You know a story is good when it makes you sit back and think "What if this happens to us" or "Could we ever stop anything like this from ever happening" to tell my opinion I believe that our will to live would make us do the same thing that the illuminati did in this amazing comic
If our earth faced the possibility of colliding another It would be mass hysteria in the streets I guess the only to stop it is to send a nuke towards the other earth It’s entirely fiction but Js
I've read the entirety of Hickman's Avengers & New Avengers and been looking for a good video going over Time Runs Out before getting into Secret Wars, I've watched quite a few but yours is, by far, the most comprehensive and the most accurate one. Most people who do this kind of videos usually make rather short videos, skipping over a lot of crucial plot points, or say things which are simply not accurate, buy you've been 100% on point as far as I remember. Thanks for the recap :)
TheMatrixLogOut thanks man. I think/hope I got everything right. And I agree. The video is an hour long because I felt like all the material was crucial and such
The narration was great. Your Enthusiasm really showed. But the plot. dear God the plot. That is the most confusing mess of stupidity since the Mueller manafort trial. I lost track so many times I found myself humming to the 1812 Overture in the background. They can't hate each other that much. why don't Captain America and Ironman just have sex and get married and just leave the rest of us out of it. Continuity is way overvalued when it results in garbage emotion-based pots like this that I could fly a quinjet through.
Love long stories. This is BY FAR the best and most comprehensive explanation of everything leading into Secret WARS. Ive watched my other favorite channels but I got the most out of this one. Great job guys you rock and keep it up!
This is by far one of the best series leading up to another great series that I've read in a while. And great narration. Job well done, I'm at work now and I can't wait to clock out to go catch up and get "Secret Wars" Glad I stopped by and decided to check this out.
I can't say I could be happier about having the story fully laid out for me. I'm grateful you took the time to tell the story, and to finally understand everything that led up to my worst nightmare for Marvel. Thank you.
I am here because I wanna understand how they might adapt this storyline to Dr. Strange 3 and possibly Avengers: Secret Wars. This right here - helped a lot. Brilliant!!! New Subacriber right here. Sending love from Johannesburg, South Africa.
Wow, That was great. I stopped reading comics years ago and recently got back in via digital collections on amazon, but they don't do a great job of showing what came before what so I've been following the story out of order. this helps put the pieces together and explain the larger mosaic. Thanks so much!!! YOU ROCK!!!!
Dude, I watched the entire video. I personally don't mind the full complete review regardless of the time because your narration actually brings me into what's going on. But what an ending. Those final moments of Stark vs. Rogers fight and eventual death of Rogers and the ships destroying everything was insane. As always keep up the good work.
* Coughs * Well my guess? TOAA was thinking " Hey its been a millennia since I had a great nap. I should take one. Hell, what's the worse that can happen?"
Woooowwwwww comicisland I am so glad I found your channel. I love learning about the marvel universe but I find myself without time or knowledge on how to complete an arc. Anyways bravo sir, you got great story telling abilities and I look forward to your other videos.
Years later this and your coverage of injustice are still my go to standards for comic book coverage. Your storytelling was an absolute masterpiece and easily cemented this as my favorite comic book storyline of all time
Wow! A lot of work went into this. Thanks for posting it. Even though I read almost all of Time Runs Out, there were still things I'd misunderstood or just missed altogether. Watching this really helped me to enjoy the story more.
Gentlemen this is by far the best time runs out video I have found, nothing comes close. I've watched this like 3 times great job guys. Thanks for all the work put into this video
My head is spinning but I did enjoy this!!! I stopped buying comics 5 years ago due to economic reasons and kept up with most Marvel and DC stuff online and via youtube. This was epic snd I was relieved to find out I understood and remembered much about the past events involved that led to this!!! Looking forward to the Secret Wars "tie in" stories to be posted and Thanks!!!!!
Wonderful synopsis! I read these books as they came out, but there were several parts I had missed. Loved how you tied together the big threads, especially doom and the illuminati, not to mention Thor and Starbrand/nightmask. Bravo!
These Complete Stories are awesome and so well explained! I've been reading this since the start of Avengers/New Avengers so it's awesome to hear someone break it down.
