UNITED WE STAND - against the SECRET EMPIRE!
Rated T+
Like I said about CAPTAIN AMERICA #25, this comic felt really special. Everything is moving in a real positive direction with the heroes all rallying together for a final battle led by Sam Wilson. It made me exciting to read the last two issues of SECRET EMPIRE and really curious where Marvel is going to head in LEGACY. A few years ago, it seemed like Marvel was heading in this direction with THE HEROIC AGE, but that sort of fell to the wayside. Hopefully, this time they follow through entirely. Read Full Review
A fun, action packed issue that has the heroes finally getting a leg up on Hydra. Read Full Review
Overall, Secret Empire #8 is a fantastic issue thanks to the change in tone in both story and art, as well as being able to set the stage for an epic last two issues of Secret Empire. Read Full Review
The end is soon coming to a close and each side is stepping up their actions before the all out war. "Mr. Rogers break down this shield." Read Full Review
Secret Empire #8 has its flaws. The art quality isn't entirely consistent , and the overarching narrative is becoming messier the more Nick Spencer works to reflect the many tie-in books. But those problems are secondary to the sheer satisfaction earned from reading this pivotal new chapter. Daniel Acuna's pages are gorgeous, and he and Spencer effectively shift the tone of the series as a resurgent Sam Wilson lights the way for Marvel's heroes. Read Full Review
I dont want to give away too much here, because spoilers would really ruin the experience. There is so much payoff in this issue. Nick Spencer really plays tug of war with your heart. Just when you think everything might turn out okay, all hope is seemingly torn away once more, only to restore it again. If Disney and Marvel are truly planning on steering away from their alleged Marvel SJW agenda going forward from Secret Empire? Like the politics or not, this is a hell of a sendoff to that era.

There may only be a couple of issue left of this series, but Secret Empire #8 is the issue that takes off the gloves and heads towards the finish line. Read Full Review
This issue has the size and scope of everything we’ve come to know and love about Marvel events (the ones that we do actually know and love, anyway). But the poorly defined deus ex machina undercuts the action. It’s another instance where you have to wonder if the characters are just too distracted or too dumb to really think through their plans. Spencer wants so badly to give us a triumphant, hopeful ending but he’s almost giving us too long to think about whether or not that’s earned. That’s a weird spot to be with an event like this. With a shorter page count (and maybe some actual guidance regarding the tie-ins), Secret Empire had a shot to be more than just a decent Marvel event. With only two issues left, we can only hope that it reaches that bar. Read Full Review
This comic isfunctional. It has more high points than low points, but its badly hindered by the mounds of padding. Its one of the best issues of the series, even if thats not necessarily saying a whole lot. I can tentatively recommend it. Read Full Review
Secret Empire #8 was another mess of a read. Having said that, I loved the ending to this issue. And I am glad that Spencer finally engaged in some plot progression even if it lead to an imbalanced delivery of the story. The return of Bucky and Kobik marks the first time in this entire big event that my interest has actually been piqued. I will be looking forward to seeing what Spencer does with both characters in the final two issues of Secret Empire. Read Full Review
Oh wow, this could be my favourite Marvel event ever. It's all coming together now. No spoilers, I'll just say this one was moving and inspiring. Loved it.
I can't wait 4 the next issue SecretEmpire kickass
This issue had it all. Heavy hitting moments.. humor.. fantastic art. And it really solidifies all Spencer has been trying to do with his telling of Captain America. Great issue. Seeing Captain America in that air fight had to be my favorite moment. Acuna is a gem even if he does draw Groot like an anime character.
This was a great issue, to me it embodies what comics are and figuratively shows what Marvel comics are missing right now, lets hope they get it back after this series is over.
Oh look, heroes being heroes yeah!
Great work by Spencer and much better than the last one. Having Acuna doing the art made it beautiful to look at. Wish he was the artist for the whole thing.
마침내 승리를 향해서.
What an issue! I thought the art was great, probably the best of the series so far. The only real complaint I have is who is that blob dealing with Doctor Strange? That scene was kind of lame considering the high stakes of this whole event. Other than that, this issue seems like the turning point. It is good to see Sam Wilson be the hero that's needed to turn the tide. Overall, a good installment that makes me excited to see what happens. That last page!!!!!
Suffers from what the whole series has so far: too many characters, too busy, too much dialogue. That being said, it, like the other issues, has a killer surprise ending. The art is a bit average, but those who found all of this too gloomy will be pleased to see the heroes refuse to quit in their battle against Hydra. Inconsistent, but also with some pretty good parts.
I'm so happy to see this falling into place now. This issue felt hopeful and the story seems to be heading somewhere now. The art was better than usual, I still don't like how one artist can't draw a whole issue but Acuna did most of the issue which I appreciated. Like the characters in this event, I regained hope for this story.
Some triumphant Sam Wilson leadership Assembles some significant opposition to Hydrated America and Evil Cap. There's fun to be had here, but for an event that's gone on so long through so many tie-ins, the number of twists that show up as left-field dei ex machina is shameful. The Deadpool connection is tight, though. Some good panels from Daniel Acuña are counterbalanced by some woeful additional art that inhibits the enjoyment of the story.
