>In what is becoming a yearly tradition, Marvel Comics has added an extra issue to its summer event series Secret Empire, with issue 10 arriving in August.
>“[Writer] Nick [Spencer] has constructed each issue of Secret Empire so that it ends with a climactic twist or a big reveal or a shocking development, and issue #9 is no exception,” Executive Editor Tom Breevort disclosed in an interview with Marvel.com. “So moving into the finale, with issue #10, the heroes across the Marvel Universe will be pushed to the breaking point as we race to the exhilarating climax we’ve been planning for months. Oh, and let me say again: we’re not going to use the Cosmic Cube to simply reverse everything away—the stakes matter, maybe more than they ever have before.”

Thor's face doesn't look like the face of defeat.

Ah, Bendis' method
Isaiah Turner
THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
Luke Edwards
THE MARVEL UNIVERSE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!

>we’re not going to use the Cosmic Cube to simply reverse everything away >the stakes matter, maybe more than they ever have before
Well when they put it that way, I'll totally believe them now! Just like how it was D.C's fault or the forced diversity that crumpled Marvel's sales into the shitter instead of the writing and editing incompetence.
It will likely be another ass-pull bigger than Bendis jerking off a donkey.
Thomas Scott

What's the point? Spencer already ruined the whole thing by bringing the real Cap and invalidating Hydra Cap.

AWWW SHIT WHO HERE UP FOR MOBILE GAME SYNERGY?!
Not me, I just wanted to ask and see if anyone else was.

Isaac Morris

Brayden Green

Samuel Green
user, don't you realize that this time NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME™
Bentley Gray
>with issue 10 arriving in August You mean in December, after Legacy launch?
Luis Martinez
>the stakes matter, maybe more than they ever have before
So Hydra conquering America matters more than the multiverse being destroyed.
Angel Jones
>Well when they put it that way, I'll totally believe them now! 'Member when Spider-Man unmasked in the first super hero Civil War? 'Member how they said that it was a lasting change and they, and I quote, "wouldn't just magic it away"? 'Member how, less than a year later, he made a deal with Mephisto and LITERALLY MAGIC'd IT AWAY??
Yeah.
Grayson Sullivan
Except for the creative teams. The creative teams will remain the same. Especillat Slott on ASM. >Slott will never leave ASM >Slott will still be writing ASM a hundred years from now
Dominic King
Why the fuck is Slott still on Spider-man? Why not anyone else?
Jordan Mitchell
Slott will probably literally die before he stops writing Spider-man
Nolan Myers
It's all he really has going for him. He'll only stop when he either dies or somehow crosses the line and gets fired.
Xavier Gray
Is Slott married?
Lucas Perez
There's a game called "Contest of Champions" in it they made an OC called the Civil Warrior where Steve incorporates Tony's tech to himself after Civil War where Tony dies instead of Steve.
Levi Torres
Google says no
Brody Evans
can't someone higher up just take him off of it? Is ASM still selling well enough to warrant Slott staying on?
Henry Diaz
>Oh, and let me say again: we’re not going to use the Cosmic Cube to simply reverse everything away—the stakes matter, maybe more than they ever have before.”
They're scrambling to find a new ending after fans guessed exactly what they were gonna do, huh?
Gavin Morales
>the stakes matter, maybe more than they ever have before Sure, Tom Sure
Lucas Garcia
>Oh, and let me say again: we’re not going to use the Cosmic Cube to simply reverse everything away
You can't pretend that you didn't start this whole fucking event by doing this!
Liam Peterson
It's from "What if : Civil war" comic
Jacob Nelson
It's Marvel's highest seller (that isn't a #1, or an event book, or a Star Wars comic), but at the same time sales have dropped.
Luke Thompson
Is nobody gonna discuss the fact that it says "classified" on the logo? What's it hiding?
Landon Ortiz
who the fuck knows
who the fuck cares
Benjamin Gonzalez
A big, grey clitoris... Or captain america's classic shield. I'm going for the clitoris.
Aiden Wilson
I'm still going to read this. The story has been super great so far
Bentley Brooks
...
Michael Green
...
Dylan Martinez
Fucking yes.
Best event, kill all faggots.
Christian Anderson
Enough with the astroturfing, Spencer.
Noah Baker
Man, if Marvel claims that it needs another issue to wrap up this whopping story, I trust them! We've already seen the Marvel Universe shaken to its core with the Civil War, can it really regroup and rebuild once Steve Rogers is defeated?! Jeez, Marvel keeps on surprising us with its -
- fuck this I can't even bring myself to bait. Marvel comics has completely lost it over realizing it's just an IP farm now and the actual characters are in the movies now and taken care of there in the public eye and not it. So now it's in death throes throwing out "shocking" shit in an effort for attention. Christ.
Justin Collins
>The last three major events have had extra issues
Mason Price
Where is Clint? Shouldn't he be there?
Charles Evans
probably dead
Austin Anderson
What's the point anymore?
Leo Mitchell
meh. it's just going to suck no matter how many issues
Zachary Young
When do we get the delays to push this well into the next event?
Gavin Reed
No.. Not again... Sigh. Please, not again. Or if you kill him, give him some nice dead and bring him back with interesting baggage, damn.
Xavier Rogers
Maybe Wanda will gets power boost and poof everything back?
Gabriel White
I wonder, if delays get bad, will Legacy come out before the end of SE?
Brody Wright
I can already imagine the smug Twitter posts saying "well we didn't lie about the ending not being a COSMIC CUBE reality rewrite"
Parker Reyes
Fucking Marvel.
Jordan Jenkins
Based Cap. First he kills Vegas, then he goes full Hydra End Boss.
At this point I'm expecting him to have a sabre on hand. And a cape. That is the US Flag. And he steals Redwing because of shits and giggles.
Wyatt Edwards
Go back to tumblr, nutter boy.
Excuse me havebto laugh at people who thought cap was really evil.
Nathan Gray
>the stakes matter, maybe more than they ever have before Why do they keep saying this?
Jaxson Ross
>please keep buying this
Zachary Nguyen

Andrew James
Shame John Cygan died only a few days ago.
Ian Collins
Which is weird since apparently Spencer is staying on Captain America (somehow?)?
Nathan Taylor
Not the costume it isn't or the "Civil Warrior" schtick.
William Campbell
I'd say "Never Change, Marvel" but I do really want them to changed quite a bit.
Well, Sam isn't in the picture, is he?
Luke King
Is it an epilogue?
Matthew Torres
Wait, what?! No! He was the best one!
Jayden Jackson
Good cap will beat him up.
Thomas Edwards
What cover is more overused, "Heroes lie unconscious at triumphant villain's feet" or "Two groups charge at each other from opposite sides?"
Nicholas Price
Your whines are overused. Stay mad lil bitch.
Jeremiah Garcia
Your comeback has left me and other whiners unconscious at your feet.
Isaiah Cooper
your name is overused
Caleb Young
>Oh, and let me say again: we’re not going to use the Cosmic Cube to simply reverse everything away
He's not lying. He just pulled in a clean version of Steve Rogers from another universe to replace Captain Hydra.
Austin Robinson
Do you mean just from Marvel or both companies? If just Marvel, it's probably two groups charging.