This is certainly the most ambitious video I've seen on your channel, and it might also be the best. Out of all the You-Tubers that I watch, this was by far the most thorough and informative SW lead-in video. Awesome job!!
Eternal Infinity Exactly. The guardian of existence died.... what should we do? Who is behind it? Simultaneously earths are colliding and destroying realities. Chances are you can't stop the being(s) behind the chaos.... life raft
It was more than two years building up. This felt like the culmination of everything from the late 2000e and early 10s all the way back to civil war at least and helped clean house after what was a rough time to be a Marvel Fan and with several years since it happened at the time of this comment, I cannot appreciate it enough for being the controlled burn that helped bring me back to marvel along with Secret Wars as it's counterpart and I am thriled that with the events of Loki among other things, we are seeing shades of this epic story on the horizon of the MCU
+Noodleydoo Imagine if this story was written by Grant Morrison; Hickman tries his best with the multiverse concept, but Grant would go fucking CRAZY with this. XD
My gods! The first comicbook I ever read was Secret Wars II. It single handedly turned me on to Marvel comics. I used to think it was so complex.... 30 years later, I am an old man with kids of my own, perusing TH-cam vids and I come across this.... holy crap! Awesome storyline! I am so grateful for you putting this on here. Looks like it took alot of effort to tell this tale and I appreciate it... thanks and keep it coming... 'nuff said :)
ComicIsland This is a fantastic video, very well explained. I have been looking for weeks to find a in-depth explanation to the build up of secret Wars as I haven't been reading any of the Avengers titles. My search is now over! Thank you! I will have to watch a second time to make sure it all sinks in, SUBSCRIBED!!
I've been coming across reviews that a very short in nature. Because of it that, I knew a lot of small yet interesting details were being left out. So with that said, I'm really glad I came across your channel. Keep up the good work.
Well done. Thanks for presenting this. I stopped reading comics in the 60's but love the movies of the last 20 years. When I heard Marvel was ending it all I was intrigued and this truly was an epic story.
Excellent review dude. I Have really enjoyed these stories. I jumped in to new avengers post infinity and Hickmans work really captivated me so much that i had to get the start of NA and Avengers under his run. Plus his FF and future foundation work. Just epic. Anyway you Highlighted the spotlight placed on blackpanther and Namor and few others no reviewer has mentioned. which is a shame cuz i really loved the nasty deep hatred these guys developed along the wa, the egos of Capt and Stark, or the dark turn Dr. Strange takes, he abandons 616. Also the Great Society was a jab at DC comics JL, i thought it was hilarious, awesome. Great review Arden & Joey keep up the great work
So many awesome moments ... Some new heros that i didnot know before. and so many heroes missing. It feels like Avenger version of the Spider-Verse but the defrence is that in Spider-verse they manages to save many worlds but in Secret Wars barly saved the last earth... Great job.. looking forward for the next story...
Comic island, VERY WELL DONE. It is my firm belief that people should be rewarded for the hard work they put into something, and this has more than earned my subscription to your channel. Although I can't really claim to understand that much more, I watched for the whole hour and it certainly did clear some things up in my mind. A very well done to you and let me once more congratulate you on all the hard work you must have poured in- I would very much love to watch another video on the goings on of the secret wars themselves, should you be willing to provide such a thing. Once more, a heartfelt thank you and well done, and I certainly look forward to more of your content in the future!
Does anyone realize that the Great Society is Marvel's version of the Justice League (some kind of a troll from Marvel i guess): - Sun God = Superman: super strengh, speed, stamina,enhanced vision - Norn = Dr Fate : Special helmet - The Jovian = Martian Manhunter :Shape-shifting, Telepathy, Superhuman Strength - The Rider - Batman : Both real name is WAYNE, master martial artist, weapon master - Dr Spectrum = Green Lantern : energy projection from a freakin ring - Boundless = Flash : super speed ( both running at the speedy of light), vibrational attunement,
Great work ComicIsland, I appreciate your efforts with this summary. I did not read this story but after watching this youtube, I will definitely buy it along with Secret Wars. This war among multiverse concept reminds me of Warren Ellis' Planetary, which was one of my favourite comics story of all time.
