Marvel Teases "Last Days," a Secret Wars Tie-in

The skies go dark and the world begins to fracture. Secret Wars is coming, and with it the destruction of the Marvel Universe as we know it. Today, Marvel is proud to announce LAST DAYS, the first of three different types of series taking place during the upcoming, highly anticipated Secret Wars!

“What would you do if you learned today was your last day on Earth?” says Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso. “That’s the question your favorite Marvel heroes are going to ask themselves in their LAST DAYS story lines as they brace for Secret Wars and the end of the Marvel Universe.”

Battleworld is set to transform the Marvel Universe as you know it. But before Secret Wars can begin, this chapter must come to a close. What will our heroes do with their final hours? What secrets will be unearthed? Who will they want to spend their LAST DAYS with?

“LAST DAYS is the first of three new brandings for series unique to Secret Wars,” says Marvel SVP Sales & Marketing David Gabriel. “Each branding will bear its own unique trade dress and logo treatment, clearly defining its relationship to the main Secret Wars story. This will make it easier for fans to experience the full scope of Secret Wars. Don’t dare miss these epic tales as our heroes face their impending obliteration!”

Before Secret Wars can begin, the Marvel Universe must end. And it all starts this May as the entire planet faces their LAST DAYS!

So scary!!!

Wow, so this basically repeats the same (lack of) information over and over. Some announcement.

I wonder who they're gonna kill off in this event.

I would ask Hawkeye for She Hulk's digits, is what I would do.

Everyone with an X-Gene or a "4" Logo on their suit :)

Sounds interesting.

OMG these are the last days of our wallets!!!!

So, basically, is these are the Last Days, then there's no way they can have... (puts on sunglasses)... One More Day.

So psyched yet worried about this event. I wonder what's gonna happen

Not a fan of the direction Marvel will take their comics this year, but I've learned to just embrace the chaos and see what happens. If they don't retcon anything, and even if they change things to resemble how they were before Secret Wars, I'll be happy if it's acknowledged as happened.

I don't know what is going to happen...

@rixec:

@rixec: lolz.

@micah: *sigh* sad but true

Franklin Richards is screwed....

I am more afraid of them being too invested with the Cinematic universe and justifying their stupid upcoming retcons just to spite Fox or Sony for their help licences.

There are too many ''coincidences'' for those licences to be buried or changed drastically to not see any bad intent.

Otherwise, I will wait at least a year till I check back again since it will be a mess for months and I don't wanna waste money on such a chaotic, jumping around story which probably gonna have many things that will piss me off.

I feel you.

I feel like they are trying to explain themselves in a totally condescending way. YEAH we get chapters end and new ones begin, but usually when a chapter ends, it doesnt ERASE all youve read in the previous chapters!

@koays: LOL

I only hope this isn't the last days of me being interested in the Marvel universe. Don't screw this up Marvel.

@sirdaveysockrocker: That is what New 52 did basically, thats not what Secret Wars is doing. They are not erasing anything that was before, but it will change things going forward.

I made a better promo!

@micah: exactly my thoughts :(

I'm so confused...

does anyone else get why they are making all these classic stories again? What people thought were else world what ifs type stories? They are keeping the continuity but changing them enough to go with the merger of the 616 and 1610 universes. it's brilliant. Doesn't mean it's good, just that it's keeping most of the continuity in tact. It's brilliant because now so many people are going to buy the retelling of these classic stories. DC just had us guessing what was changed and what wasn't. Everyone was fresh. With this, the universes are established already. I'm wondering what characters will be switched with what characters. I'm wondering if founding members will be switched like Martian Manhunter was swaped with Cyborg in DC. How much of the uniforms are going to be messed with. etc. Is the ultimate Universes Thor going to replace the 616 Thor. We all know Miles is staying, but will he go by the name Spider-man. I don't think he will be that popular if he goes by another name. What's going to happen with that. How does Miles become Spider-man if Spider-man isn't dead. Was Peter a clone or not. Who was Miles in the 616 that left Peter so wide-eyed?

Bad tongues would say ,,DC did it first". But serious, what is this new folie?

@illmatic4177: when they say some characters wont make it in the merger, thats a reboot. its an erasing from continuity. i promise you this will be way more drastic then they are letting on, theyre just trying to split hairs right now to avoid new 52 fears.

Well here is an apt theme song when reading this SL guys.

Earth day - Devin Townsend

I don't really understand why nobody wants them to reboot... It sounds like a great idea to me.

@teerack: LMFAO
