The Marvel Universe is about to face its doom and Earth-616 is about to take its course into colliding with its equivalent in the Ultimate Universe. Planet Earth's superheroes scramble as they try to save lives of both human and metahumans as they try to escape Earth and find a new world where they could start all over again.
"Secret Wars" No. 1 revealed the unlikely faith of planet Earth. It is about to collide with another planet from the Ultimate Universe and mankind's faith is about to face an end. Luckily, the Fantastic Four headed by Mr. Fantastic managed to create a life craft after knowing about the impending doom Earth-616 is about to face. Together with Nick Fury, The Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther, Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man and the rest of the Avengers, they try to save as much as they can before they launch into space, finding a new world to continue living on.
Earth-616 is already starting to feel the impact that is about to send it to its end. Unfortunately, as buildings explode and lives are lost, superheroes will die along the way. Rocket gets shot and the faith of the Fantastic Four will be in a balance.
Issue No. 2 of the "Secret Wars" was released last Wednesday, May 13, 2015 and offers a glimpse of another universe, the BattleWorld, where pieces of the Ultimate Universe and the Marvel Universe managed to find sanctuary. The Marvel Universe and Ultimate Universe is all but a memory. Humans and metahumans will start anew as they discover the mysteries in the Battleworld.
Chapter 3 of the "Secret Wars" on the other hand is expected to feature the dangers lurking around the Battleworld. Earth's superheroes will continue to fights against foes, old and new alike, to survive and to continue on living. The faith of their existence will most likely be revealed in this chapter.
