On Sunday, Secret Empire writer Nick Spencer was stuck at the airport, waiting on a flight. https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/896964713401139200 What better way to pass the time than with some political tweeting? https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/896975538119614466 https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/896977327065714688 But Twitter, a temperamental beast, decided to respond by bringing up some inconvenient comparisons: the pictures of Nazis in Captain America costumes… so fucked up :( — kaua-e-aru-hīrere the porcu-bear (@thelittlepakeha)[...]

It is so weighed down with unnecessary padding that it threatens to drown Secret Empire at every turn. While #8 does have some satisfying moments of the Underground, the Defenders, Alpha Flight, the Ultimates, and the Guardians of the Galaxy finally rallying together to bring down Hydra, the good points are scattered throughout the miasma of[...]

The plot is a little unfocused and most of it is spent in Sam Wilson’s headspace, but Sam Wilson: Captain America #24 still has some great moments.

Twitter shares have dropped more than 11% following a 30-plus-day dearth in Bleeding Cool articles about Nick Spencer's tweets. There was a time, not so long ago, where we couldn't go a week without publishing a Nick Spencer Fanboy Rampage article Sometimes more than one The superstar Marvel writer transitioned seamlessly from producing daily hundred-tweet rants[...]

And how will it affect the Marvel Universe as we know it? Head[...]

I'd say Secret Empire #5 broke me, but, in truth, it finished off the culmination of problems that had been inherent to the story since even before it's beginning. In the back half of my review of Secret Empire #5, I pointed out that Nick Spencer's big blowout story is a decently good story, but it's[...]

Recently, we heard from a pretty good source that Nick Spencer was going to be writing a Spider-Man ongoing series to follow the conclusion of Secret Empire I speculated that Spencer may take over Spectacular Spider-Man Or start a new title, with the recently trademarked Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man But said source who has proved pretty[...]

Writer Nick Spencer, before he was fighting off critics of his work on Twitter (which is still not good behavior), was busy pissing off Fox News with his first issue of Sam Wilson: Captain America, which was a comic that put the anti-immigration crowd on blast by making them the Sons of the Serpent (Marvel's[...]

The exit of two of Marvel's most outspoken employees will have fans cherishing the twitter accounts of Dan Slott and Nick Spencer, lest they leave too and Marvel have no one left to carry the torch of arguing with fans on the internet. Before he left, Wacker left fans with one final shocking revelation. "PS: BTW, I've[...]

Could this be why Black Widow thinks he could be used to win them the war with Herr Rogers? Only time will tell with Secret Empire, the comic book event with a major massive reveal every issue guaranteed! Thanks, Nick Spencer!     Secret Empire #5 is out now and with it a couple reveals of resurrections (and[...]

And that it might be written by Donny Cates, getting a lot of comic industry attention, and surprise-co-writing last week's issue of Captain America: Steve Rogers with Nick Spencer. Speculation that may just have unearthed what is actually going on, Not saying that Cates won't be writing Captain America and some point After all, we have[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Secret Empire #4 cover With the latest issue of Secret Empire by Nick Spencer, Leinil Francis Yu, Rod Reis and Joshua Cassara, we get quite a change of pace from the series thus far. The story largely focuses on the opposing Avengers teams, the underground rebel Avengers led by the AI of Tony Stark, and the[...]

Nick Spencer writes Captain America and the Marvel super-mega-crossover event Secret Empire, about Captain America being a Nazi Besides the obvious similarities, such as lasting literary impact or all those times Shakespeare went down to the Globe theater to argue at critics who didn't like his plays, Spencer and Shakespeare have some other things in common[...]

(X-Events, Spider-Events, and so on.) — Avoid Murder Hornets, Stay Home (@DanSlott) June 4, 2017 And finally, Secret Empire writer Nick Spencer joined the fray… I think properly built events are great, Ex: Secret Empire When they aren't properly built like Civil War 2 they do more harm than good. — Jack Schmit (@WithSchmit) June 4, 2017 Just in time to[...]

Superstar writer Nick Spencer took a break from arguing with anyone who criticizes Marvel Comics or Nick Spencer on Twitter to tweet live on location from a Ryan Adams concert at the Greek Theater in LA: https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/871214793171935232 Spencer had high praise for Adams: https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/871221651618144256 And wanted to offer his gratitude: https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/871247037395648512 And Adams, who has been known to make a comic[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] *Ties in with the Secret Empire crossover Sam Wilson: Captain America is the best Marvel comic written by now-controversial writer, Nick Spencer, with Astonishing Ant-Man coming in at a close second. Sam Wilson has been a phenomenal book that has been more than willing to tackle heavy subjects with grace and tact (for the most part)[...]

