[[File:secret_warriors_6070.jpg|frame|With Nick Fury, there's no such thing [[No Kill Like Overkill|as too much gun]].]]
''[[Secret Warriors]]'' is a 2009-2011 comic book series starring Nick Fury, [[Badass Normal|Agent of Nothing]]. The premise: Take the world's longest-operating clandestine agent with a legendary career in the world's police agency. Turn his world completely upside down. Add superpowered teenagers and shake well.
Although it was started by [[Brian Bendis]], Jonathan Hickman now writes Secret Warriors. Its starting premise {{spoiler|(that HYDRA had control of SHIELD)}} has yet to be reconciled with Hickman's other book [[SHIELD]] (although {{spoiler|references to "the Spear" in both suggest that a reconciliation is coming}}.)▼
