So I read Secret Wars #1
I have no idea whats going on.
Is there some TL;DR backstory to assist me

For example:
why is 1610 attacking 616?
Why would you kill Rocket. I feel great anger.

Those books are being released after secret wars? Link?
Character wise, Remender seems to think Rage takes place after secret wars, but no one else has confirmed it.
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
Didnt Malekith cut it off in his solo series

Incursions. Destroy one Earth, save the other. Only 2 Earths remain, Ultimate and 616.
if you havent read Avengers / New Avengers... well, why are you reading Secret Wars?
no, really
Yeah, I dug the GA preview. Writing wasn't Lemire tier, but I thought dude did a good job capturing the feeling of "what the fuck do I want to do with my life?" roadtrip.
I'd rank this week's previews:
Amazing:
Midnighter
Really good:
Prez
Solid:
Omega Men
Green Arrow
Meh:
Starfire
So bad I already blocked them from memory:
Red Hood
Doomed

I like marvel events, even when i have no idea whats happening...
fair enough
long story very short: multiple universes are colliding with each other and a secret group of avengers (and later not so avengers) have been dealing with it by... blowing up alternate earths so it doesnt collide with theirs. 616 and the ultimate one are aparently the last 2 left
I would check out the youtube channel ComicsExplained.
They have a rundown of everything leading up to secret wars that's really helpful.

Yo, at my shop, I asked if my 5 dollar marvel comic came with a map or a cool Skottie Young print and I got a bunch of "dont know"s and "nah"s. Brb while I check ebay for employees selling hundreds of maps and prints.

Overall art in Secret Wars 1 was good, although some faces were down right weird.
I figured the story from the onset, but damn this ish is dark.
I don't like the idea that worlds are 'dieing', and as is, find it pointless to compare it to Morrison's work, until the entire event is over.

I finally read the previews for Omega Men and Green Lantern. Not sure it was a smart move to release these previews. Omega Men was so fucking stupid I'd change my name if I had worked on that trash. GL honestly looked very mediocre.
(Avengers 44 spoilers)
Too busy fighting each other. These two assholes deserve each other.
I think the comparisons came from the 80 issues that came before, not that I particularly agree with them.

Just re read the end of the last Avengers. Looks like they really did die. (No need to spoiler tag last weeks books, right?)

Aaaaaaaaaah, then I spoke too soon; I didn't read Hickman's Avengers run as it never interested me early on so I skipped it
Didn't help that his run focused more on the story/events than characters, or at least that's a criticism I heard about it.Palette Swap

Yeah. There's like a 1610 plane falling on them in that last shot.
Hence my earlier commentary: post-Infinity, Steve has been completely useless and counterproductive. Tony is a lying murderer but at least he was useful to repel that alien invasion by genociding them. Steve yelled so much at the clouds they died of boredom.

Convergence Harley Quinn is probably going to be my favorite of all the Convergence titles. With the addition of Captain Carrot, the book was just a fun Loony Toon in the DC Universe.

My kid took off with both.
He was playing some fake Risk thing with his amiibo finitys or something on it.
and doomed the universe.
well it was already doomed, but it would have been interesting to see what would have happened

Starman #75 - #80 Well, that wraps it up. What a ride. The last 6 chapters felt like an epilogue of sorts and there were a few confusing moments for me
and
. But other than that, the perfect end
Starman #81: Eh?
referring to Starman's JSA time I guess. I haven't read any of that.
the Zatara business at the end
. All loose ends tied up. Quick look-in visit to everyone. And a the beginning of a long drive.
Starman #81: Eh?
so...Axis 1-3 (and Magneto 11 while im at it)
This is kinda shit lol. Red Onslaught looks terrible, like a 90s edgy version of Onslaught (oh he has horns and tentacles, because those are evil!), as if Onslaught himself wasnt already a edgy 90s creation. And he doesnt do anything, he just stands there with a couple of sentinels aparently capturing heroes (and only heroes to allow for the twist of magneto recruiting all those villains) instead of killing them (lol why). There is no sense of danger or urgency, unlike the original Onslaught which I thought did a good job of being menacing (or maybe I was just much younger)
Meanwhile the writing is terrible, everyone is making jokes all the time (like, seriously, everyone is trying to be spiderman or deadpool), including the villains when they show up. what the fuck happened to Remender?
And to cap it off it ends (i know its not over) with a Wanda inversion spell which since I know the whole thing is about heroes and villains being inverted, means she fucked up...AGAIN. Oh and to back off a bit, speaking of the villains, why the FUCK would most of them even follow Magneto...why would Carnage of all people go help him do anything at all. Ugh. OH and how the FUCK is Red Skull alive when the smoke clears and Onslaught is gone, if Magneto killed him by squishing his head with a rock? Good lord Remender...
This is NOT the payoff to Uncanny X-Force / Avengers we deserved. Anyway, that first bit is done with so now the whole Inversion stuff is up, maybe thats at least fun. I hear the Hobgoblin and Carnage books are good at least right?

So did Steve.
Someone forgot his pre-infinity events.
By Axis standards. Hobgobs is ok, and carnage is simply not terrible. If you're getting angry at everybody being a joker, avoid both like the plague.

In retrospect, it's incredible that things would manage to go downhill from there.
The whole concentration camp was beyond on the nose and yet, there's still this weird dialogue where everyone is uneasy that a fucking nazi got killed in a fucking concentration camp.
Hence the "post-infinity" mention in my post. Steve used to be a useful genocider.

Azarello and Chiang's Wonder Woman? There were a few positive impressions in this thread and I have been meaning to read that. But I need to find and complete Rucka's run first.
