Madness," by Ed Brisson and Scott Hepburn. Both tales provide unique glimpses into the diverse and unpredictable realms of Battleworld.
Main Story - "Soldier Supreme": In a reality where Steve Rogers and Frank Castle are merged into a singular, super-powered entity known as Soldier Supreme, this story explores the challenges and conflicts faced by this hybrid hero. Tasked with maintaining order in the war-torn domain of the Hydra Empire, Soldier Supreme must navigate the treacherous landscape while confronting familiar faces and unexpected threats. Joshua Williamson's writing skillfully combines elements of military drama and superhero action, offering a fresh take on two iconic characters. Mike Henderson's art captures the intensity of battle, and Jordan Boyd's colors enhance the visual impact, immersing readers in the chaos of Battleworld.
Backup Story - "M.O.D.O.K. Madness": Ed Brisson and Scott Hepburn present a humorous and offbeat tale set in the Technopolis domain of Battleworld. As M.O.D.O.K. seeks the perfect lair, he stumbles upon an unexpected ally in Deadpool. The story unfolds with a mix of absurdity and charm, exploring the dynamic between these two eccentric characters. Brisson's writing injects humor into every panel, and Hepburn's art complements the comedic tone, delivering expressive character designs and amusing visuals. Matt Milla's colors add vibrancy to the Technopolis landscape, creating a lighthearted and entertaining narrative.
Both stories in Secret Wars: Battleworld #1 showcase the creative depth and versatility within the Secret Wars event. "Soldier Supreme" offers a gripping and action-packed exploration of a merged hero, while "M.O.D.O.K. Madness" provides a delightful comedic interlude in the midst of Battleworld's chaos. The combination of strong storytelling and dynamic art makes this issue a standout addition to the Secret Wars series, inviting readers to savor the diverse tales within Battleworld.
