Someday people will come here to see what is secret war after marvel drop the tailer

[@Jedibuds87]

It looks like they are setting up for that

[@Sairresh]

Came here because I think this is the next big "end game" plan to reset the universe to allow remakes in the serie

He's not actually in this event. His book is all about how he was important in the original Secret wars but no one remembers him (that's cause he hadnt been created yet, lol)

Great episode! I really appreciate the hard work that went into it.

Who is here after the SDCC22 announcement of Avengers Secret Wars??

[@princesoulger999]

The premise of this new secret war is giving me a convergence vibe.

[@andrebauscher]

maxwell jones That's because... it is very similiar, isn't it? The big difference is that in Convergence at least one world/city is supposed to survive.

[@jamcalx]

maxwell jones it more like crisis on infintite earths by dc back in the late 80's.

[@nickshamblin9186]

maxwell jones Personally i feel its more of a Flashpoint feel.... like yay...reboot... -.- I dislike reboots

[@UltraX34]

Yeah like the other guy said this time DC took a little bit from Marvel (though it's not a direct copy or anything). But they do it all the time, so I couldn't care less

I know he has a video on starting out on comics and I watched it, but I could use some more help. I want to read Civil War so I have some what of an idea of the movie. I would also love to read more Captain America (he kind of grew on me). With Civil War, can I just jump in and read it? Or are some some comic books I should read before then? And for starting new comic book (like Captain America and possibly Black Panther) where should I start? Just in a story arc?

Omg Marvel doesn't suck DC doesn't suck these are pieces of work created by hard working people and you have no right to criticize them for whatever they do if you can't do better. I personally like reading both Marvel and DC and I can honestly say sometimes both brands do some things that I personally don't like but that doesn't mean it sucks it's all a matter of personal opinion and an opinion is in no way a fact.
