I didn’t realize that this story was going to wrap up the way it did, but it’s a great book regardless. I had wondered what the end game was for one of the characters and as long as it stays this way, I’m happy with it.
No retcons!

I grabbed this complete mini series several years ago at a comic convention, I think it was only $2 for the entire thing. I was hoping that it was a continuation or a variation of the original Armor Wars story line from the 80’s that I greatly enjoyed, but it’s not, it’s a completely different thing that drops you into the middle of a story that started in another mini series (or maybe the mainline Secret Wars mini?) and doesn’t give much information on what happened other than “everything is gone, but here we are!” kind of synopsis that only let to more confusion.
It’s best if you consider this an alternate dimensional take on characters that you know and love. This is an ok story, but I’m not a fan of the lack of context that’s going on here, it wasn’t until the final issue that I remembered that the “Secret Wars” storyline featured multiple dimensions of the same characters in cities or teams or something like that. In this case it was the “Thor League” that showed up in the final book to take the bad guys off to some unknown prison.
As an afterthought, I’ll bet you this is where the Secret Wars MCU series is going to take itself, with multidimensional character lines that will ultimately result in Iron Man and Captain America coming back from the ‘dead’.
- ‘Shazam,’ ‘Aquaman’ And ‘Wonder Woman’ Saved DC Films, But Warner Bros. Saved Itself First
Warner Bros. has performed well enough that it doesn’t need DC superheroes to save the box office.
Actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker in the new film.
Director J.J. Abrams says, “We are so excited to finally share the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII. It is both thrilling and surreal to watch the beloved original cast and these brilliant new performers come together to bring this world to life, once again. We start shooting in a couple of weeks, and everyone is doing their best to make the fans proud.”
Star Wars: Episode VII is being directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer. The movie opens worldwide on December 18, 2015.
Is that a black man in the corner? Goodness! Let’s hope it’s a little more multicultural than just a single guy from a race that isn’t white.
