re: Marvel Secret Wars: Upcoming Changes, MCU and All That

That Squadron Supreme cover is just such a contrast to the limited series. Seriously, if you have any interest in comics history and you've never read it, you absolutely need to read Gruenwald's Squadron Supreme. It really is a proto-Watchmen.

It's an interesting concept: heroes get tired of being reactive and instead proactively take over the governments of the world and work to eliminate war, poverty, hunger, and disease. It's a fascinating series. And by the end, the death toll is pretty damn high.


Everything is a reboot of a reboot at this point. I can't see how that would bother anyone. Superman meant something different to a 1930s audience than he does today, and everywhere in between. The publisher adjusts the characters for the era. Always has. A company wide reboot like this is particularly ambitious. DC has done it twice to my knowledge, with varying degrees of success. I'm glad Marvel is being quite ambitious with its all-new universe. Let's see if its just a stalling tactic before getting to the same old, same old.
