Secret #3 – 2013 pushes deeper into the murky waters of corporate espionage, moral ambiguity, and hidden agendas in this gripping series from Image Comics. Written by acclaimed creator Jonathan Hickman, with stylish, brooding artwork from Ryan Bodenheim, this issue continues to unravel a mystery where loyalty is bought, truth is buried, and the stakes are anything but ordinary.

In this third instalment, the tension ramps up as personal motives begin to surface amidst the professional power plays. Grant Miller, a former special operations agent now embroiled in high-stakes security work, finds himself drawn into a tangled conspiracy that stretches far beyond business. Hickman’s tight script, known for its layered complexity and slow-burn pacing, keeps readers on edge as motivations shift and characters begin revealing who they really are beneath the surface.

Ryan Bodenheim’s artwork adds an atmospheric edge, with sharp lines and moody tones that suit the story’s shadowy tone. The panelling is clean and deliberate, allowing the suspense to build steadily as the story unfolds through sharp conversations and loaded glances. The minimalist colour palette enhances the dramatic weight of each scene, giving it a noir aesthetic that complements the thematic grit.

Secret #3 is ideal for readers who enjoy intricate plots filled with secrets, strategy, and consequence. Fans of Hickman’s other cerebral work—such as East of West or The Manhattan Projects—will appreciate the same intelligent approach applied to a real-world thriller, grounded in brutal realism rather than science fiction.

This comic will be securely enclosed in an acid-free protective sleeve with a firm backing board to maintain its shape and safeguard edges and corners. It is then carefully packed in a heavy-duty cardboard mailer designed specifically for comic books, ensuring it reaches you quickly and in top condition.

Secret #3 – 2013 is a sharp, slow-burning tale of betrayal and manipulation—perfect for fans of crime thrillers, political dramas, and high-stakes intrigue.
