Secret Wars is coming back this summer. We wonder if there will be an action figure line to go with it...
Marvel Comics have revealed the name and creative team behind their summer 2015 event series, and it should be familiar to fans of a certain age. SecretWars is coming from from the creative team of Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic, and it's being described as "overwhelmingly huge."
"However massive you think this is, let me assure you it is bigger than that," said Marvel executive editor Tom Brevoort. "It's by far the craziest thing that I've dealt with." He also promises that, like the original Secret Wars, "people are certainly going to be talking about it thirty years from now." Secret Wars will cross over to digital platforms and includes "new consumer products." That had better mean action figures.
Few details are available about Secret Wars at the moment, but it will apparently spin out of events in Jonathan Hickman's final (?) arc as writer on Avengers and New Avengers, "Time Runs Out." Marvel announced the project with a massive painting from Alex Ross, which showcases different versions of characters from throughout Marvel's history. Check it out:
