Johann kills a Nazi in our EXCLUSIVE preview of Bring on the Bad Guys: Red Skull #1

A lot of Marvel’s classic villains have had face turns over the years. Magneto became the headmaster of Xavier’s school. Doctor Doom has saved the entire multiverse (for his own nefarious ends, but still). Heck, most of your Steve Ditko-created Spider-rogues have tried being a good guy at least once.

But the Red Skull? The Red Skull will always suck. Because he’s a Nazi. Eat s***, Johann.

Check out our exclusive preview of Bring on the Bad Guys: Red Skull #1, out next week, and keep scrolling for the basic deets.
