First Look: WEIRDWORLD #1

This June, the most dangerous corner of Battleworld is born in WEIRDWORLD #1 – a brand new entry in the Secret Wars! Today, Marvel is pleased to present your new look at the exciting first issue from blockbuster writer Jason Aaron (Star Wars, Thor) and critically acclaimed artist Mike Del Mundo (All-New X-Men, Elektra). Venture deep into the strangest domain of them all as a lone warrior embarks on a savage quest. It is a world of swords, sorcery and all things bizarre. A land of gods and monster. Where perverted science and arcane magic run rampant. It is Weirdworld, the land where lost things go. Among its twisted and crazed landscapes walks Arkon, the barbarian king. With a sword in one hand and a battle bolt in the other, he ventures through Weirdworld in a desperate attempt to get back home. Yet each bend in the road brings new horrors, new monsters, new awful ways to meet your end. If Arkon is to find his way back to his homeland, he must first survive the Secret Wars! But can he? A lost man in a lost world, Arkon’s quest begins this June in WEIRDWORLD #1!

Del Mundo. Sold.

I am super excited for this

I think I've run RPGs like this. This is a good thing.

Del Mundo is so damn good, can't wait for this one.

The colour palette makes this a heady trip.

Colors and art look awesome, but this looks like they're trying to make some conan stories like they did years ago.

Weird. <It had to be done.>

I am so going to read this.

I love the art of Mike Del Mundo

Man Del Mundo can really hook you with his art.

Love the art, it is truly going to be a weird world.

He certainly looks a lot like Conan.

That's a pretty long description that could have just been replaced with "Mike Del Mundo is drawing this!!!!"

This looks weird.

Interior art is beautiful, but, man, Bisley's cover. His figure work is worse than ever and just looks like he dialled this one in. Would love to see him do some of his grade A pen and ink or full painted work again.

O.O

I was initially going to take a pass on this one. However, with Jason Aaron writing and seeing these interiors, it's joined my pull list of Secret Wars tie-ins.

I for one welcome our new hawksquatch overlords.

@feebadger: I like it.

@vinnyweapons: The Stench of Death solos.

These people are brilliant. All of them. Such truth they share! In Del Mundo, We Trust.

Men of the Inflated Heads are the most intriguing to me.

I'll definitely have to check this out. It's piqued my interest, but that art really grabbed me!

Arkon? That kinda sounds like Conan. Written backwards or something. Dragons and aliens and laser tech Samurai all in one, looks pretty cool. Plus, that map gives Tolkien a run for his money. Really well drawn. The name "Arkon" also reminds me of a really old game i played http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/12/120367/1754758-archon_ultra.jpg
