Hickman and Ribić were clearly having a great time drawing on Marvel's rich assortment of characters for Secret Wars' action-packed climax.The synopsis for Ultimate Invasion #1 reads, "THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE MARVEL UNIVERSE BEGINS! Superstar creators Jonathan Hickman and Bryan Hitch team up! The Illuminati must form once again to stop the Maker from his plans to destroy-or perhaps rebuild-the universe, with Miles Morales at the center of it all! Bryan Hitch’s work on The Ultimates helped redefine super hero comics for the 2000s-wait until you see what he and Jonathan have in store for this decade! Including new data pages by Jonathan Hickman-plus exclusive behind-the-scenes material on the world-building that has gone into this project!" Hickman and Hitch on Bringing Back Marvel's Ultimate Universe There was a staggering amount of action crammed into these issues - set pieces included an army of Hulks leaping into action and a giant-sized Groot destroying Castle Doom. Everyone from Apocalypse to Black Panther got their moment to shine here. An eclectic mix of characters from different domains made an appearance, which gave these issues a really fun feel. Secret Wars issues 7 to 9 formed a spectacular third act, as the inhabitants of Battleworld rose up against Doctor Doom. The story did a good job delving into the inner workings of his empire, noticeably putting a spotlight on Sheriff Strange and the Thor Corps. Doom was quickly established as the absolute authority on Battleworld, quick to eradicate anyone who he perceived as a threat to his power. Battleworld was very well-thought-out, displaying a very rich setting. The world-building in Secret Wars was a resounding highlight of the series.
