I personally have not read a lot of Valiant comics, only a handful, really, such as Rai and a bit of the crossover books. I understand that they share a universe so I was wondering if I would feel confused going into this new series. Just like the other things I’ve read though, Secret Weapons #0 does a great job of catching up new readers on the latest in the Valiant Universe. This is a very well done issue about Nikki Finch and her adventure in discovering her powers. It doesn’t open too much, outside of just being a story about a teenage girl who is a bit lost in where she wants to go in life as she turns 18. As I started going into this book I didn’t know anything about who this person is or really what it was going to be about. I just went in and hoped to enjoy myself. I have to say, as I kept turning the pages I was getting more and more involved with Secret Weapons.
I found myself really liking Nikki and I believe that her beginning struggles on where she needs to go in her life are something many people can find relatable.
By the time it ends, you feel really invested in Nikki and all of what she has gone through in the last few months with high school and her recruitment into something bigger. It all just leaves you wanting more.
