Marvel's Secret Wars Hype Thread - Where we argue about what "reboot" means

As if the Cabal couldn't get any stronger, they add one of the most twisted mega-minds in the entire Marvel multiverse.

This event is getting crazy.

you know seeing this picture I got to come to terms with the fact that a lot of characters are going to be killed off during this event

The actual interview that goes along cover has some good stuff:

Hickman said:
Five years from now, I might really have a Guardians of the Galaxy or Star Wars story that I really want to do.

Hickman said:
I think that Ultimate stuff that Esad and I did is one of the best things I’ve done at Marvel. It was unquestionably a failure, but it wasn’t because the book wasn’t good, it was because it was the same time the New 52 came out. Our #1 issue came out the same time DC launched a bunch of New 52 number ones. It got completely crushed under a wave of product. That was a bummer, because the one book that I wanted to do when I started at Marvel was the Ultimates, and do it in a way where I’m basically building in the Ultimate universe.

You should check out his second Ultimate Avengers serieses, with Blade and vampires and like a Chav Hulk. Holy shit. Some of the worst comics I've ever read.

Yep I read those too. Pretty bad. Although I did like when Cap
teleported a Harrier Jet to impale The Red Skull

Between that, Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum....just talk about a complete waste of potential...

I wonder how long this has all been planned out?

Didn't Ultimate Reed have a change of heart after seeing what his life could have been during that Galactus event?

I'd definitely be curious to see a Guardians story from him. Always was bummed when he left Ultimates since I quite liked the start he had.

How has his Avengers been anyway? I know he plays a long game so I declined reading it monthly and figured I'd wait on an omnibus or something.

Oh my God. Ultimate Reed on the Cabal? Our heroes are fucked.

Holy shit. That would make everything so much better. And I mean every fucking thing. I love Ultimate Reed.

Is it someone entirely new or has it been figured out already?

It's still a mystery. They trying to imply that it was his mother, but that was a red herring. It's someone Thor knows, and she kissed him, so someone who was closed to him at some point.

If it turns out to be Jane Foster I'm gonna rage.

Oh, I'm pretty sure thats an understatement. Prepare for the majority of the Ultimate universe to become cannon fodder.

What's new?

but really I think the 616 is going to have some casualties too.... thankfully 616 deaths are just a vacation to the underworld casino....

I thought it was the shield agent who was an environmentalist? I will be pissed if its Jane Foster

It was planned out ever since Jeph Loeb had 616 Wolverine wake up in a cold sweat after having a dream about getting ripped apart by the Hulk which happened in Ultimate Hulk vs. Wolverine

Man fuck everyone who didn't buy Hickman's Ultimates run. The way Hickman talks in that EW interview makes it sound like his plans for later if that series continued would have been magnificent. Hopefully he can incorporate some of that in the coming months.

I rather think that it was Thor who gave her cancer. Something on him was space-magic radioactive and "infected" her.

Edit: - She has no cancer anymore?

she hasn't appeared since she joined the council of realms.... so who knows.

I am just saying if that is what they reveal as making Thor unworthy I will be annoyed greatly by it

The fantastic art from Esad Ribic didn't hurt either. It'd definitely be interesting if he could somehow bring back some of those ideas.

Do we have any idea how long this event is going to go on for?
