With DC Comics' Wonder Woman wowing audiences last year, Marvel is finally playing catch-up.

There’s been one other thread amongst the chaos of Secret Empire that was finally unravelled this week. Revealed back in Civil War II, was a prophecy that Spider-Man would be responsible for the death of Captain America, as a vision showed Miles Morales standing with bloody fists above a beaten and apparently dead Steve Rogers. This week, someone did die.
