Marvel’s Secret Wars event is shaping up to be more of a celebration of the publisher’s past continuity than a story driven event in and of itself. Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic’s main series almost seems like an undercurrent. At least when compared to all of the exciting other titles the publisher will be releasing during the showdown. Of those incredible miniseries “Secret Wars: Battleground” has continually proved one of the most interesting. Written by Ed Brisson and Joshua Williamson, the series will see wall to wall action from the heart of the event.
Take issue one for example – what happens when Dr. Strange possesses the Punisher? Meet the Sorcerer EXTREME! Only Spider-Man, Wolverine, the Hulk and Ghost Rider of this land can track this terrible two-in-one down. And things are going to get messy! Then, what happens when M.O.D.O.K. recruits every M.O.D.O.K. ever from across Battleworld for his evil scheme. We’ll give you a hint – F.I.G.H.T.!
Each issue – cover-to-cover action, pulse-pounding battles and can’t miss creators. You want action? Look no further than SECRET WARS: BATTLEWORLD #1 when it explodes in to comic shops and on to digital devices this May!
