Secret Wars (My 2 Cents)

>Mr. Brevoort,

I’ve been loving Secret Wars and dropping massive bucks following some awesome tie-ins (note, this is the best way to do tie-ins!) but the one thing that bugs me is that it’s tough to keep up with location. Many tie-ins do not mention what domain they take place in, and some titles, like the awesome SQUADRON SINISTER make matters more confusing, as they mention cities (or sub-domains?) that aren’t part of the Secret Wars online interactive map. What’s more, the titles that do mention domains by name and actually have the map of Battleworld don’t have their domains highlighted, so while the map for reference is nice, it’s hard to figure out where geographically they are without any highlighting or special artistic treatment. So when I see OLD MAN LOGAN moving from domain to domain, it’s hard to visualize where they are in relation to each other, and in terms of a lot of stories, where they are geographically to the SHIELD.

Honestly, it’s the one criticism I have, and I don’t know if you’d be able to fix it, or would want to, at this point. It’s just a bit confusing for me, and I’m sure there are more who think like me, who want to immerse themselves into Battleworld but have a hard time without having reference points explicitly spelled out to us to help navigate Battleworld through the books. On the flip-side, books like ULTIMATE END and ARMOR WARS do a great job with maps of their domains in the recap section.

Again, just my two cents. Thanks for listening.  >

I think that’s a reasonable thing to be asking about. And we’ll deal with it where we’re able to.

For example,. SQUADRON SINISTER #2 includes a map of the relevant area of Battleworld that will hopefully answer some of your questions 9and no doubt generate a few more.)
