Not much to report here. Marvel sent out a press release showcasing the first cover to Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic’s “Secret Wars” event that hits next year. Like all the others, it promises long standing ramifications for the Marvel Universe at large. Some have even thought it might be offering hints of a reboot. We’ll see next year when it hits. For now, I’m really into this cover. It looks like chaos, but I’d rather an event that just goes for it rather than the tame Original Sin, or the insane AXIS.
You’ve seen Alex Ross’ spectacular promo image. You’ve seen the teasers. You’ve learned the first secrets of Battleworld, the strange, patchwork realm playing host to countless separate realities. Now, Marvel is pleased to present the first cover to next year’s game-changing SECRET WARS #1! From the chart-topping creative team of Jonathan Hickman (Avengers, New Avengers) and Esad Ribic (Thor: God of Thunder) with covers by legendary painter Alex Ross, this 8-issue event brings together a legion of Marvel super heroes for an epic story the scope of which you’ve never seen before!
Now, get a closer look at Alex Ross’ stunning cover to the explosive first issue. Gorgeously rendered by one of the most iconic figures in the industry, this spectacular cover is just the tip of the iceberg – offering fans their first exciting look behind the curtain into the world of Secret Wars!
The road to the biggest comic event of 2015 is happening right now in the pages of Avengers and New Avengers, so jump on board before TIME RUNS OUT! Be there when the Secret Wars commence this May in SECRET WARS #1!
