Review
My one comic per year, this time Hickman’s Secret Wars. By complete chance, the same guy who wrote my one-comic last year, House of X/Powers of X. I enjoyed this quite a bit. Read to prepare for Avengers: Doomsday which I probably will not see til it comes out on streaming; I’m not excited for the film.
Lots of characters I’ve never heard of. I enjoyed the art and the story. I have very little knowledge of Dr. Doom, but what little I had apparently comes from this comic. God Emperor Doom. Lots of fun.
This was something approaching 900 pages which is a lot!
I did ask some comics people I know, what is Marvel’s fascination with big giant helmets? Prof X in HoX/PoX has a big giant helmet, one of the Reeds has a big giant helmet. And their clothes look pretty similar too. Apparently Hickman loves helmets. Wonder if he loves Daft Punk?
