Secrets Of The Battleworld – The Shield And The Fury, The Dagger And The Kiss

Everything's about the Shield on the Battleworld it seems. The transformed-by-Doom Ben Grimm into a wall that separates the rest of the Battleworld with the Deadlands, full of zombies and Ultrons and Annhilation waves.

Well, it gets a puncture in A-Force #4…

 Special doors open in its side in Red Skull #3, releasing Sentinels…

And there's a deal to be done in Siege #3 as one of the 616 Survivors shows up. And starts making very obvious statements.

Another not-quite-survivor can now be seen in Mrs Deadpool & The Howling Commandoes, though he probably doesn't count.

And yes there is a lot of chatter about Doom. And people who want to take him down or just not serve him…

The Maestro failed last time, now we have a Red Hulk in Planet Hulk who thinks he is up for the job…

Even if some folk, in Renew Your Vows, don't even know who he is.

Godless heathens. Giant Size L'il Marvel AVX has seen the Avengers and the X-Men fighting over ownership of the "twins", seen a a summation of Marvel and Fox's fight over Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver in their respective Avengers and X-Men movies. Well, with rumours that the characters may have been revealed to be Inhuman (they weren't) it still makes this scene seem extra-resonant…

The Last Days Of Ms Marvel ends with a hug. Not this hug, this is more of a forshadowy hug. Still a good hug though from the inspired to the inspirational.

Planet Hulk may not have given the relationship between Steve and Bucky that some may have expected, but you are more than able to read into this flashback montage anything you wish.

More from Doom, the way he has stopped time travel in Siege….

And heretical teleportation devices from 2099…

It won't end well… as 1602: Witch Hunter Angela readily reminds us, reprising Romeo And Juliet with Cloak And Dagger….

But what's it all for? Civil War dismisses the whole comic book… and by extension the whole of Secret Wars… and by extension, the whole of Marvel and more…

Is that the big bad talking – or Charles Soule, the writer?