This is great. I read this story, but this reminded me of how much detail Hickman had in his Avengers and New Avengers running side by side. Hickman was gaining a name for himself on his run on FF and Future Foundation, but because I was never a 616 Fantastic Four fan, I never read any issues. I was a fan of the Ultimate Fantastic Four as it was a great jumping on point and I was massive fan of what Millar and Bendis were doing with Ultimate Spider-man, Ultimate X-Men and the The Ultimates (Avengers). I've been a consistent reader of 616 X-Men and related books since 89, as well as Spider-Man titles. I jumped on when McFarlane was still on Amazing. I am as familiar with Marvel and all the characters (THANK YOU WIKIPEDIA) as anyone. So I was always familiar with everything going on in the FF books because of websites. I was first introduced to Hickman when he did his run on the Ultimates where took Brian Bendis hero turned villain in Reed Richards Grant Morrison's the WORLD concept from X-Men and created The Maker. Mark Millar's complete Ultimate Run is one of my all time complete runs and what how far The Ultimate Marvel universe fell after his leave from Marvel. The exception of Bendis continuation on Ult. Spider-Man, what was written better than the 616 counterparts dropped in quality to the point of being unreadable. But I downloaded The Ultimates #1 by Hickman for free and fell in love with his story. I loved his Avengers and New Avengers run so much, and what he was doing with the X-Men that I ended up reading his Fantastic Four run. It was good. I don't feel like it came close to what he did on the Avengers ending with Secret Wars. X-Men was incredible as well and his departure ended up being exactly what I thought it would be. The remaining Krakoa Age books fell so flat. Anyway. This is fun to watch this right now. I don't know if he's saying Rabum Alal correctly tho. he is saying Rah Boom. I thought it was pronounced as Rah Bum.
Wait a minute.... The beyonders killed all the Abstracts and then were taken out by the Avengers? Lol Also was the TOAA just sitting back letting this happen?
Nate Dawg not sure where TOAA is in all of this, or if that dude is involved at all. The Avengers took out two beyonders at great personal cost and due to a host of special circumstance, and technically, only one was actually killed. which is a little better, i guess
Arden DeMarco yeah but the abstracts are way higher than the Avengers which are at Herald level (some) still don't understand how they even scratched one
Nate Dawg Circumstances mean everything. When concepts collide, strength and powers don't matter. Sometimes a being that can't be scratched by even the godliest beings can be defeated by one enemy who has their only weakness etc.
Nate Dawg What a coincidence. It's a general rule in Comics and other alike mediums (manga, novels, movies). Concepts often defy power levels. The most obvious form of that is Magic vs. Tech. Often magic simply has loopholes that defy the logic of technology. Even if you can build a robot that can destroy planets with a single attack, if you have one magician who knows a spell that shuts the robot down he wins, even though he couldn't normally harm a fly.
Arden, I like both your channel and Comicstorian. I LOVE, what you have done with the lead up to secret wars. I feel you have explained it very well, and I like your oral reading style. It's actually similar to the way I read orally. I assume I do very well with my oral reading because of the compliments I have received. So for me to compare your oral reading style to mine is the same as giving you a very big compliment. Congratulations! By the way, I'm not trying to brown nose or schmooze you to get any favors from you, I just was planning to compliment you. Good job.
I haven't bought a comic in years lol but really need to buy the secret wars series as I had when the original 80's series came out. Thanks for the background information it gives me an understanding of how complex the storyline is now!
I have to comment on this because i feel strongly that you undersold and practically ruined the moment. During Thor and Hyperions last stand against the Beyonders, right before their death, Odinson learns that he can no longer lift the hammer of Thorr, because in his final moments, he had once again become worthy. He realizes this, and just laughs. He then grabs his axe Jarnbjorn and races Hyperion toward Valhalla… Such a powerful moment.
This whole story is incredibly convoluted as Marvel is very good at doing. Thanks for doing this though. I haven't read any Avengers stuff since Infinity and I'm reading Secret Wars and am fairly confused so this helped a bit.Still a lot of crap to remember, though.
