Fans have been awaiting a huge Marvel announcement from NYCC, and this appears to be it: Next May, Secret Wars returns for a year-long event with writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Esad Ribic on board. Could this be the direction the MCU will take too?
This just in from New York Comic Con: Marvel has announced plans to publish a new Secret Wars, from writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Esad Ribic, as a year-long event starting in May 2015. The news was revealed tonight at an offsite event at Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. in Times Square. Apparently the story will kick off at the conclusion of the currently running "Avengers" and "New Avengers" storyline, "Time Runs Out." Hasbro, Hot Topic, and Upper Deck will be handling the tie-in merchandise. Notice how the teaser image from Alex Ross features various different incarnations of some of Marvel's biggest characters? Well Marvel Senior VP of Publishing Tom Brevoort says that none of the characters depicted in the pic are random and all are pulled from Marvel's 75-year publishing history. "However massive you think this is, let me assure you it is bigger than that. It's by far the craziest thing I've dealt with."
