Exclusive Peek at Jonathan Hickman's Shield Holy crap this is going to be awesome. For those who can't or don't want to watch the vid. Shield is a limited series coming out next April, from Marvel. It tells the secret origin of SHIELD. The series starts in ancient Egypt, and runs through the 50s. It will feature some of the greatest people in history (they show someone who I'm pretty sure is Leonardo da Venci), defending the world from major threats (Galactus and the Celestials were mentioned.)
