Secret Empire #5 – Sorrentino Variant – 2017 continues Marvel’s dark and daring crossover event, delving further into a world where Steve Rogers, corrupted by Hydra, leads a regime that has fractured the superhero community. This issue marks a turning point in the resistance’s struggle, with shifting alliances, unexpected betrayals, and rising stakes across the globe. The stunning variant cover by Andrea Sorrentino adds a moody, cinematic edge that perfectly captures the grim tone of the storyline.
Written by Nick Spencer, the issue weaves together multiple plot threads, balancing personal conflicts and large-scale action. With Earth's defenders divided and hope wearing thin, characters like Black Widow, Sam Wilson, and The Underground begin to take more drastic steps to combat Hydra’s dominance. Sorrentino’s artwork, featured on the variant cover, is highly sought after for its textured composition and evocative visual style, making this edition a standout collector’s item.
Inside, the interiors by Leinil Francis Yu and colourist Sunny Gho deliver kinetic, impactful sequences, from covert operations to explosive confrontations. The narrative tension remains high as Hydra’s grip tightens, while hints of a larger cosmic plan start to surface, foreshadowing twists yet to come.
Ideal for fans of Marvel’s more politically charged storytelling, this issue blends moral complexity with traditional superhero spectacle. The Sorrentino Variant makes this edition especially desirable for collectors who appreciate bold artwork and limited print run variants.
Your copy will be carefully enclosed in an acid-free protective sleeve with a sturdy backing board to maintain its condition. It will then be packaged in a strong, cardboard mailer specifically designed to protect comic books in transit. Dispatched quickly, with attention to both presentation and preservation.
Secret Empire #5 – Sorrentino Variant – 2017 is a key instalment in Marvel’s dark epic, combining pivotal narrative developments with standout variant artwork worthy of any serious collection.
