The Secret of Secret Wars (Group) CBTM033

On January 20, 2015, Marvel Executive Editor Tom Breevort and Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso made a huge announcement about the future of the Marvel Universe.

You may have already heard by now, but (SPOILERS) the entire Marvel Multiverse is about to be drastically changed forever. The Marvel 616 Universe (that started in 1961) is coming to an end, and in this episode, Ben and Matt give their initial reactions to this world-shattering news. This episode was recorded a few hours after the announcement was made by Marvel, so it features same-day speculation.

Worlds will live. Worlds will die. And the Marvel Universe will never be the same.

Great show and update on what Marvel will be doing.
FYI, ‘Secret Wars’ was chosen as a title for the simple reason that the words ‘secret’ and ‘wars’ scored height with the market. As I am sure you know, the series was made to sell toys.
For me it is a great nostalgia series that does not hold up to 21st century reading as an adult, but I loved back in the day, and introduced so many Marvel characters to me.
Keep up the good work and keep the flux capacitor working.

It’s all about Be-yond, ’bout Be-yond, ’bout Be-yond, Be-yond-er…

Ahem. Apologies.

Ben: “Battleworld is a magical place.” Nice. 🙂 (When Best of all Possible Worlds Daniel Butcher doesn’t have any clear memories of it, we’ll know we have a problem on our hands.)

I am not a big Marvel guy but, of course, have heard the hype about the reboot, so I appreciate your discussion giving me some bearings. If I understand you right, someone like me could jump on to any character after Secret Wars — X-Men, Spider-Man, you name it — and it’ll be the ground floor? That’s kind of intriguing, although in recent years I’ve realized it’s usually just as well to “jump into the deep end” and catch up as you need or want to. The superhero stories are all soap operas – all you can do is stay with it for the time you’re given (apologies to Gandalf).

[…] Captain America vs. Iron Man, yes it is Marvel’s Civil War! Wait sorry it’s Avengers: Infinite Avengers! Seriously though when you break it down, do these two fight so much because they are so close and passionate. Or is it because they really are the Odd Couple? I can pretty much guarantee more Avenger on Avenger fighty fighty is coming as we get ready for Secret Wars. […]
