What the ?#@$%? happen to SW #10?

You're not going to find a bigger fan of the new Secret Warriors book than me. I've loved it and truly enjoyed it each month. It has been one of the few books that I still get excited when it's in my stack.

Now maybe it's just me, but what the fuck is up with #10? I loved the whole idea leading up to this issue but I can't make heads or tails of what's going on. I feel like I've missed #9 or something. I'm going to have to go back and check out the previous few issues to make sure I'm not missing anything. The art sucks compared to the other issues and most of this book is a re-telling of a couple of different books. I've still never grasped the fact that Ares and Hercules are on earth and are supposed to be "gods" that are somehow not apart of Asgard and Thor's mythos, it's like they've got separate religions and faiths going on at the same time. But that's fine because you've got other types of "gods" like in the Iron Fist books or Dr. Strange. I've accepted that there are just "gods" and all types of "gods", it don't make sense but I'll go with it.

But I want Nick Fury to be kicking as and taking names. It feels like in one issue we've gotten away from Fury's storyline and into some strange direction about the god of fear and how he comes to be, which really isn't explained well. It touches on two swords and I can't tell what is what? Then at the end Ares says that the kid has to die anyway? What the fuck?!?!

I don't mind deep stories but I'm a comic book reader. If I wanted to have to figure stuff out and look deep into a story to understand it, I'd read a big book with no pictures. I'm not giving up on the series or anything but to plunk down $2.99 for a recap and some pages of shit I don't understand, well that's not fair. Especially when the book has been so good. It's not like one of those books you buy and you know it's going to be shit but you buy it anyway just in case or maybe you'll get around to reading it. I expect this book to be good in the way that when you're done, you're pissed and want more. Now I'm just confused and don't know what to do next, like after you lose your virginity. Again, maybe it's just me. We'll see what #11 brings us.
