Secret Wars has been a complex and confusing event so far. We are immediately thrown into a battle between alternate universes. Then we are introduced to "Battleword". This is a world where Dr. Doom is "God" and characters are in completely different form. There is a group of Thors acting as cops. Random alternate realities have been mixed up in Battleworld.
When I first began Secret Wars, it was overwhelming, to say the least. I thought it was all a little too unorganized and I didn't see the point. So, I read the second issue begrudgingly. I couldn't make it past the first half. It seemed to have nothing to do with the first issue. After a couple of weeks, I decided to pick the comic back up. I finished it and was blown away at how much it drew me in. Suddenly, Secret Wars seemed so much more appealing. Next, it was time for some tie-ins.
One of the first tie-ins I read was the Secret Wars "Planet Hulk". This comic featured a warrior version of Steve Rogers and Hulks. It was incredible! Then I read the first issue of "Battleworld". In this comic, Dr. Strange's consciousness is inside Frank Castle. I finally started to see the point. At this time, Marvel can try anything they want and just see what happens. Secret Wars makes anything possible. The outlandish has become the norm. That's the mindset you must have in order to enjoy Secret Wars.
I can't wait to see the results of Secret Wars. For now though, I'm enjoying the ride. I just finished the first "Thors" comic and it was great! It left off with an awesome cliffhanger and I can't wait for more. So, if you haven't checked Secret Wars out, I encourage you to have the right mindset and give it a shot!
