Hickmania #7: Secret (W/ Open Mike Eagle!)
Hello and welcome to Comic Book Herald’s Hickmania, a series running through 2022 where we’ll be reading and analyzing the creator-owned works of writer Jonathan Hickman, from his debut The Nightly News through to his most recent output. We’ll be reading one creator-owned work a month through 2022, and each month I’ll release a new analysis with a new guest discussing the comic!
Today we’re talking Secretand I’m joined by Open Mike Eagle! We’ll analyze the work in depth, so expect spoilers! In its brief 7 issues, Secret is a tale of modern corporate espionage that balloons into full Cold War secrets known only to a select few intelligence operatives.
