If there’s a series that’s going to get me interested just based on the cover alone with the cast of characters involved, it’s going to be Howling Commandos of SHIELD. The new series kicks off on October 28th, 2015, properly Halloween themed of course, with writer Frank Barbiere and artist Brent Schoonover. The book gives us a new take on SHIELD after Secret Wars as it brings in some fun with the supernatural side that a select squad has to deal with.
Plot concept: Hidden deep beneath Area 13 lies the clandestine headquarters of S.T.A.K.E. – a top-secret division of S.H.I.E.L.D. housing aliens, mythical beasts and all manner of extra-normal entities. Under the command of the legendary soldier Dum Dum Dugan, these monsters will step out of the shadows to defend the world against all things that go bump in the night. Supernatural threats may be too much to handle for ordinary men and women, but this top-secret squad is anything but ordinary. Strap in, hold on, and get ready to meet the all-new, all-different Howling Commandos. Don’t miss HOWLING COMMANDOS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. #1 – on sale this October!
