That said, the Owen Reece angle was interesting. Essential really, looking back on how the story has evolved so far. |

I think Secret Wars is a good culmination to Hickman's Avengers run (and to some extent, everything he's written for Marvel), but not a great event miniseries. And the tie-ins seem largely pointless.

The cross overs I've enjoyed the most are Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars and Giant Size Little Marvel. |

Seige would make the list but the art is so bad it really distracts from the (mostly solid) story...

We Stand On Guard (written by Brian K Vaughn of Saga and Y: The Last Man) is pretty good. |

Secret Wars has been good as a story I guess, but it would appear that they save all the action sequences for the offshoot titles. Not much of anything action wise has happened in the main storyline (the T'Challa angle in the new issue does have promise, though).
You wait and watch - Molecule Man has been "saving" the old realities in some pocket universe with the power of the combined Beyonders, and will let it all lose when Doom pisses him off at some point. That or all the cosmic entities are hiding in that bright room with him, just biding their time when they and MM can strike. |

I just finished volumes 1 & 2 of Injustice: Gods Among Us, which are graphic novels inspired by the video games.
I don't want to give anything away, but I would highly recommend it. The art is fantastic and the storyline is pretty cool. It was great to see Batman being a badass dickhead and an unbound Superman. Superman is so ****ing awesome when he's not holding back. |

Yeah, I liked those a lot more than I thought I would. I second this recommendation.

Did a little traveling this week and got caught up on some stuff.
We Stand On Guard is awesome. Reading Saga on an airplane is hard when you've got a nice little retiree lady doing crosswords next to you and you never know whether the next page will be a robot orgy or not. The Civil War series from Secret Wars was actually really good. Didn't expect that. The Star Wars Shattered Empire weekly is worth it. |
