Heh. And supposedly we're headed towards Secret Wars which is uh, counts on fingers, a point in comics history close to when you were born -- (edited) - JD Nov 14, 11:18 23
- wrong secret wars -- nm - Remlik Nov 14, 11:45 17
  - wait, there's more than one ? -- nm - decline Nov 14, 11:46 16
    - Yup. Jonathan Hickmans Secret Wars from 2015. which is what this whole multiverse thing is leading to - Remlik Nov 14, 11:48 14
      - Hickman wrote a stunning 8 year storyline in Fantastic Four and FF (2 seperate books),& then Avengers & New Avengers that dovetailed into Secret Wars -- nm - Remlik Nov 14, 11:52
      - *laugh* so not Secret Wars II either - JD Nov 14, 11:52 12
        
        oh and there was a Secret Wars III which was going to be a HUGE thing, but after SC2 was a dud they just ran it in FF 318 and 319 -- nm - Remlik Nov 14, 12:00
        
        nope and your secret wars was in 1984. Hickman's was in 2015. It was safe to use. Plus brand awareness for the old timers -- nm - Remlik Nov 14, 11:53 10
        
        So now that I'm actually trying to comprehend your original post and not just be mad / old, uh, so Secret Wars is like Marvel's Crisis reset? - JD Nov 14, 11:58 8
        
        Yeah a bit. in 2015 they closed down the Ultimate Universe but there was a HUGELY popular character there (Miles Morales) - Remlik Nov 14, 12:04 6
        
        Which was annoying because I liked the Ultimate versions - Reagen Nov 14, 12:23 5
        
        But by that point the Ultimate Versions you liked...most of them were dead and sales of Ultimate books were plummenting - Remlik Nov 14, 12:34
        
        Uhm... you might want to avoid the version starting now, then. - Spawn Nov 14, 12:29 3
        
        incorrect. it's better to say.....yet. -- nm - Remlik Nov 14, 12:35 2
        
        Will still not be the version we have known. - Spawn Nov 14, 12:37 1
        
        Well of course not. This is a new Universe. so why would it be a version we know? - Remlik Nov 14, 12:51
        
        yes and no -- nm - Spawn Nov 14, 12:01
        
        Beyonder! -- nm - Spawn Nov 14, 11:55
    - that's the secret -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 14, 11:47
- The Civil War checklists were equally eye rolly. -- nm - Reagen Nov 14, 11:30 1
  - We actually collected the whole set, only to lose it in the fire. -- nm - David Nov 14, 11:48
- i have the Secret Wars from 1984 when Venom first shows up - hollywood big shot Nov 14, 11:23 1
  - I have that as well. Bagged, acid free boarded along with the rest of the series. - JD Nov 14, 11:31
- I wasn't born yet, but close! -- nm - MDH Nov 14, 11:20
