That same beast is filled with a surprising amount of political intrigue from Hickman, who is bound to get a ton of Game of Thrones jabs aimed at him with the inclusion of several houses and the Wall I mentioned earlier. What Ribic paints is a condensed universe full of Marvel mashed right against each other into a seemingly unconquerable beast. Ribic goes all out here with an entire police force of Thors, a town guarded by a Galactus sentry, and a somehow crazier take on the Wall from Game of Thrones. Big twist aside, Battleworld still carries a grand scale that suits Ribic’s art. Without giving too much away, there’s a definite hook that separates this reality from others. The comic takes its readers through the new reality of Battleworld, a land borne out of the consequences of “New Avengers”. “Secret Wars” #2 is a drastic step away from the wanton destruction prevalent in the first issue. And while they don’t lay everything out on the table, the questions they leave unanswered have turned me around on every single “new” title coming out in the next few months. All that said, with “Secret Wars” #2, Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic give a focused look at what exactly their story is about.
It seemed like they would have little to do with the whole Battleworld saga, a legion of tie-ins waiting to wind up in public libraries like the “House of M” titles of yore. So far, my biggest concern with “Secret Wars” has been the evolution of Hickman’s story in “Avengers” and “New Avengers” with the dozens of crossovers coming up.
