Either it's Bendis ignoring stuff again or some places have walls, others dont.

Or maybe Doom stuck them in an area that was specifically designed for them? I am perfecetly willing to accept DOOM'S WILL  as an explanation for any questions about Battle World.

The wall separates the zombie, Ultron, and Annihilation waves from the rest of Battle World, maybe the wastelands of OML are also walled off as well. Though it seems poor-planning on Doom's part to have to two X-Men domains right next to each other.

So I've picked up Thors, Marvel Zombies, and caught up with the core Secret Wars story and Ultimate End. Ultimate End is probably the least interesting of them all, but I'll give Bendis another chance because I think I've got some sort of Stockholm syndrome. Didn't think I'd like the zombies, honestly, but I wanted to see more of the Deadlands and it turns out Elsa Bloodstone is a lot of fun. Pretty happy with my purchases. And yes, Thors stands tall among them all.

I like the Carol Corps book. It was fun and a pretty broad overview of the situation and where it's going. I really liked the idea that everyone knows about stars but can't/has never seen them and that's their rationale for going "beyond". It's a good mix of defiance/curiosity. Unfortunately Captain Marvel was like the least interesting character in her own book.

I've been wondering how the cosmic Marvel characters factor into all this, such as Silver Surfer. We haven't seen anyone like him yet, have we? Or Thanos. Except in Infinity Gantlet. Which still hurts my head when I try to think about if just that one domain has Infinity Gems or every one does... moleman posted:If you're wondering how they eat and breathe and other science facts, just repeat to yourself "DOOM saved us all, I should really just relax."

The Shield is a really really big wall that divides the "good to merely bad" zones from the "really terrible" zones. The only things on the "bad" side of the Shield are: 1) The Deadlands, filled with zombies 2) Perfection, filled with Ultrons 3) New Xandar, filled with Annihilation Wave monsters Everything North of that isn't protected/blocked off by the wall, so even in the "good" zone you still have huge swaths of land controlled by various types of Hulks, supervillains, Sentinels, demons from hell, terrorists, Apocalypse, etc. They're shown to be warring in a lot of books, and are probably generally lovely neighbors. Old Man Logan is from a blighted hellscape ruled by a Nazi and inbred Hulk offspring. The zone he passed into is ruled by a genocidal supremacist. It doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility that someone might want to build a wall outside of God Doom's SHIELD wall. Or that some other zones might not have a wall. Or that sometimes the walls get blown up. Or that if there is any sort of miscommunication about passage between zones, it *might* be some random schlub writing a stupid MODOK comedy book that flubbed it? Whoops, I guess Chris Yost wrote the MODOK: Assassin issue? There have been so many cheap MODOK joke stories in SW already I'm getting them mixed up.

If creed is a good guy there then we know its Bendis being Bendis. Yeahhh AOA Iceman isn't a very nice guy either, yet he seems to be chillin with the good guys.

Judging by who's alive and that Sabretooth and Bobby haven't switched sides yet, it seems more like the Age of Apocalypse region is set early on in the story still. Bendis didn't get it wrong, he just set it early since setting it after Apocalypse falls wouldn't have made for an Apocalypse controlled region.

Sabertooth was only on Apocalypse's side at the very very beginning. We should see what the actual AOA miniseries is like and see if its just Bendis wanting OML fighting Sabertooth.

I think also that not everyone knows they're in their own realm in Battleworld, too. Or they don't know what else is out there.

If they go back to original AOA I will be fine with that. The Miniseries were garbage that retconed the more interesting parts of AOA.

Codependent Poster posted:They're dead. The Beyonders killed them. Doom and Strange show up at that same place later. I"m pretty sure Doom and Strange are well aware that Odinson and Hyperion fought the Beyonders and died (maybe on Doom and Strange's behalf). With them knowing the real Thor is dead is more then likely why all the cops are Thors

That, and even if they aren't as powerful as 616 Thor, an entire force of Thors is going to be one of the few things capable OF policing Battleworld.

Haven't been reading OML -- is Blink around at all in AoA-land that we've seen? Curious if they'll do anything interesting with her. Hell, they could giver her a Tallus and make it be important part of restructuring the universe somehow.

Law and Thorder is the most beautiful comic I've ever read. And while I'm really wary of the possibility of another fakeout like Odin/Maestro, the possibility of Loki having memories of the old multiverse has me incredibly hyped.

Yeah I've heard a lot of buzz about Ultimate Reed, when all I can think is the council of Reeds and how our Reed Richards with no family to anchor him should scare everybody God or Beyonder.

I'm far more interested in Reed vs Evil Reed. We've seen Reed go against Doom enough times already, but an evil version of himself? Surprisingly rare, if ever at all.

Edge & Christian posted:The characters who weren't some sort of [Squadron] Supreme [Power] analogues in that issue were all from the original New Universe, so presumably the New Universe? Dr. Zero and the Knights of St. George were from Shadowline. Nutopia is the New Universe. And then of course there was obviously Supreme Power, as well. I liked Squadron Sinister. It's the Justice Lords vs. Marvel's misfit toys. Re: Old Man Logan I don't think it's actually a wall he climbed. It seems more like the Wastelands are in a valley. Blink is with the early AOA X-Men and it all works continuity-wise with the original AOA.

Got back in town today from being gone almost a week and I checked out this week's tie-ins. My favorite was probably Squadron Sinister. Love to see the old Shadowline characters in there. I always had a fondness for St George as I had some of those comics as a kid and I have no idea where they came from but I liked them. Loved Thors, Runaways, Old Man Logan, and Attilan Rising as well. Didn't much care for Armor Wars though.