I like how he blots out the words from the word balloons so we can focus instead on the artwork and his narration. It's a habit of mine to read everything the moment i see words and it gets a bit distracting for me. So kudos to ComicIsland for saving me from my awful compulsive behavior lol ;D
Just wondering. About the Incursions, couldn't they like... Cosmic power Kitty Pride, or another phasing dude or chixk and phase one planet entirely through another?
William Holtzclaw Yeah the fact that we JUST saw an event that connects all those multiverse versions of Spider-man gives this a bitter aftertaste (even more than it already should). They fought so hard to defeat the Inheritors so that they could survive, but it doesn't matter as all universes were destroyed anyway.
William Holtzclaw Dr Doom together with Dr Strange managed to save some fragments from different realities and used them to create a new single world, where Doom is GOD. Enter Secret Wars.
Scott Link This vid is the newest proof that Doom is the most intelligent ever. He stands against "God's", using his intelligences and wisdom of the multiverse itself.
Y’all the real MVPs. An hr of content and no ads!!
Brand M bruh for real i tired to watch the original sin event on comics explained and that dude put over 49 ads on it...every 5 minutes was an add
S Cromartie I watched that one too. It was hard to get through with all the adds.
Ive read the entire story arc and watched this video TWICE, and its still one of the best written stories off all time.
Bro doctor strange 3 might be adapting this
it could work with doctor Strange but... it should be avengers level movie
It's 2024 and I stop 8 months later just say this is deep... continue
You know a story is good when it makes you sit back and think "What if this happens to us" or "Could we ever stop anything like this from ever happening" to tell my opinion I believe that our will to live would make us do the same thing that the illuminati did in this amazing comic
If our earth faced the possibility of colliding another
It would be mass hysteria in the streets
I guess the only to stop it is to send a nuke towards the other earth
It’s entirely fiction but

TheMatrixLogOut thanks man. I think/hope I got everything right. And I agree. The video is an hour long because I felt like all the material was crucial and such
+TheMatrixLogOut if you liked this read his fantastic 4 run i was never really a fan but it was great
Holy shiiiittt. I can't imagine how long it took for you guys to do this. Thank you thank you thank you soon much for this
Ayman Futa no prob... I have been sitting on these Avengers/New Avengers comics for quite some time now :P
you narrated that so well, I enjoyed that so much , thanks for upload
Stephen Cooper thanks for the kind words my friend.
The narration was great. Your Enthusiasm really showed. But the plot. dear God the plot. That is the most confusing mess of stupidity since the Mueller manafort trial. I lost track so many times I found myself humming to the 1812 Overture in the background. They can't hate each other that much. why don't Captain America and Ironman just have sex and get married and just leave the rest of us out of it. Continuity is way overvalued when it results in garbage emotion-based pots like this that I could fly a quinjet through.
I re-watch this every 2 months or so, always a good listen
I am saving so much money watching these.
Love long stories. This is BY FAR the best and most comprehensive explanation of everything leading into Secret WARS. Ive watched my other favorite channels but I got the most out of this one. Great job guys you rock and keep it up!
Liv PROFIT awesome, well that's cool to hear. Thanks!
I totally agree with Profit YoEL. This narration was very well done.
This is by far one of the best series leading up to another great series that I've read in a while. And great narration. Job well done, I'm at work now and I can't wait to clock out to go catch up and get "Secret Wars" Glad I stopped by and decided to check this out.
This guy is the most dedicated under appreciated comic book reviewer on TH-cam.👏👌✌
jack manda we appreciate your kind words. thanks a ton for making our day. =)
This is the video that got me into comics and allowed me to enjoy secret wars. I am now showing this to my kids. Thank you so much for your work.
That is awesome!
I can't say I could be happier about having the story fully laid out for me. I'm grateful you took the time to tell the story, and to finally understand everything that led up to my worst nightmare for Marvel. Thank you.
45:10 I hate how everytime someone tells this tale they forget to mention that thor finally becomes worthy again
Man let me tell you something hickman did his thing with this 1
I am here because I wanna understand how they might adapt this storyline to Dr. Strange 3 and possibly Avengers: Secret Wars.
This right here - helped a lot.
Brilliant!!! New Subacriber right here.
Sending love from Johannesburg, South Africa.
