast), a constantly glowing space cop (Nova) and a literally crazy person dressed all in white (Moon Knight), none of whom exactly scream “secret”, the team eventually found its footing.

Plus, we got some more Eric O’Grady, including his defining character moment. The Rick Remender-written run is especially great, and my fave, but I’ve heard great things about the Kot run as well. And the stand alone Warren Ellis issues are, well, Warren Ellis issues, so of course they’re amazing.

Those are collected in a trade as “Run the Mission. Don’t Get Caught. Save the World.” Which is a pretty fantastic title for a thing.