Stick around if you want to read that. Nick Spencer has succeeded in creating an intensely bleak atmosphere in this story It's been a rough read because of that, but the storytelling quality is there. Andrea Sorrentino's artwork is sublime in this issue, and I wish he were the regular artist on this book We'll come back[...]

Nick Spencer is taking a break from political tweets But sometimes, you just need a break from taking a break That's why Spencer took a break from taking a break from political tweeting to politically tweet that human civilization's social fabric is degrading Spencer was tipped off to the worsening state of the social fabric by[...]

If you have a super power (or are a mutant) and you don't register, you're taken hostage. Nick Spencer builds on this new world order with grace and ease, along with a healthy dose of looming danger and dark humor In a lot of ways, this issue reminds me of The Man In The High Castle[...]

How do we know this has happened? Because Marvel writer Nick Spencer is on Twitter responding to it. Though Spencer doesn't mention it specifically, he is most likely responding to an article that appeared in The Atlantic earlier in the day, written by Asher Elbein, titled "The Real Reasons for Marvel Comics' Woes," or to the general[...]

There was an excellent selection of diverse comic and toy creators, though I would have liked to have seen a few more comics dealers. Midtown Comics sponsored the event, and brought a good array of talent with them, such as Nick Spencer, Greg Capullo, and Scott Snyder On the toy side, Clutter brought in Simone Legno, Jeff[...]

It didn't last long. But the language used may also apply to the Israel/Palestine situation where Israel does not officially recognise Palestine, and while Palestine recognises Israel's existence, it does not recognise its right to exist. Though, with the Secret Warriors in their own comic, today, heading to New Tian to meet the X-Men, if the state really didn't recognise[...]

As we all probably expected, Marvel has just announced an additional issue of Nick Spencer and Friends' epic Hydra Steve story: Secret Empire #10, due out in August The issues of Secret Empire that have already been solicited have all been solicited as "of 9." "[Writer] Nick [Spencer] has constructed each issue of SECRET EMPIRE so that it[...]

Like it or not, most times, you are the ad campaign. — Nick Spencer (@nickspencer) April 1, 2017 A Marvel classic: it's the job of readers to promote comics (and then, by extension, is it the fault of readers if a book is canceled?) Spencer brought his thoughts back to the present: https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/864171243867586560 https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/864191195852922880 https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/864191928052531200 Trickle Down Economics for the comics industry[...]

In the whole period, writer Nick Spencer and various editors at Marvel have assured that this isn't a clone, this isn't an alternate reality Steve Rogers, this isn't mind control This is the 'true' Steve Rogers, a 'fact' pushed forward with the zero issues revelation that in the Marvel Universe, according to Secret Empire at[...]

In a widely shared piece on the blog, The Shallow Brigade, writer Kim O'Connor has continued to look at the current reputation Nick Spencer is gaining online as a writer and a social media commentator, and contrasted and compared it with his earlier political career, standing for the Charter Party in Cincinnati local elections in 2005,[...]

Though Secret Empire #0 topped the chart according to Diamond's listing and writer Nick Spencer's twitter, it was not actually been the top selling comic According to the recently released Top 100 index from Diamond, both Batman #21 by Tom King and Jason Fabok and The Flash #21 by Joshua Williamson and Howard Porter, part of DC's The Button[...]

And the image of a now-fascist Captain America lifting Mjölnir aloft… But with the knowledge that Scarlet Witch is being controlled? And Vision? And perhaps they are connected to the ability to use Mjölnir now? It makes up for a lot. Writer Nick Spencer and Marvel pushed back considerably to every concern presented to them, insisting we didn't have the[...]

"You like me! You really like me!" was the theme of beleaguered comic book writer Nick Spencer's Twitter feed Friday morning after Diamond's sales charts revealed Secret Empire #0 took the #1 spot for the month*, helping Marvel to a victory in dollar share, unit share, and percentage of top ten Yay! However, Secret Empire's win must come[...]

I have not cared for Nick Spencer's HydraCap plot Not because it is bad structurally, or even necessarily badly written – technically, Spencer has pulled off the reveal and build of this long running plot to this major event with aplomb and skill that is, frankly, rare to see in Marvel events these days However,[...]
