A little too confused, a little too complicated. But still an interesting book. And Phobos is cool enough that he makes Ares bearable. Lots of Nick Fury in this one. And definite overlaps with the Movie/TV universe. And yet a little bit more concentration on telling the story in place would be better. The Norman Osborn/Nick Fury bits were good though. 3.5 of 5.

I'd give this one 3.5 stars if I could.
Sooooo...this volume was pretty different than the first one. I was expecting a direct continuation...but this one got all sidetracked and shit. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed the story, and the general plot still trickled along...but all in all I felt that this one was a little 'less' than where we had originally begun.
First off - Marvel played their little bullshit game of, 'if you wanna know the whole story, run out and buy this other comic, and this other one too while you are at it.'
I hate that shit! Marvel and DC are notorious for it and it's why I often get frustrated with them and walk away.
Still, that said, this was a pretty damn entertaining volume. Fury is badass as ever, his Secret Warriors are still pissing me off (freaking newb rookies), however, they are beginning to grow on me as they slowly come into their own.
And, of course, there's the whole God Of war and his son, God of Fear, thing going on - which I really dig.
I dunno. Everything is kind of a clusterfuck right now (in a mostly good way). You don't know who to trust and who is working for who, and all I really want is Fury and his Howling Commandos to kick some ass and yell a lot while their fists and bullets fly at the bad guys.
Basically, this volume felt like a cock tease. Hopefully I get some release in the next arc.

Somewhat lacking in terms of plot, but I have to admit that all it takes for me to enjoy this book is ample servings of Nick Fury and, well, there definitely was *that*. I'm curious to see what comes next, however.
