Marvel Comics Spoilers and Review for Secret Empire #5 follows.
The book opens with the summary page…
…and dramatis personae that gets readers caught up.
Secret Empire continues the march to Marvel Legacy and Captain America Steve Rogers’ supposed redemption. However, before that, he still needs be all evil as Captain Hydra.
He has a curious place to store Thor’s Mjolnir, which he has been deemed worthy to wield…
…while the Odinson still struggles to lift it as he is still the Unworthy Thor while Jane Foster, the Mighty Thor, remains MIA.
In the other place where a bearded Steve Rogers frolics with Buck Barnes (Winter Soldier) and Sam Wilson (the Falcon), they are felled by a returning villain who confronts “this” other Steve Rogers…
…the Red Skull!
And, in main story, we have another return. Hero or villain? Nick Fury, someone else?
Also, the other Steve Rogers as Captain America Hydra trying to end the resistance…
…by visiting Bruce Banner…
….who many thought died at the hands of Hawkeye. However, he is alive, which we anticipated since he is front and center in the Marvel Legacy teaser art along with classic versions of Captain America Steve Rogers, Iron Man Tony Stark and Odinson as Worthy and Mighty Thor.
So…
Overall another interesting issue that leaves more questions than answers.
