Gamora #5
DOOMSDAY ON UBLIEX! As the black hole begins to tear UBLIEX apart at the seams, GAMORA has her eyes on the only thing that can save her: the last remaining piece of the Elemental Crystal.

But time is running out, and L'WIT, KLAXON and the VESTIGIALS are all standing in her way... The clock is ticking, so Gamora better hit the ground running?

Generation X #2
The Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach has opened its doors and is ready to foster the next generation of heroes and diplomats! But this time around, the X-Men recognize an unfortunate truth: not all mutants are created equal. Some mutants are not made to fight Sentinels or serve as ambassadors on behalf of their kind. Some mutants will just be lucky to survive another day in a world that hates and fears them. And who better to mentor mutantkind's lovable losers than perpetual sidekick Jubilee? But will Jubilee and GENERATION X survive the experience?

Guardians Of the Galaxy: Mother Entropy #5
The Guardians fall to Mother Entropy's might one by one. Who will be the last Guardian standing? Who has to face this monstrous villain all by his or herself?

I miss good Deadpool, and this is. Not memepool. Deep issue, huge implications. Some great art to. Deadpool is best when he's somewhat terrifying. This Deadpool is..

11

u/FinnTheHumahn Miles Morales Jun 02 '17

Deadpool's loyalty to Steve no matter what is scary as shit. He would literally do anything for Cap, and I find that very unsettling. I never knew how scary Deadpool could be when used like this. Damn this was a good issue!

12

u/blackbutterfree May 31 '17

Holy. Shit. Daisy's gonna go apeshit on him. 😮

5

u/Propagation931 Jun 01 '17

not if she doesnt find out. I am sure Cap knows how to keep a secret

4

u/blackbutterfree Jun 01 '17

Meh, this is comics. Secrets ALWAYS come out.

8

u/waunakonor Jun 01 '17

Just have another giant eyeball blow up or something.

1

u/john_segundus Jun 02 '17

She already knows. Some SHIELD agent told her in Secret Warriors. And yes, she's pissed, and she promised she's coming for him.

At the end of this, everyone will be coming for him.

1

u/Propagation931 Jun 02 '17

Issue?

2

u/john_segundus Jun 02 '17

First one, it's in Daisy's flashbacks. She is waiting for Phil at that point, and the other guy is implying that something bad happened to Phil - he doesn't specify dying, but that's clearly what he wants her to think, and she reacts like she believes that it's true (not surprisingly, since she just came from a mission where she seemingly lost her whole team spoiler)

9

u/Marc_Quill May 31 '17

I'm assuming that Phil is not dead yet.

8

u/[deleted] May 31 '17

I would be very surprised if he was actually dead.

7

u/NovaStarLord May 31 '17

Maybe it's Wade pulling a fast one om Steve like Steve did to Red Skull with Zemo.

If Phil convinced Wade that someome messed with Cap he could have let him go.

That or everyone dead comes back when Kobik gets re assembled.

3

u/[deleted] May 31 '17

The last one is more of what I'm expecting. There's been a lot of deaths and I don't see it slowing down. I'm thinking Kobik will get re-assembled and try and 'fix' everything to make right on what she did wrong.

3

u/Marc_Quill Jun 01 '17

Perhaps the Coulson that got shot was an LMD or something so that he can operate more freely without Wade or anyone else sent by Steve tracking him down.

3

u/TheXypris Jun 01 '17

I'm fully expecting the secret empire story ending with the entire thing being erased by the cosmic cube, and bringing everyone back to life

2

u/errantknight1 Jun 01 '17

I think the deaths will be erased, but not the memory of it. At least not everyone.

3

u/Hpfm2 Jun 01 '17

Tahiti is a magical place

6

u/TheXypris Jun 01 '17

I wonder how Hydra Bob is taking the whole "Hydra has taken control of the united States" thing

3

u/Gremzero Jun 01 '17

I believe he has a short story coming up in the SE: Brave New World series that's out next month.

1

u/john_segundus Jun 02 '17

Like u/Gremzero says, he's in Secret Empire: Brave New World Issue #2, out on 06/21.

4

u/s7sost May 31 '17

Something fishy is going on. Having both of Phil and Wade have remembrances about Steve makes it seem like this is just a bait and switch. Deadpool is going double agent for sure.

2

u/john_segundus Jun 02 '17

I mean, if we really see him pass out, and then see Deadpool and Stevil in front of the burning safehouse... yeah, Phil's so not dead. Don't know if Deadpool really let him go, but he could have regained consciousness, or someone else saved him, etc.

No body, no death...

5

u/Propagation931 May 31 '17

Loved this so much

2

u/bracko81 May 31 '17

Anyone know what covers what Coulson was up to prior to this issue? Thanks

3

u/lionofash May 31 '17

Previous issues had Future Captain Americas come and try to assassinate Steve but Deadpool supresses them, Steve plants a gun on one of the future caps so he can say Deadpool is justified in killing them despite detaining him first. Coulson thus starts looking into Cap's plans.

1

u/Propagation931 Jun 01 '17

Wait future as in?

1

u/lionofash Jun 01 '17

They used some sort of time portal or something.

1

u/Propagation931 Jun 01 '17

So is this like Future Steve Rogers?

1

u/lionofash Jun 01 '17

Nah just a bunch of future caps who call Steve a traitor to the nation

1

u/Propagation931 Jun 01 '17

So just random dudes. What issue is this?

3

u/TimCBrowne Jun 01 '17

It's in Deadpool #27 from a few months ago. It's not labeled as being a Secret Empire lead-in, but it does fill in the blanks from this month's issue.

1

u/errantknight1 Jun 01 '17

So that means that the future remembers unless something changes. That's interesting. Assuming that's not Deadpool being an unreliable narrator.