Wow, That was great. I stopped reading comics years ago and recently got back in via digital collections on amazon, but they don't do a great job of showing what came before what so I've been following the story out of order. this helps put the pieces together and explain the larger mosaic. Thanks so much!!! YOU ROCK!!!!
The Marvel heroes managed to live long enough to see themselves turned into villains. sigh.
blindsay21 And then fight themself and... Yea Multiverses do that to people ;)
I love the music that you play throughout the video. It fits the story
Hickman's run was epic, and you summarized it perfectly.
Great video.
Dude, I watched the entire video. I personally don't mind the full complete review regardless of the time because your narration actually brings me into what's going on. But what an ending. Those final moments of Stark vs. Rogers fight and eventual death of Rogers and the ships destroying everything was insane. As always keep up the good work.
The only reason why Tony is like that was because of the inversion. Nobody seems to know he didn't change back when it is quite obvious.
man that was an epic hour and a half .... between you and comicstorian you guys got this on lockdown ...cheers
And what was The One Above All doing during all this??????????????
* Coughs * it was wayyyy past his bedtime
Arden DeMarco lmaaaooo
* Coughs * Well my guess? TOAA was thinking " Hey its been a millennia since I had a great nap. I should take one. Hell, what's the worse that can happen?"
They kill a Beyonders, yet the living Tribunal is taken out by three? That's a damn joke
* Coughs * He was fapping. What? New existences do need some fuel after all.
Woooowwwwww comicisland I am so glad I found your channel. I love learning about the marvel universe but I find myself without time or knowledge on how to complete an arc. Anyways bravo sir, you got great story telling abilities and I look forward to your other videos.

Gentlemen this is by far the best time runs out video I have found, nothing comes close. I've watched this like 3 times great job guys. Thanks for all the work put into this video
This was amazing, well done. The five dislikes are probably for the story, not the video.
This was so good that I had to watch it twice. That's 2 hours of my life that was well spent
Thank you for taking the time to explain all of this. I Was lost after reading SW #1
Thank you for your time making all these long videos. I really enjoy them.
My head is spinning but I did enjoy this!!! I stopped buying comics 5 years ago due to economic reasons and kept up with most Marvel and DC stuff online and via youtube. This was epic snd I was relieved to find out I understood and remembered much about the past events involved that led to this!!! Looking forward to the Secret Wars "tie in" stories to be posted and Thanks!!!!!
Wonderful synopsis! I read these books as they came out, but there were several parts I had missed. Loved how you tied together the big threads, especially doom and the illuminati, not to mention Thor and Starbrand/nightmask. Bravo!
This was one of the most epic stories I’ve seen
"WHY DON'T WE JUST TAKE THE EARTHS AND PUSH THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE"
This was a lot of fun to listen to. Thanks for sharing the story!
These Complete Stories are awesome and so well explained! I've been reading this since the start of Avengers/New Avengers so it's awesome to hear someone break it down.
This is certainly the most ambitious video I've seen on your channel, and it might also be the best. Out of all the You-Tubers that I watch, this was by far the most thorough and informative SW lead-in video. Awesome job!!
As soon as they saw the Living Tribunal's corpse they should have started building those multi-verse life rafts.
+Lamar Green Agreed if you see something such as that. It ,means everything is ending
Eternal Infinity Exactly. The guardian of existence died.... what should we do? Who is behind it? Simultaneously earths are colliding and destroying realities. Chances are you can't stop the being(s) behind the chaos.... life raft
I agree i would of been with you on that one lol
It was more than two years building up. This felt like the culmination of everything from the late 2000e and early 10s all the way back to civil war at least and helped clean house after what was a rough time to be a Marvel Fan and with several years since it happened at the time of this comment, I cannot appreciate it enough for being the controlled burn that helped bring me back to marvel along with Secret Wars as it's counterpart and I am thriled that with the events of Loki among other things, we are seeing shades of this epic story on the horizon of the MCU
My head hurts...
Noodleydoo Oh thank god. I thought I was the only one. :)
Harry Morgan I like Hickman--he's done wonders with the Black Panther--but you have to admit his stories are frikkin' COMPLICATED.
