How Captain America: Steve Rogers #2 Rewrites Captain America: Sam Wilson #7 (SPOILERS)

And that's how you turn a sentient cosmic entity into Hydra's biggest fan. Through children's books and cuddly toys. Today's Captain America: Steve Rogers #2 explains that whole "Hail Hydra" cliffhanger from last issue.

And also puts a lie to those people claiming that Marvel has backtracked on this plot twist due to external pressure. It takes a long time to create this kind of comic book, and it's also not the kind of comic that can just be relettered to give a different take (see today's Spider-Man/Deadpool #6 for that kind of thing).

This was the scene from Captain America: Sam Wilson #7 a few months ago, in the heart of Pleasant Hill.

We later learned that Father Patrick was the Red Skull incognito. But today's Captain America: Steve Rogers #2 replays these scenes to show just how in control the Red Skull was, still in possession of Professor Xavier's mind-control powers, and puppet mastering the whole thing.

And so this scene, that led to such rejoicing at the time…

…now has to be seen in this context.
