The last few issues of Secret Avengers have been done-in-one stories by Warren Ellis and a rotating cast of artists. It's been a pretty good read so far.

#20 came out yesterday, with art by Alex Maleev. After the Avengers get wiped out in the field, Natasha's the last one alive. She has a time machine. She has to save the rest of the team by changing history so subtly that no one realizes it's been changed at all.

One of her planned timejumps takes her to the 1960s.

For absolutely no reason, the book shifts into a three-panel comic strip layout for three pages for the sake of doing a "Modesty Blaise" shout-out. Maleev even signs the last panel like the late Jim Holdaway, the original artist on "Blaise."

I got a real kick out of it, particularly since Ellis and Maleev have to know that a good 90% of the people who read this issue will have no idea what they were going for here.
