What has become the norm, Marvel and or DC Comics spoiling the ending of an important comic book days before its release, happened again on Monday when ‘The New York Times‘ revealed images for Secret Empire #10.
Spoilers are ahead, and we respect your reading experience, but begrudgingly we have to cover the news when it breaks.

As you can tell, Captain America is back in all his glory, and he’s brought a friend, Mjölnir. Steve McNiven’s work never disappoints, the movement is brilliant.
It is a fascinating move by Marvel to not give a quote to ‘The New York Times’ from the writer of Secret Empire, Nick Spencer. The guy received death threats over the book! Marvel either, didn’t trust ‘The New York Times’ or Spencer to represent the company properly. Instead, editor in chief Axel Alonso took the lead and defended the storyline.
“We understood the story would challenge readers, but we also know how it ended. We also thought the story had something important to say about democracy, freedom and the core American values that Captain America embodies. Any parallels to the current political climate have been coincidental. Marvel had no idea that Secret Empire would end “at a time when our country would be engaged in — let’s call it heated debate — about fascism,” said Alonso to ‘The New York Times.’
This announcement also comes on Jack Kirby’s 100th birthday (Is nothing sacred anymore?).
