SHIELD faces its greatest threat — from within! All that stands in the way of its enigmatic inner agenda is Nick Fury himself…but Fury falls from grace when SHIELD’s ruling council, commanded by the mysterious Deltite, frames him for treason and sends him running for his life. The network Fury built turns against him, and even he can’t fight an army alone. Going underground, Fury gathers allies — but the Deltite’s cult have targeted Fury’s few remaining loyalists, replacing them with Life Model Decoy androids. Which agents are true to Fury? Which ones aren’t even real? And which, if any, will survive? Must Fury destroy the organization to which he’s devoted his life? In a world of lies that he constructed, who can a master spy trust?

Few people have ever left their mark on one character quite the way Walter Simonson has. His work on the Mighty Thor swept the Norse God of Thunder to heights never before seen and rarely achieved in his wake. Spanning epic tales of heroism and treachery, love and war, Simonson’s work is often considered the definitive Thor. From the majesty and mystery of fabled Asgard to the gritty streets of New York City, Thor was never the same. That is the mark of a true visionary. This second volume continues the collection of Simonson’s epic run — completely remastered from the original artwork and newly colored by Steve Oliffe. Collecting THOR (1966) #346-355.

I know it's not 80s, but I'm pretty excited about the Kree/Skrull War getting a new TPB. Never read it; always wanted to do so. I think I'll pick up a copy in September.
ReplyDeleteAlways loved that Sienkiewicz artwork from S.H.I.E.L.D. #2... if memory serves, it was a total departure from the actual artwork of the mini... not exactly truth in advertising by featuring it as the cover on the new trade but kudos to Marvel for going with a great piece of artwork...
