New 'Secret Wars' is Marvel Comics' major event of 2015

The trolling is literally real.....why is Hickman just toying???

Aside from the seeming inconsistency with the Beyonders, NA #32 was actually a really good issue. The storytelling was epic.

The only people who are butthurt about it are those that thrive exclusively on battleboard feats, and could care less about the actual story.

I wonder if this will be one of those comics who were "so-so" during the monthly run and a great read as a tradeback, or vice versa.

I think so. An event this long in the making, and with this many issues behind it will require a reread(or two) when all is said and done, imo. I've kept up with it since the beginning, but I'm sure there is still a lot I missed over the years--tidbits that will likely make the story even more epic than it already is.

Hickman's taken a lot of flack over this event, but I am one of those crazies who actually thinks he has done an outstanding job with it--far better than Johns did with his DC reboot, at least. /shrug

He's been very good within his own vision.

It's difficult not to admire someone who's planned so well.

I've been very satisfied with this, but I did -not- like his initial avengers stuff and Infinity.

Yeah, I mean Hickman's vision started back in 2009 when he began writing F4. So this event is, quite literally, 6 years in the making. That's right up there with Morrison and Multiversity--the only difference is that Hickman has been constantly writing precursor/buildup issues the entire time, whereas Morrison has not.

I enjoyed the early Avengers material, but Infinity was pretty f*cking bad, I'll give you that. 👆

Issue 32 inconsistencies between the beyonders we seen in the issue vs the one fighting cosmic makes me think they aren't the beyonders because I know for a fact the Beyonders should have killed Thor,Hyperion, and Starband with little effort......

It's impressive to spend so long on it, but I think his pacing could use some work!

Did you like Infinity, or did you loathe the early Avengers?

It's loads better then the original Secret Wars, that's for sure.

Much as I love Doom, he was the only good thing about that event. (Then again, I was never a fan of soap operas, pointless fights, or celebrity worship, and that was Marvel writing of that era in a nutshell)

Original Secret Wars will always be my favorite classic.

The one in which Dr. Doom stole the Beyonder's power?

The one where Wasp hit Magneto with her master plan of whoring herself out to him.

Preview of the last New Avengers, looks like Doom is heading to the realm where the Beyonders popped out from.

This looks really interesting.

Well Doom looks like he been working out.
