One of the fun things that can be done with a lot of the offshoots and limited run series of a sprawling event like Secret Wars is to bring in a lot of talent and expose them more through less than well know projects. Marvel’s got an interesting one kicking off on May 27th, 2015 with the Secret Wars Journal as part of the Battleworld banner. This series is set to run five issues as it delves into a variety of stories across the patchwork world that makes up the event. This issue, writer Prudence Shen and artist Ramon Bachs bring you the Young Avengers of 1602!
Plot concept: Is Lady Kate the nefarious Arrowhead Bandit who robs from the rich and gives to the poor using her hawk-like eyes? Then, writer Michael Rosenberg and artist Luca Pizzari take you to the realm of Egyptia. Can the enslaved X-Men there overthrow their tyrannical overlord Khonshu? Find out this May as two tales of the Secret Wars come to comic shops and digital devices in SECRET WARS JOURNAL #1!
