• THE SHIELD is the only thing that protects the more civilized areas of Battleworld from the ZOMBIE HORDES, DEATH MACHINES, AND ANNIHILATION WAVES.
• Anyone who annoys Doom gets sent to The Shield. Anyone who gets sent to the Shield deals with ABIGAIL BRAND.
• Miss America, Lady Katherine, Kang the Conqueror, Leah Shieldmen, the Endless Summers Company, Leonardo Da Vinci and a cast of thousands will fight to the death to keep Battleworld safe. But don’t worry, Kieron Gillen is writing this book, so I’m sure everything will end happily for everyone.
• “Imagine NextWave as a tragedy,” says Kieron, if anyone asks him about it.

Ok, so far I think this is wildly underrated in all things old school Marvel.
“Marvel Superheroes: Secret Wars”
This surrounds a variety of superheroes, and a variety of supervillains, being abducted from earth and transported to a newly terraformed planet seemingly made up of various other planets.
Pitched against each other by an unknown entity it’s a clash of titans. Comparably the older comics are a bit, well, obtuse. But the concept here is awesome and even back then they killed it with this one.
Still trying to finish it but always reading and buying new books so sometimes things move to the back burner for a little bit.
So the more and more we hear on the podcast about how Christopher and Adam lovingly created their own fictional history of comics in addition to their own giant comics story, the more I feel weirdly fascinated that they somehow successfully anticipated the whole SW arc BEFORE it happened.
Like in 2011 we get SotM as a game with an already developed arc that involves a weird cosmic being that wants to destroy everything by collapsing the realities, a group of superpowerful beings who are aiding that destruction, heroes who sometimes think they have to do the same thing to save reality, a character who wants to steal that cosmic being’s power for themself, and as part of the whole mix a random nobody who accidentally becomes a chosen one who has reality-warping powers by channeling a strange universal cosmic force. In the end the force is defeated but as a result the multiverse essentially reboots into only a couple major timelines.
Then in 2012 we get… pretty much the same overall thing out of Marvel. Including that chosen one character. (You just can’t tell me that the Starbrand and the Superflow don’t feel similar in basic concept to the Virtuosos and the Void.)
The specific details involved obviously vary quite a bit to put it mildly, but the situation of two writers completely independently coming up with similar-feeling arcs at close to the same time has always bemused and amused me greatly. (As well as the coincidence that I ended up liking that “chosen one” character best in both stories, albeit for obviously very dissimilar reasons.)
