Sentinel Red posted:I saved all last week's releases for a long train journey and oh man, Elsa Bloodstone vs the Marvel Zombies is everything I want and need right now. Can we just keep Battleworld for a few years longer? It's just so much more fun. Oh I forgot to mention that one earlier. It ended up being one of my favorite tie-ins of all. Elsa Bloodstone is awesome is and that book was great.

Ghostlight posted:616 Thanos is in the main Secret Wars title. redbackground posted:Uh, he's been one of the main supporting characters throughout Hickman's entire run. He's made an appearance in each issue of Secret Wars, too, iirc. True. But there's also a Thanos in the Infinity Gauntlet SW comic, which is the Thanos I was referring to. edit: I don't think I made that very clear. What I had meant was that we haven't seen doubles of cosmic characters around Battle World, like Surfer. I'm aware 616 Thanos is a survivor of the Incursion.

Frankly Arron took a poo poo all over Fury as this master tactician and schemer by just giving him god killing doodads instead of poo poo like him manipulating Kree and Skrulls into a war to keep them out of earth's business.

So now that we are almost 2 months into this thing, as there been any idea on which secondary titles will be important to the main story? I have been picking up a smattering of different titles every week, and it seems like these are the ones that will have more of an effect on the main Secret Wars issues: Ultimate End - pretty obvious since it is the two main universes thrown together Old Man Logan - Seems to have larger implications based on where they are going Guardians of Knowhere - despite it still being a month away, it is a Bendis title and features the Guardians heavily Infinity Gauntlet - I haven't read it yet, but it looks like it pretty clearly DOES NOT involve Thanos from the Cabal and the infinity gems A-Force - The first issue seemed to have some implications for crossing borders and involving other territories Thors - Battleword mystery that crosses over territories Inhumans: Attilan Rising - Another mystery that crosses into several territories Any other series I should include (or take off the list)? Like I said, I am just trying to compile a list of titles that will be important to the main storyline (or look like they are headed that way).

I think Secret Wars by itself will have everything you need if all you care about is following the plot, if I'm not mistaken no one from either raft has appeared in any tie-in, and I think most of the story is going to be the interaction between the rafts, Strange and Doom. Buy the tie-ins that seem most interesting to you on their own merits, very few of them have gotten bad reviews so far.

Ultimate End - important since its the end of the Ultimate Universe Old Man Logan - joining Marvel Universe so yeah it is important Guardians of Knowwhere Bendis and not sure if he is off Guardians Infinity Gauntlet - Thanos is part of the life raft so this is most likely an oddity. A force - already announced that its continuing past the event Thors - Aaron and Jane Foster Thor is on the boat Inhumans - will be an important part and writer is continuing on title after the event.

Yeah, I am definitely going to continue buying the tie ins I enjoy regardless of impact. I just figured having a small list of secondary books for people that come onto the event mid way through and wanted to read somewhat relevant stuff would be helpful. I can't remember the last time Marvel did an event without at least a few secondary titles that provided detail on stuff in the main title. But so far, like you said, it seems like being able to just read the main Secret Wars will be enough for some people. El Tortuga posted:Is it the actual 616 Thanos, or just a Battle World double? I feel like if it was THE Thanos, then it would've been made more obvious. I also wasn't sure of this myself, but it seems I was wrong. I was just going under the assumption that everyone on the Cabal life raft (that Doom and Strange knew about, IE not Ultimate Reed or Miles) did not have a double in Battleworld. But that was an assumption completely made up on my own, so I am probably pretty off base. I haven't read the Inhumans yet, so if Maximus is in that as well, then obviously I am completely wrong. This is wrong, there are multiples of individuals on the Cabal life raft redbackground posted:No it doesn't. At all. I updated my original post to mention it is a different Thanos. Like I said, I had only read the synopsis online and it was one of the series I haven't been picking up. Havoc904 fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Jun 23, 2015 |

Yeah, like I mentioned, I assumed (for no real reason) that the Cabal life raft didn't have multiples, not that the other didn't as well. It was a wrong assumption, so I can edit my previous post if it is just going to muck up a page with people correctly saying I am wrong. I guess I just liked the idea of a Doom/Strange alliance deciding that they had no room for the Cabal people on Battleworld.

Yeah, I guess when your kids have a pet Galactus, having a couple of Thanos running around isn't that big of a problem. Much like there being no Reeds, I hope there aren't any Namors running around since Doom still feels snubbed about being his second choice after the Cabal blew up in his face. I really hope we get an ongoing series after this event that fills in everything about Doom and Strange building Battleworld to where it is. They mentioned something like 8 years having passed since Strange initially found the raft with Reed, Starlord & the others, right?

He is kind of lame and I haven't read a story where they did anything interesting with him. Its probably because making an evil version of a character who is already kind of a prick is a little pointless. CharlestheHammer fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Jun 23, 2015 |

I wish we got more of Ultimate Reed in Hickman's Avengers run, going from him meeting the Cabal to just being part of the team was a bit sudden. We needed a Bendis style breakfast table scene to show him interacting with them a bit more.

In the same way that DC's Convergence was bad, this Secret Wars event is turning out to be really good. I picked up a bunch of the crossover books and haven't read a single one I didn't like. Even the retro X-titles are good. I'm excited to see what the "new" marvel continuity will look like - I thought the Ultimate Marvel line was just about perfect for a while. Anyway in what comic do we find out how Doom fought against the Beyonders destroying Multiple Men and started the whole thing? I read this on Internet but cannot find the issue where it is explained.
