Solicit Synopsis
RED SKULL AT HIS MOST SINISTER!
•A story of Red Skull’s ruthless past from the dark days of World War II…and what horrible future awaits Captain America as a result, thanks to a deal with the devil himself!
• Acclaimed writer and military-history buff STEPHANIE PHILLIPS (PHOENIX, SPIDER-GWEN: GHOST SPIDER) and moody, dynamic artist TOMMASO BIANCHI (THUNDERBOLTS: DOOMSTRIKE) dive deep into their dark sides–plus a thrilling backup by legends Marc Guggenheim and Michael Sta Maria!
Part FIVE of SEVEN Villainous One-Shots!Notes
- The Red Skull was not traditionally a member of Hydra in this period, as it was led by Baron Strucker, so this issue seems to be synergizing with history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Red Skull. The red Hydra symbol, as opposed to green, supports this.
- The MCU-inspired Hydra outfit could be an artistic error for the interiors of this issue. For the covers of this issue, including variants, and for the Red Skull's reappearance in Bring on the Bad Guys: Mephisto #1, he wears his classic outfit (with no Hydra symbols).
