10 Things You Need To Know About Marvel's Secret Wars Retcon

5. ...But Prepare For Some Upset

The only problem with Secret Wars is if Marvel screw up the same way DC are promising to with Convergence. See, Convergence involves (similarly) a bunch of beloved alternate realities coming together under a weird domed city and forced to fight. And given DC's penchant for violence and destroying their past, everyone will probably die. Which is kind of sadistic. They're going to bring back some of their audience's favourite characters and storylines, and then tear them apart. From the looks of it, Secret Wars might do the very same thing. Remember the aforementioned One More Day, which kind of broke Spider-Man as a character? Well, one of the Secret Wars worlds involves Peter Parker and MJ still married, and with a kid. Which is awesome! And will be totally wiped off the map, because that's way too big a retcon for the main Spidey series! So you might get a look at lots of stuff you'd love €“ that, nineties-style X-Men €“ before it's cruelly snatched away.
