Secret Wars (2015)

Secret Wars is a 2015 comic book storyline published by Marvel Comics. It is not to be confused with the original but similarly-named 1984-1985 miniseries. Beginning on May 6, 2015, the storyline will include a core Secret Wars mini-series, written by Jonathan Hickman and drawn by Esad Ribić, that will pick up from where the "Time Runs Out" storyline running in Avengers and New Avengers ends.

The storyline involves the Marvel Universe combining with various other alternate universes (including the Ultimate Marvel, Age of Apocalypse and Marvel 2099 universes) into Battleworld, a world that exhibits aspects of the various universes. This results in a new, single universe that will become the status quo for Marvel Comics, similar to how DC Comics restructured its universe in storylines such as Crisis on Infinite Earths.

The core limited series will be eight issues long, and will likely run for five months. The mini series are in three categories which are Battleworld, Warzones, and Last Days. One of the core miniseries is Ultimate End which will end the Ultimate Marvel imprint after 15 years. Ultimate End is written by Brian Michael Bendis and artist Mark Bagley, the team that began the Ultimate Marvel universe with Ultimate Spider-Man.
