COMICS: First Look At The Cover To SECRET WARS #1
Movie footage isn't all that aired last night during ABC's Marvel: 75 Years from Pulp to Pop special, as Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso shared our first glimpse of next Summer's Secret Wars event. It's not the best quality, but see Esad Ribic's cover art after the jump.
Apparently this is the variant cover to the first issue of the new Secret Wars. It's a bit blurry, but you'll be able to make out quite a few of the Marvel heroes and villains here. In addition to the likes of Thor, Cyclops, Black Panther, Doctor Doom and Thanos, we have both the 616 and Ultimate versions of characters such as Reed Richards and Spider-Man. Marvel have been releasing various teasers which revisit past events, and yesterday we had a blank cover, simply stating "Everything Ends" in Spring 2015. Does this indicate some type of reboot/clean sweep leading into Secret Wars? The plan hasn't been revealed yet, but we do know this massive event written by Jonathan Hickman with artwork by Esad Ribic is being set up to be one of the biggest in the publisher's history.
