10 Things You Need To Know About The Future Of Marvel
3. Old Man Logan Could Survive...
Apparently there's a handful of Secret Wars concepts and comics that will continue even when Battleworld has been torn apart and a new Marvel Universe has been built in its place. Ms Marvel will survive just as she was (and books like All-New Hawkeye and The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl are just ignore the whole thing), but there's a few others too. Secret Wars looked as if it was going to be a perfect place for some retcons, with many predicting Thor and Captain America would be returning to their classic iterations in the wake of the universe-resetting event. From the looks of All-New, All-Different Avengers that won't be happening, but another major change might get undone. Nobody thought that Death Of Wolverine would actually be the end for the most popular X-Man going, but Logan's managed to stay six feet under for a few months now. And Marvel could bring him back in the most unexpected way possible by porting over Old Man Logan, the grizzled Wolverine from a dark future also getting a Secret Wars series.
