• To celebrate the launch of this new series, Marvel compiled over 50 unique variant covers pairing an Avenger and a state of the United States of America; as well as Canada, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom. The covers were all drawn by Rod Reis, and fit together to form a 50-state picture of the American flag.
• Sam states he was born in Cameron County, Kentucky during his recruitment interview flashback; however, his birth was previously established to have been in Cumberland County, meanwhile the mine where his father worked himself to death, Pierce–Consolidated #7, was located in the nearby Appalachian Mountains of Cameron County.

Trivia

• The design of the Secret Empire costumes, though a continuation of previous red robe costume they've used, seems to be influenced by the designs worn by the Emperor's Royal Guard in "Star Wars", specifically in the headpiece design and their habit of holding long ornate staves.