Noodleydoo True
+Noodleydoo Imagine if this story was written by Grant Morrison; Hickman tries his best with the multiverse concept, but Grant would go fucking CRAZY with this. XD
+Noodleydoo me too
I love your format, although it's a bit long.. It's good to get the whole story in one bite...Instead of tune in next week...Great job...
2020 still get the chillz world 💯⚡⚡⚡

You really have done the best walkthrough of this story so far
Excellent review dude. I Have really enjoyed these stories. I jumped in to new avengers post infinity and Hickmans work really captivated me so much that i had to get the start of NA and Avengers under his run. Plus his FF and future foundation work. Just epic. Anyway you Highlighted the spotlight placed on blackpanther and Namor and few others no reviewer has mentioned. which is a shame cuz i really loved the nasty deep hatred these guys developed along the wa, the egos of Capt and Stark, or the dark turn Dr. Strange takes, he abandons 616.
Also the Great Society was a jab at DC comics JL, i thought it was hilarious, awesome.
Great review Arden & Joey keep up the great work
So many awesome moments ...
Some new heros that i didnot know before.
and so many heroes missing.
It feels like Avenger version of the Spider-Verse but the defrence is that in Spider-verse they manages to save many worlds but in Secret Wars barly saved the last earth...
Great job.. looking forward for the next story...

This video is a godsend considering i am very new to comics. Thank you so much.
Thank you for all the hardwork ya'll did on this. Your really, brought out the characters. Thanks.
Does anyone realize that the Great Society is Marvel's version of the Justice League (some kind of a troll from Marvel i guess):
- Sun God = Superman: super strengh, speed, stamina,enhanced vision
- Norn = Dr Fate : Special helmet
- The Jovian = Martian Manhunter :Shape-shifting, Telepathy, Superhuman Strength
- The Rider - Batman : Both real name is WAYNE, master martial artist, weapon master
- Dr Spectrum = Green Lantern : energy projection from a freakin ring
- Boundless = Flash : super speed ( both running at the speedy of light), vibrational attunement,
Great channel dude, keep up the awesome work
I feel a little drained after this, not to mentioned confused. But I feel a big thank you is in order for all your effort. So Thank You +Comicisland.
Great work ComicIsland, I appreciate your efforts with this summary. I did not read this story but after watching this youtube, I will definitely buy it along with Secret Wars.

I appreciate that you took your time on this long story, subscribing now
incredible job dude. amazing story and your narrating made it 10x better. thankyou!
8:49.. see how the text balloons are shaped like... Mickey Mouse...
Is that a reminder that Marvel is now owned by Disney? (a subtle in-joke)
Wait a minute....
The beyonders killed all the Abstracts and then were taken out by the Avengers? Lol
Also was the TOAA just sitting back letting this happen?
Nate Dawg not sure where TOAA is in all of this, or if that dude is involved at all. The Avengers took out two beyonders at great personal cost and due to a host of special circumstance, and technically, only one was actually killed. which is a little better, i guess
Arden DeMarco yeah but the abstracts are way higher than the Avengers which are at Herald level (some) still don't understand how they even scratched one
Nate Dawg Circumstances mean everything. When concepts collide, strength and powers don't matter. Sometimes a being that can't be scratched by even the godliest beings can be defeated by one enemy who has their only weakness etc.
Yourson Isold its funny that you say that. I saw someone asking what I asked and I think a editor answered with something like what you said
Nate Dawg What a coincidence. It's a general rule in Comics and other alike mediums (manga, novels, movies). Concepts often defy power levels.
The most obvious form of that is Magic vs. Tech. Often magic simply has loopholes that defy the logic of technology. Even if you can build a robot that can destroy planets with a single attack, if you have one magician who knows a spell that shuts the robot down he wins, even though he couldn't normally harm a fly.
Arden, I like both your channel and Comicstorian. I LOVE, what you have done with the lead up to secret wars. I feel you have explained it very well, and I like your oral reading style. It's actually similar to the way I read orally. I assume I do very well with my oral reading because of the compliments I have received. So for me to compare your oral reading style to mine is the same as giving you a very big compliment. Congratulations! By the way, I'm not trying to brown nose or schmooze you to get any favors from you, I just was planning to compliment you. Good job.

+Damian Torres Why say this?
