Finished reading Captain America: Secret Empire, expanding upon the main events of Secret Empire by exploring more of the store of Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson with how they are being affected by the Marvel event. The book opens with Sam Wilson on the road after quitting Boeing Captain America when he hears the news that America has been taken over by a Steve Rogers lead Hydra. This leads to Sam beginning to help people leave the Hydra occupied country before a group of heroes including Scott Lang, who Sam help to get his daughter Cassie out of the country, have come asking for Sam's help with the hope to beat Hydra. Juxtaposed with Sam's story the book also focuses on Hydra's leader, Steve Rogers starting with him being interviewed by the same journalist who has interviewed him before during the first superhero Civil War. Before continuing with Steve's story as by showing how the Hydra leader deals with the political leaders of the world along with the people close to him. Overall this was a great book as it accompanies and expands upon the Secret Empire even extremely well by showing how the current state of the Marvel universe is having an effect on both Sam and Steve along with the people close to them. The Sam Wilson centric part of the book does a great job in showing where Sam has been since he stopped being Captain America and how the events of Secret Empire has made him question that discussion while showing how he has been helping people leave the country that is currently being lead by Hydra. While the Steve Rogers part of the book does a great job in showing how Steve's new role as the leader of Hydra is having an effect on the world around him as he's being questioned by the media, other political leaders and his former friends how have lost faith in him since being revealed as a Hydra agent. The art throughout the book is great as the entire art team is able to bring each of the very character driven stories to life extremely well thanks to the way that the books dialogue and the drama that comes with it is conveyed through the books artwork. 8/10.
