In news that comes as an absolute surprise to NO ONE who’s been paying attention to Marvel Comics the past couple of years, the end of the Marvel Universe as you and generations of fans have known it will come to an end this summer with the launching of Secret Wars, the annual summer comics event.
The Mega-Event will see the merging of both the classic Marvel Universe, birthplace of Spider-Man, Captain America, The Avengers and countless other classic superheroes and it’s younger counterpart, The Ultimate Universe, which has been ravaged by scores of deaths of its own popular heroes (Wolverine, Captain America, Cyclops, Professor X, Beast to mention a few), ironically because of the self-same mega-events.
Look for an opinion piece from Kenshiro concerning the death of the Marvel Universe, as well as speculation on where things could go from here.
