We’re taking a trip to Weirdworld! What is it? We’re not really sure. But Jason Aaron and Mike del Mundo rebooted it as part of Marvel’s 2015 Secret Wars event.

It’s got everything: underwater monkeys, crystal warriors, and great art. But is it any good?

Then we continue Ultimates with #12, where we finally learn what Captain America’s A doesn’t stand for.

Next Time: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (1992) by Shotaro Ishinomori (don’t confuse it with the 2005 manga by Akira Himekawa)

We’re finishing up the back half of Secret Wars II with issues #6-9. So far, we haven’t been very impressed with The Beyonder and his antics on Earth, but will his cool new “Thriller” vest help matters at all?

Thankfully the Molecule Man takes center stage to give us something to latch on to.

Then, the Thunderbolts are back on Earth in issue #15, and they’ve gotta figure out how to live life on the run.

Some of My Friends Read Comics 241 – Secret Wars II, Pt. 1 + Thunderbolts #14

It’s Secret Wars II, the sequel to Secret Wars… and it’s very different! The Beyonder is on Earth and he’s just a confused, lonely alien who wants love. It’s only 9 issues, so we read the first 5 issues this time and try to understand why it exists.

Then we move onto Thunderbolts #14 where they make it back to Earth too!
