Marvel Prepares For… Age Of Hydra?

Published Mon, 19 Jan 2015 11:30:07 -0600

It was the name of a rather fun fan-fic-editing project (see below). But it is also where Captain America is heading… Age Of Hydra.

Marvel's solicitations for April's All-New Captain America set it up:

Baron Blood vs Captain America, Hydra's war is won, and Zemo's atrocities continue.Sam Wilson will earn his strips–the single greatest sacrifice in a lifetime of them–and he will never be the same again. The end of the first story arc that sets the stage for the coming Age of Hydra.

And there is plenty of Hydra action across solicitations such as Avengers: Millenium, we told you about a bit ago:
