The solicited cover for "Secret Warriors" #2 came with a clue

Eagle-eyed fans of Marvel Comics probably noticed a peculiar blemish on the Jim Cheung cover for “Secret Warriors” #2 in the publisher’s March solicitations. The image comes with a “post-it” note reading “eagleeye” and directing readers to the S.H.I.E.L.D. website agentofnothing.com.

Entering “eagleeye” into the only available text field unlocks the website -- clearly designed by “The Nightly News” creator and “Secret Warriors” co-writer Jonathan Hickman – which contains exclusive and previously unseen artwork from the forthcoming series; a link to Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited’s free webcomic “Secret Warriors” #0, which contains material from relevant issues of “Mighty Avengers” as well as pages from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Operations Database including agent profiles; and a special message from Nick Fury.

A Marvel spokesperson told CBR News, "Keep your eyes peeled. Nick Fury likes to hide passwords all over the place. A new nation requires a new message."

Now discuss this story in CBR's Marvel Universe forum.