+Reuben Hitchcock Or, The Mocker my thoughts as well. it's the internet no other explanations required.
WOW what an EPIC tale... thank you 4 doing this you guys are awesome, keep it up !!!
Holy snikies!!! what a great story ty for Narrating this I could never follow Comics now I can finally know what its like to get some of them.
Rock on!! I love these long complete stories!! Just like a bedtime story's!
I haven't bought a comic in years lol but really need to buy the secret wars series as I had when the original 80's series came out. Thanks for the background information it gives me an understanding of how complex the storyline is now!
Thank you for this compilation! you really did an awesome job!
Short review for a long video: well done! Thank you.
I NEVER say this about a video. But DAMN this shit was AWESOME. Marvel always amazes me with their stories.
Great video. Thanks for sharing it.
I have to comment on this because i feel strongly that you undersold and practically ruined the moment. During Thor and Hyperions last stand against the Beyonders, right before their death, Odinson learns that he can no longer lift the hammer of Thorr, because in his final moments, he had once again become worthy. He realizes this, and just laughs. He then grabs his axe Jarnbjorn and races Hyperion toward Valhalla… Such a powerful moment.
This whole story is incredibly convoluted as Marvel is very good at doing. Thanks for doing this though. I haven't read any Avengers stuff since Infinity and I'm reading Secret Wars and am fairly confused so this helped a bit.Still a lot of crap to remember, though.
Never get bored watch this video. It keep me want to watch it again and again. Thank you for your amazing job :)
6:07
I'm glad this is summarized for us, as that would be the moment I would have table flipped this story and walked away.
thank you sir, this was amazing.
What a sick ass movie trilogy this could be .
Okay then, nevermind my other comment. Thank you again for what you do. It is good.
brilliant cant wait to watch your vids on secret wars!! brilliant job !
That was GREAT!!! Thanks
Thank you. Really enjoyed your take on Secret Wars.
Wow, thanks for this recap.
I like how he blots out the words from the word balloons so we can focus instead on the artwork and his narration. It's a habit of mine to read everything the moment i see words and it gets a bit distracting for me. So kudos to ComicIsland for saving me from my awful compulsive behavior lol ;D
Just wondering.
About the Incursions, couldn't they like... Cosmic power Kitty Pride, or another phasing dude or chixk and phase one planet entirely through another?
29:00 This is when Stark is evil right? Because of the events of Axis
Yup. When he basically became and leaned into being the corrupt asshole stuff like Civil War and other stories at the time made him out to be
Great Job bro! Thank you for the details!
Whoooo!!! long story.. but definitely worth it!! Now alot of recent news makes sence lol
Mmmh long reviews
Bravo sir :)
That was a really great read. Thanks.
Nice video!! Was a little funny with the error at the 39th minute or so :) hehe
thanks for the audio. more please!
holy fucking shit this just.... god damn... all but the ultimate universe and 616 are gone? DAMN. there goes the spiderverse...
William Holtzclaw Yeah the fact that we JUST saw an event that connects all those multiverse versions of Spider-man gives this a bitter aftertaste (even more than it already should). They fought so hard to defeat the Inheritors so that they could survive, but it doesn't matter as all universes were destroyed anyway.
exactly, it fells just as it should, the multiverse is dieing
William Holtzclaw Wait, this means that none of the new Marvel movies matter at all, since they're all on their own timeline, right?
well, we can always assume that the movie time line is laging behind 616, but yea, they gonna die
William Holtzclaw Dr Doom together with Dr Strange managed to save some fragments from different realities and used them to create a new single world, where Doom is GOD. Enter Secret Wars.
Great job! thank you for posting!
Im 30 minutes in and I still don't get where the incursions are coming from.
Bravo sir, very well done
This is the second time I've watched this and it still gives me goosebumps
On my third or 4th time now
Still good
Thx for the vid bro. I greatly appreciated this. Doom is Law...!
I just watched this and it was amazing. Very informative
Scott Link This vid is the newest proof that Doom is the most intelligent ever. He stands against "God's", using his intelligences and wisdom of the multiverse itself.
The man is above and beyond all....no pun intended TOAA
What an amazing story can't wait to see this translated to the silver screen
This aged well
So Thor's dead
