All the little bits and pieces and dribs and drabs, all the little sections of Earths that were within those incursion zones, all those little areas where it’s intersected, all those little areas have remained and will be fused into a single, gigantic organism, which is Battleworld. “And it is the little melting pot in which the new Marvel Universe will be created, will be fermented. “Battleword, essentially, is the detritius that’s left over after the destruction of the Marvel Universe and the Ultimate Universe,” Brevoort said. Instead, what we have left is something called “Battleworld.” At which point, most Marvel titles will be canceled, because Marvel Earth will be no more. It turns out, according to Brevoort, “They won’t.” In Secret Wars #1 in May, the Ultimate Universe is the one invading, and the heroes of both worlds fail to stop the collision. That’s not very heroic, but it does reset the clock for the next incursion, by which time, the heroes hope, they will find a way to change the rules. But all they’ve managed to do so far is survive – by destroying each invading Earth. So the Avengers have been struggling for a way to stop these “incursions,” as they are called. So now an infinite number of universes are plowing into ours, one by one, always with the Earths of each universe the breach point. Somewhere in the multiverse, the Avengers learned in 2013, something had gone awry in the barriers between dimensions. The mechanism for doing this has been an ongoing storyline in the flagship Avengers titles for the last year or so.

And whatever comes after … will be different.

This Secret Wars, according to Alonso, is the “endcap” of the Marvel Universe launched by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby 54 years ago in Fantastic Four #1. Nor is it the Secret War of 2004, which is a different animal altogether. No, not the Secret Wars of 1984 or the Secret Wars II of 1985, which were born of a toy line (although there are some superficial similarities). The plan, Alonso said, is that the two universes will “slap together” in a book called Secret Wars.

20 press conference at Midtown Comics in New York City, Marvel Comics Senior VP - Executive Editor Tom Brevoort and Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso decreed the end of not only the Marvel Comics universe, which has been building on itself in a more-or-less linear fashion since the early 1960s, but also of the “Ultimate Universe,” an alternate dimension Marvel has been exploring since 2000 in books like Ultimate Spider-Man (currently starring a black/Hispanic kid named Miles Morales) and The Ultimates (a warped mirror version of the Avengers). So do the Avengers, X-Men and Fantastic Four – until May, that is, when that will change. The second issue of Secret Wars, also out in May features a whole lot of Thors, all of whom have appearead in one storyline or another over the last 53 years. The first issue of Secret Wars, out in May, will begin the story with the heroes of two worlds failing to stop a disaster that destroys both worlds.
