When Master Darque molds a being of unstoppable energy, it takes the full force of the Valiant Universe to rise up and oppose it: X-O Manowar, Eternal Warrior, Bloodshot, and Shadowman! As the very Earth itself screams in pain, Darque's deadly pact promises their deaths. With the whole world in the balance, the stakes have never been higher!

After becoming the present Geomancer, the eyes and ears of the Earth, Geoff McHenry discovers that he needs help in his personal mission to safeguard the Earth. Gifted with the misfortune to find trouble but also the sense to summon help in his causes, Geoff recruits Edward T. Sedgewick and Amanda McKee, two Harbingers tired of being manipulated by the Harbinger Foundation, to combat the evils that threaten the world as humanity’s Secret Weapons.

After the fall of the Weaponeer Organization, Colin King arranges for British Intelligence to find three battle suits of amazing power in the hope that they will put them to use against Webnet. Together, Sonar, Para-Man, Tank, and Mach. serve Queen and Country as the Secret Weapons.

Secret Weapons #1 is almost exclusively all set up with one rather cool scene in the middle. It begins with Fred Bender, a former villain of Solar’s who was left to die in Death Valley. He survives and goes to Master Darque, a Shadowman/Solar villain and occultist, to obtain powers again to kill Solar. Darque goes along with it since he wants Solar eliminated and Bender becomes Dr. Eclipse. He poses as Phil (Solar’s alter-ego) to try and sleep with his girlfriend, but she realises that it isn’t Phil quickly and calls for help, bringing Solar to the scene. The ensuing fight has Eclipse overpower Solar with ease, destroying him completely… except for his hand, which he then swallows whole while giving the oh-so-witty line of “Finger-lickin’ good.” The fight is done well and is a bit shocking since Solar is meant to have the power of god basically, so to have Eclipse dispatch him so easily sets the villain up as a major threat.

Meanwhile, Geoff is the Geomancer and he feels a disturbance/receives of a vision of the problem/I dunno, and begins to gather heroes to fight against Eclipse and Darque. So his scenes are mostly him going around and talking to various Valiant heroes — the ones that appear on the cover, basically. The only scene here that’s more than ‘serviceable’ is the one involving Aric, X-O Manowar… he wants to go hunting dinosaurs with Turok and doesn’t care if Solar can’t handle his business — until Geoff says that Gilad (Eternal Warrior) doesn’t think he could really be of any help, which, of course, gets Aric all fired up to help the cause. It’s so transparent, but that it works shows off Aric’s personality well.
