Secret Empire was a polarizing super-mega-crossover event comic book which revealed that Captain America was secretly a Nazi, made him the leader of Hydra, and pitted him against the other heroes of the Marvel Universe.

Sales were down from past super-mega-crossover events, with even a minor Flash/Batman crossover defeating Secret Empire in sales charts. It was a bad idea.
