Secret Wars #0 for Free Comic Book Day

 

[SArcher]

So this does sound like a reboot, doesn't it?

 

[Drayco21]

So if the ultimate universe dies what characters, besides Miles, do people hope will crossover to the 616 universe?

Jessica Drew and Ganke will probably come with Miles. Evil Reed should stick around. I can't see too many others surviving.

It sounds like an excuse to move some multiverse stuff into 616.

the JJJ and Aunt May of Ultimate Universe were the best. JJJ was a real, human person not a cartoonish caricature. Also, Miles by himself is kind of a waste-we would need his dad and his friends. Otherwise, he's just a fish out of water.

Evil Reed is an amazing villain.

 

[ferr]

Are those his top or bottom teeth? I can't tell

They're his middle teeth

 

[IHaveIce]

Battleworld looks interesting.

Of course the fat guy doesn't move away from the screen so everybody can watch

 

[Mesoian]

Was that Attack on Titan crossover any good?

Like, remotely?

 

[super-famicom]

Ooo, Marvel vs Attack on Titan is coming out in English.

 

[a secret-boss]

Cool features for Marvel Unlimited. I like that.

Wat did they say better mobile app lol

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Strange choice.

Would have made a lot of sense ten years ago.

This is the Marvel equivalent of the WCW/ECW invasion of WWE.

"Yay, we have Booker T and Goldberg and RVD!"
"But we have all these other piles of garbage to sort through."

So this does sound like a reboot, doesn't it?

It's just a mini-Crisis. Getting rid of one continuity for streamlining's sake.

 

[Slayven]

So this does sound like a reboot, doesn't it?

More like a smoothie.

 

[DiscoJon]

Wow, did you think to get out of the way of the television, Tom? This is why the Comic book industry is still stuck in the past. Dudes who just looked like they woke up and rolled out of bed, putting absolutely no effort into dressing up for an event.

 

[Gambit 1138]

lmao at newsarama:

Marvel Comics has just officially announced the end of the Marvel Universe that began in 1961 as fans know it. Refresh in a few moments for more details...

 

[Drayco21]

"Whole lotta Thor goin' on."

That cover looks awesome- I want posters of each of these covers. Dat Beta Ray Bill.

 

[Mesoian]

lmao at newsarama:

teehee.

 

[IHaveIce]

Cool features for Marvel Unlimited. I like that.

Wait what?

 

[Palette Swap]

So basically, the huge reveal is what was apparent on the cover of Secret Wars or is there an actual announcement?

 

[The Elite]

lmao at newsarama:

EVERYBODY PANIC!!!!

 

[Parallax]

lmao at newsarama:

attention grabbing titles are the norm i see

 

[Mudcrab]

lmao at newsarama:

Countdown to Neoxon thread begins now.

 

[Cth]

okay so they're going to bring miles to the 616 Marvel gets their Spidey for the cap film sony gets to keep their spidey for their film everyone's happy.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

So if the ultimate universe dies what characters, besides Miles, do people hope will crossover to the 616 universe?

They're probably going to reset Peter to a teen, but if not they should make Miles the new Scarlet Spider, and give him two Inhuman friends with fire and ice powers.

 

[Slayven]

Countdown to Neoxon threads begins now.

Fixed......

 

[kulapik]

Ooo, Marvel vs Attack on Titan is coming out in English.

And for FCBD.

 

[Dalek]

So it's basically New 52 for Marvel-where they are going to merge the universes and "streamline" the histories and merge the "better" parts. I wonder how they will deal with Nick Fury-and how Miles comes to be Spider-Man if Peter never died in 616.

 

[Arment]

I'm by no means a comic enthusiast so I have no idea who these guys are but this Tom guy is a real character.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Oh god 4 Gwen Stacys.

This just keeps getting dumber.

 

[Affeinvasion]

They're probably going to reset Peter to a teen, but if not they should make Miles the new Scarlet Spider, and give him two Inhuman friends with fire and ice powers.

That wouldn't make any sense if this is just a universe meshing and not a reboot.

 

[Gambit 1138]

So I'm confused is the 616/Ultimate merged world what comes out of secret world or is that the base of Battleworld? Im more interested in what the world will be like post-Secret Wars

That wouldn't make any sense if this is just a universe meshing and not a reboot.

There being vague but it sounds like its gonna be both. They keep saying the 616 universe is done.

 

[Chezzymann]

Does anyone else wish comics were way simpler and didn't have any of this complicated continuity stuff? I tried reading blackest night cause a friend recommended it, it was pretty good and I like the introduction at the beginning that explained the situation, but then there were all these references to past events and sudden character introductions, those parts were pretty confusing. I wish there was just story lines with a set beginning and a set end like how a book works and you didn't have to go and read other story lines to fully understand and appreciate the current arc.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

Tales from your ass.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

But how many costumes will have dumb line piping?

 

[StoOgE]

So, the big announcement is Marvel is doing a DC Crisis Event?

 

[Drayco21]

They're probably going to reset Peter to a teen, but if not they should make Miles the new Scarlet Spider, and give him two Inhuman friends with fire and ice powers.

Nah, Miles would just stay Spider-Man, and there'd be two of them without deaging Peter. There's already a Scarlet Spider who's a thousand times more interesting than Miles.

 

[Mesoian]

I just wanna restate how much I hate that Marvel's official stance regarding games is now, "Mobile or nothing."

So, the big announcement is Marvel is doing a DC Crisis Event?

Thus far, yup.

 

[Rhaknar]

Wait what?

seemed to be a hub linking to all the classic versions of the stories. future imperfect, etc, all the shit being relaunched in secret wars

a easier way to read all that stuff without having to manually search I guess, unless they are adding stuff that wasnt there

 

[Mudcrab]

We already knew 616 and Ultimate U would merge together to form "Manhattan" in battleworld.

 

[shadyspace]

Does anyone else wish comics were way simpler and didn't have any of this complicated continuity stuff?

No, we don't. Go watch the movies.

EDIT: This is bog standard event talk here.

 

[Affeinvasion]

Thus far, yup.

At least Marvel Heroes exists and is good.

 

[super-famicom]

Oh god 4 Gwen Stacys.

This just keeps getting dumber.

Spider-Gwen
Venom-Gwen
Carnage-Gwen
Scarlet-Gwen

 

[Angelus Errare]

Does anyone else wish comics were way simpler and didn't have any of this complicated continuity stuff?

No.

 

[Raphael]

How long is this supposed to be?

 

[Rootbeer]

technical difficulties

Stick with Image comics graphic novel or manga

 

[Tathanen]

I don't really understand what a country that's a storyline arc even.. means. Like, "Age of Ultron" country. What.. what is that. What the hell is a "Planet Hulk" country. How can a physical place be defined by a period of time? Are these "countries" divided by some kind of temporal walls? Are characters duplicated across countries, if they were key in those events? How can time = space!??!

 

[The Faceless Master]

Is it Mayo Nick Fury vs Sam Jackson?

:lol

 

[Parallax]

We already knew 616 and Ultimate U would merge together to form "Manhattan" in battleworld.

yeah. attIilan is in the manhattan part too

 

[The Elite]

Oh god 4 Gwen Stacys.

This just keeps getting dumber.

At the same time?

 

[Drayco21]

Does anyone else wish comics were way simpler and didn't have any of this complicated continuity stuff?

Complicated continuity stuff is why I read comics. The dumb, convoluted story telling and character motivations, and flip flops of character personalities, who's dead and who's affiliated where at any given moment is a lot of fun to me.

The Beyonder is one hell of a drug. He's been teased for coming back in New Avengers and as a major element in this, so it's likely that he has something to do with explaining this.
