Each and every issue of Secret Empire has featured some big twists and turns and today's fifth instalment saw the return of two very familiar faces. The series once again took us to the weird dreamscape where an amnesiac Steve Rogers has been trapped (seemingly alongside versions of Bucky and War Machine, both of whom had dealings with the Cosmic Cube lately before dying/vanishing) and it was there that the Red Skull - who HydraCap murdered in cold blood - reappeared ready for action.
What this means remains to be seen, but theories that the "real" Steve Rogers (or at least his essence) has been trapped within the Cube now seem to make perfect sense given the Red Skull's presence.
However, by far the biggest reveal came on the final page when we learned that Bruce Banner, a.k.a. The Hulk is alive and well. He was taken out by Hawkeye during Civil War II and his body was later taken into Hydra custody by Captain America but here is once again among the living and a weapon Cap plans on using against Iron Man and his Avengers to end the conflict with them once and for all!
What do you guys make of these latest developments? Let us know that in the comments section.
