In hushed tones, voices laced with fear carry whispers of something horrifying and unexplained across Battleworld. He should be dead, but his legend is only growing stronger. One of the most vile villains in Marvel history is still drawing breath – and it’s none other than tyrannical Nazi, the Red Skull.

Coming to you from rising star writer Josh Williamson (Nailbiter, Birthright) and artist Luca Pizzari (Amazing Spider-Man Special) is Red Skull #1 – a brand new, limited Secret Wars series.

Banished by Doom to the Shield long ago, the Red Skull should be dead, fallen to either the ravenous zombies, Ultron’s robots or Annihilation bugs, but word has reached the other side that he still lives and is quietly amassing an army, getting ready to strike!

Now, an unlikely group of villains, composed of Magneto, Winter Soldier, Lady Deathstrike, Electro, Moonstone and Jack O’Lantern must venture to the far side of the Shield to find out the truth for themselves. Their only problem is that nobody comes back from beyond the Shield alive…

Red Skull #1 will be on sale in comic book shops on July 1st, 2015.
