Titled simply SHIELD, the new series is to be written by Hickman, with artwork by Dustin Weaver, and will reveal the secret history of the organization. Apparently, the history of  S.H.I.E.L.D. goes back much further than previously imagined, and actual began in ancient Egypt. The series is set to show S.H.I.E.L.D.’s clandestine activities throughout the history of modern civilization, and will feature some of history’s greatest figures protecting the earth from threats like Galactus, and the Celestials.

According to Hickman, the series “feels like the best thing I’ve done”. SHIELD #1 is set to hit shelves in April 2010.

For the fact fans:

S.H.I.E.L.D. was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in Strange Tales #135 (Aug. 1965).

The acronym originally stood for Supreme Headquarters, International Espionage, Law-Enforcement Division, but was changed in 1991 to Strategic Hazard Intervention, Espionage Logistics Directorate. In the 2008 Marvel Studios films Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, the acronym stood for Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division
