And Scott and Emma is the couple behind Jess and Carol. The Tumblr states not all couples are romantic, Like i'm sure Mangeto and Chuck and the aformentioned Carol and Jess are just friends enjoying themselves.

Howard the Human was great, even with uncomfortably erotic cats.

Age of Ultron took a turn for the :stonk:.

Secret Wars Journal was enjoyable but not particularly essential.

1872. What the gently caress. :stonk:

Captain Britain surprised me by wrapping up in two issues.

Runaways was fun. Could have done with more Valeria but oh well.

Weirdworld was outstanding as usual.

Secret Love was :3:

Yeah, I'm genuinely bummed that one was so short. The pacing was fine and I fuckin' loved it, but man, I still wish it were longer. I'm sure they could have managed if they'd wanted.

poo poo, I want an ongoing of it. I mean, I guess eventually the novelty of "Judge Dredd but with Marvel dudes" would wear off, but ... :allears:



House of M was pretty great despite the sometimes-spotty art. I'm hyped as hell to read more of this one.

God, I'm gonna miss Secret Wars.

Do we know how many issues it's running? I kinda assumed it was starting late to balance out the titles that are finished already since the last main SW book isn't til October, isn't it?

Yeah, I'm not even a little tired of all these Secret Wars. I'd love for Marvel to always be doing at least one alternate-universe mini at all times.

Yesterday it occurred to me that none of these wars are even secret at all and that the name makes no sense. Then I remembered that it's named after an event that was named because the words "Secret" and "Wars" tested best with a focus group of kids back in the 80's and so the original event name makes no sense.

This is all true. However:

At that time, Jonathan had an idea for a book that would be called Secret Wars but actually ended up being the story, in a way, he’s told so far in Avengers and New Avengers. The Illuminati, dealing with alternate universes and incursions… it all goes back to the middle of Secret Warriors as an idea of his. When the opportunity arose for him to take over the Avengers book, he said he’d like to do that story here and tailor it for the two titles structurally. Had that not have happened, he probably would have officially pitched doing a series containing that story called Secret Wars or something else.

The original thinking was that each of these incursions amounted to being a Secret War. Two Earths coming together and in eight hours, one of them is dust. It’s come to mean something slightly different now with what we’ve done in Avengers and New Avengers and, of course, Secret Wars.

I was secretly holding out that there would be some mention of Star Wars in one of the books. Or maybe even a crossover between the universes, it just seems like a perfect time to do a fun little thing like that.

I think Brevoort means that Hickman had the idea of the incursions while writing Secret Warriors but didn't plan on using the idea in that book specifically. Because you're right, it wouldn't have fit in Secret Warriors at all.

Please, if Nick Fury was on the job, there wouldn't have been all this hand-wringing where the Illuminati fight amongst each other about the ethics of world-killing. Fury would've started blowing up planets like the stone-cold bastard he is without a second thought.

Yeah, Marcus has been Nick for a few years now. That theory might have held water several years ago when it did seem like Marvel was trying to make things sync more, but most of the stuff in the comics is so radically different from the movies now that it doesn't really hold.
