[rwp-review-recap id="0"] *Ties into the Secret Empire crossover Another Secret Empire tie-in, yay! I know that's what you all were waiting for. I was actually kind of looking forward to Secret Empire: Underground #1 It has a lot of characters I genuinely like in it: Mockingbird, Hercules, Sam Wilson, and Ant-Man Quicksilver is really cool too, though he's[...]

Diamond's sales charts hit earlier this week, prompting a sequel to last month's controversy wherein everyone wondered whether DC's Button crossover running through Batman and The Flash actually beat Secret Empire #1 in total unit sales once the lenticular and non-lenticular versions of the DC comics were added together, just as they did last month[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] *Ties into the Secret Empire crossover Uncanny Avengers initially had a lot of promise when it first headlined Marvel NOW! way back in 2012 The first team — which grouped at-the-time underused characters like Havoc, Scarlet Witch, and Sunfire with mainstays like Captain America, Thor, Wolverine, and Rogue — seemed like a cool pairing of[...]

Okay, maybe it does, but later than we thought. August sees the publication of the extra edition of Secret Empire with a new issue turning the eleven issue series into twelve (#0, FCBD and #1-#10) Well, will this make it lucky thirteen? September will, apparently, see the release of Secret Empire Omega #1 from Marvel Comics Could this[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Secret Empire #4 cover With the latest issue of Secret Empire by Nick Spencer, Leinil Francis Yu, Rod Reis and Joshua Cassara, we get quite a change of pace from the series thus far. The story largely focuses on the opposing Avengers teams, the underground rebel Avengers led by the AI of Tony Stark, and the[...]

The latest issue of Secret Empire reveals another twist into the mix that is the Secret Empire forumla Namely, the reveal that someone on the anti-HydraCap Avengers is secretly a Hydra mole. So, just who is it? The obvious candidate might be Quicksilver. Especially given what he says in the issue, it would certainly imply that Hydra could[...]

So Brian Bendis has chosen for all his comics – Invincible Iron Man, Infamous Iron Man, Defenders, Spider-Man and Jessica Jones – not to be Secret Empire tie-ins, and left Guardians Of The Galaxy before it did that A number of characters in that book appear prominently in Secret Empire series, however, with Miles Morales,[...]

Nick Spencer writes Captain America and the Marvel super-mega-crossover event Secret Empire, about Captain America being a Nazi Besides the obvious similarities, such as lasting literary impact or all those times Shakespeare went down to the Globe theater to argue at critics who didn't like his plays, Spencer and Shakespeare have some other things in common[...]

Marvel have teased the final issue of Secret Empire this week, with the tagline of 'What is the Vanishing Point?' and with cover art taken from the Generations art created by Alex Ross. This obviously suggests that there is a closer link to Secret Empire and Generations than previously assumed, but just what is that link?[...]

Secret Empire: Uprising art by Ryan Stegman Back when Marvel first teased Secret Empire: Uprising, the Secret Empire tie-in series starring Marvel's merry mutants and showing us what Hydramerica holds in store for them, we saw a rebellious Emma Frost on the cover fighting back against Hydra's forces. It would be the character's first real appearance since[...]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who keeps typing "Secret Wars" when I mean "Secret Empire" I've even written "Secret Invasion" at one point. As do ABC News (twice) during their advertorial for Marvel Comics and Secret Empire, previewing the page above, we also learn that the Punisher-turned-Hydra will be going after the Champions in[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] *Ties in with the Secret Empire crossover Sam Wilson: Captain America is the best Marvel comic written by now-controversial writer, Nick Spencer, with Astonishing Ant-Man coming in at a close second. Sam Wilson has been a phenomenal book that has been more than willing to tackle heavy subjects with grace and tact (for the most part)[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] *Ties in with the Secret Empire crossover Jason Aaron and Chris Bachalo put together a really strong Doctor Strange series at the beginning of All-New, All-Different Marvel It was one of the many gems that initiative brought together, despite much of the backlash to it. The fact that the two were leaving did cause a bit[...]

The idea is based around a singular question: How is the battle-hardened and cynical Black Widow going to cooperate with this group of idealistic and naïve young heroes when the end goal is to kill Steve Rogers? That's a great idea and fits with Secret Empire's theme of dashed hopes and dark futures[...]

This isn't too surprising[...]

Baron Zemo tries to convince him that it's a good thing that he is so merciful, and Steve sends him out on a mission to find the pieces of Kobik. Clint and Natasha continue to debate how to go about ending the Secret Empire, and Hawkeye admits that he may never be able to bring himself[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="2"] As we all know by now, Marvel's Secret Empire has officially hit stores I'm not a big Marvel fan — I grew up a DC fan — but there was no way I couldn't read this book. The internet has been flooded with opinions, both positive and negative I know the basic premise is that[...]

The first sales numbers for Secret Empire are in, and while the book's #0 issue did land at the top of the charts for April, it wasn't the best selling or even second best selling single issue comic book of the month Both Batman #21 and The Flash #21, part of DC's The Button crossover, outsold[...]

Secret Empire will see it's culmination In the whole period, writer Nick Spencer and various editors at Marvel have assured that this isn't a clone, this isn't an alternate reality Steve Rogers, this isn't mind control This is the 'true' Steve Rogers, a 'fact' pushed forward with the zero issues revelation that in the Marvel[...]

Especially as Spencer is also painted as someone writing Nazi fantasies in Captain America and Secret Empire, making Steve Rogers a sleeper Hydra agent, no matter what his intent. I think there is some additional context to bear in mind 2005 is twelve years ago and a week is a long time in politics Nick Spencer[...]

In this case, he's lending both his name and his image to a new monthly subscription box from Box Boulevard, featuring four Marvel trade paperbacks with exclusive variants "personally curated" by Stan Lee, which also happen to coincide with the comics Marvel is promoting the most right now (Stan is a shrewd curator). Both old and new comics are[...]
