XXXMedia Release -- Nick Fury's waging a war on Norman Osborn's Dark Reign and now it's Norman's turn to fight back in Secret Warriors and Thunderbolts! The wrath of Osborn crosses over into both series, as the Dark Avengers and Thunderbolts target Fury's greatest assets in Secret Warriors #7-8 and Thunderbolts #135-136.

In Secret Warriors #7, from red-hot scribe Jonathan Hickman and guest artist Alessandro Vitti, Osborn, the Dark Avengers and Thunderbolts join with Baron Strucker to defeat Fury. And what does Ares, the God of War, want with his son Phobos, the God of Fear?

Then, in Thunderbolts #135, the acclaimed team of Andy Diggle and Miguel Sepulveda send Black Widow and Songbird on a quest to find Nick Fury—but will they survive?

Editor Bill Rosemann explained, "Nick Fury vs. Norman Osborn? The Secret Warriors vs. the Thunderbolts? Andy Diggle and Jonathan Hickman trying to one-up one another? Miguel Sepulveda and Alessandro Vitti out for blood? Something tells me this is going to get messy."

As two of Marvel's most acclaimed series cross paths, Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Secret Warriors and Thunderbolts. The Secret Warriors versus The Thunderbolts—and the Marvel Universe wil be rocked to its core!
