    Default SECRET WARS #2 Spoilers

    Ok...

    This is crazy...

    So, we get to see that Doom rules this world (and he is considered "God")... And that we have a lot of "royalty" characters (barons and baroness, and ladies, etc).

    The rulers of this place is Dr. Doom, Sue Storm, King Thor/Odin, Valeria Richards, James Braddock and Dr. Strange and the Thors are the cops from this place.

    We see a fight between two Barons...

    Sue has a little power of persuasion over Doom, in terms of decisions...

    From what I saw, Strange is the one controlling the religion aspects of this world and Val is the science idealist...

    We saw other places, including the one with zombies and ultron...

    The last pages are the best ones... The life raft of the Maker arrives with the Cabal and we see the first mention to this place being called Battleworld

    P.S. King Thor died :S

    P.S.2 We have many references to the places of this world and who "rules" each place...

    So it's a set up issue?

    Also, the last three territories are all Dr. Doom territories. Disappointed on that front.

    Do people retain their old memories? If not, why not? Is it confirmed that at least portions of this world have been in place for a long time?
    I write about the intersection of science, comics and culture. Check it out!

    Their memories are all "brand new", except from the ones coming on the raft...

    Whoever created this world (I'm assuming it was Doom or the Beyonders with their scientific experiences) gave new memories to everyone living in this world...

    This place seems like it exists for a long time... But it might be cause of the new memories...

    Jon Hickman did say that he wanted to go out with a bang to end his run with the Avengers.

    Should be a hell of a bang because he has been winding up for 3 years now

    Very good setup issue. But based on cover the next issue, we'll quickly dive into the story.

    I don't know why some people are surprised this is a set-up issue. Marvel rushed this one out to print a week after the first issue for a reason.

    Am I the only one that feels he borrowed a little too heavily from Game of Thrones? The last few pages were exciting though.

    I was thinking since the reveal of Rabum Alal that this story is the ultimate Dr. Doom Fanboy story. Everyone fails and is incompetent and OOC except Dr. Doom.

    The Wall/SHIELD alone is a big thing....so I guess he did. But I don't mind it.
