So what have we learned from today's Secret Wars crossover issues ahead of next week's Secret Wars #5?
And for Infinity Gauntlet – if there are no stars or planets[...]

We wondered if a number of delayed Secret Wars spinoff titles were down to that moment in te delayed main Secret Wars title in which a bunch of 616 and Ultimate survivors were scattered to the corners of the Battleworld by Dr Strange Well, that doesn't seem to have been the case with most, but[...]

Jonathan Hickman has been enjoying a hugely successful career at Marvel, even bringing their two main universes to an end in this year's mega-event Secret Wars As well as that, he's been making fantastic creator owned work with Image that is regularly blowing fans away.
So it is perhaps without much surprise that the[...]

DC's much vaunted DC YOU mini-relaunch and promotion has not translated well into sales, it seems, at least not against Marvel's Secret Wars crossover machine.
Meanwhile Image maintain their recent ten-percent-as-standard position with a 9.81% dollar share and a 10.83% unit share.
Marvel also dominates the top ten, with seven titles, and the Renew Your Vows spinoff coming[...]
