The Marvel Universe is no more! The interdimensional Incursions have eliminated each and every dimension one by one - and now, despite the best eff orts of the scientists, sages and superhumans of both dimensions, the Marvel Universe and Ultimate Universe have collided with one another...and been destroyed! Now, all that exists in the vast empty cosmos is a single titanic patchwork planet, made of the fragmented remains of hundreds of devastated dimensions: Battleworld! And the survivors of this multiversal catastrophe must learn to survive in this strange new realm! What strange creatures inhabit this world? Which familiar faces will make their return? And what happens when the various realms go to war? The Marvel Universe is dead...and the victors of the Secret Wars will determine what comes next!

There seemed to be big chunks missing. Maybe it would make more sense if you read all the tie ins. Maybe not. Doom is the ruler on the planet because he basically saved everyone there from the incursions. Obviously this upsets some people, so they "save" the world and somehow they reset Earth 616. So Hickman's run on the New Avengers and Avengers was all for nothing.

This book was bonkers! When the multi-verse collapses in on itself, every reality is destroyed...or is it? Dr frickin Doom saves all that's left of reality, sets himself up as god, and actually does a really good job. Of course Thanos, Reed Richards, and Black Panther with an INFINITY GAUNTLET, show up to "fix" things. Doom has an army of Thors, Apocalypse and his horsemen, and Galactus! This has crazy battles and a great Sci-fi plot! I loved it!

My über-specific comics subgenre of choice is Comics In Which There Are Burger Jokes. I always, always laugh at them, even when they're not very good. #comics

mcipher That's so bizarre and funny. My son would die laughing over that. If there are more in this sub genre, please share!! 😂😂 7y
xicanti @mcipher my personal favourite is the scene in ALL-NEW X-MEN where everyone gets burgers in exchange for saving the universe. Also, in the panel that goes after the one above, we learn the burger in question is eight years and three weeks old. 7y
mcipher So maybe it actually IS my son. I'm pretty sure he has old hamburgers in his pockets, too. (He's 15). 😂😂 7y

xicanti @mcipher I'm pretty sure Miles Morales is also 15. Your son is totally Spider-Man! (edited) 7y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Don't know if this is spoilery for you at this point but: 7y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk that burger is what gets Miles admittance to the post-Secret World universe! 7y
xicanti @TobeyTheScavengerMonk that bit delighted me. Hurray for burgers! 7y
mcipher This is so great. And I have to ask my kid if he has a secret identity now. 7y
xicanti @mcipher I hope he's using his superpowers responsibly (and staying well-fed). 7y
mcipher Always well-fed. Responsible, I'm less sure. Waiting to hear back from him today that's he's been good at his friend's house! 7y

I‘m a sucker for SECRET WARS. Worlds are destroyed, culminating in a patchwork union of the classic MARVEL Universe and the Ultimate. These characters find themselves in an alternate reality, where Doom is God. The resistance builds lead by both versions of Reed Richards. This has some fun moments, my favorite seeing Peter Parker and Miles Morales hang out and discuss being Spider-Man, however, the story suffers from being too complicated.

I call this a "pick" though I was lost through much of the plot. Either my familiarity with the Marvel isn't up to snuff or I was missing a great deal of the prelude. Still, many of the images and premises are jaw-dropping.
