Secret Empire is Marvel’s next big arc and the house of ideas has worked non-stop to not only get comic fans amped for the event but also making sure that every title ties into the overall story in some capacity. Marvel announced today the opening salvo for Secret Empire which are three key issues fans will want to keep an eye as they prepare us for what is to come.
The first will be Captain America: Steve Rogers #16 which will be an oversize issue and will bring Captain America’s master plan to light. The next book will be U.S. Avengers #5 followed by Thunderbolts #12 which brings Baron Zemo back into the Thunderbolts mix which if you never read the original Thunderbolts run I recommend you do to get a clearer picture of Baron Zemo’s link to the group. All three issues will hit shelves on April 19th so if you’re counting down to Secret Empire you will want to grab these. Check out the covers below.
