I was going to save this for Friday or maybe a little closer to when the movie came out, but I didn’t sleep well last night and I need the time without going through all the buffer I built up on my week off. Also, we’ll be talking about the spoilers to Avengers: Doomsday so if you want to avoid that, maybe just scroll down to the video by Linkara of Atop The Fourth Wall if you’re curious or look for the “Secret Wars” video from 2026, just last week as of this posting.
All indications are that the plot for Avengers: Doomsday and the two or three movies that will follow will be based on the 2015 version of Secret Wars, and it’s not the best showing for Marvel heroes if that’s the case. Keeping spoilers off the homepage, it’s also about the end of the multiverse and features Doctor Doom as the villain, using cosmic power to recreate reality in vision because that’s what Doctor Doom does. His ego and quest for the power to control everything has led to take advantage of godlike beings before and this was no different, though the one in the comic isn’t the same as the MCU reimagining out of necessity.
It’s not the worse comic to fall under the “Secret Wars” banner, originally meant to push a toyline but became the first case of Marvel’s Eventitis illness back when they only did it as a summer event to keep readers coming during their vacations. Now every storyline in comics is practically a mini-event. Linkara, the internet persona of Lewis Lovhaug, does “Event Comics Month” every year, or at least tries to. Like my recent issues with all the anthology comics coming my way, these take the most time to read, write, and review, which is harder on him since he has to get more than a cover. He has to get sample pages and pan them to make the video work. It just so happened that among this year’s remaining list of events the fans chose this version of Secret Wars before the MCU spoilers leaked, and the recent trailer seems to prove much of what they said. So let’s watch Linkara go over the comic event that inspired the movie event and see what they’re working with.
