Phase Five

2014- 2015

So at this point Marvel decided to fold a bunch of their characters (mostly from the ultimate universe) into the main 616 one and streamline the comics again. This was done across the event ‘Secret Wars’ and it helped also set up fresh start for a bunch of new characters too.

I’ve put ‘Avengers: Time Runs Out‘ in italics because I wasn’t a big fan of Hickman’s Avengers stuff and chose to just read the wikia on what happened in the comics it collected. I also read up on the Ultimate version of Mr. Fantastic as I didn’t read his comics. He’s pretty important to the Secret Wars stuff. Then I’ve also added my personal ‘Top 3 Tie-ins’ to Secret Wars because I read 7 different ones but I think they made the whole event feel like it dragged on a lot longer. Plus all the tie-ins here take place in essentially their own corner of the universe so they’re totally optional.
