The Marvel Universe Is Ending And Here's What You Should Know
Posted by Unknown on Thursday, April 30, 2015
The Marvel Universe we’ve known since 1962 will be destroyed in this summer’s huge Secret Wars event, and will be recreated later this year. Here’s how that came to be, including MASSIVE SPOILERS for some of the best Marvel comics in years.
Secret Wars is Marvel Comics' huge event for the summer of 2015.
The company does "events" all the time, but this one is much bigger than the rest in that it will involve the destruction of the Marvel Universe as it has existed since 1961. And when the story is over, there will be a new Marvel Universe in its place.
Alex Ross/Marvel
Though the story of Secret Wars will be told in a flagship 8-issue miniseries by writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Esad Ribic, it's much bigger than that.
Pretty much the entire Marvel line will be replaced by miniseries featuring alternate versions of Marvel's characters on Battleworld, a version of Earth featuring elements of many of the most popular Marvel stories of all time.
But let's come back to Battleworld in a little bit. For the moment, let's focus on how the Marvel Universe is about to be destroyed in Secret Wars.

You Can Actually Attend The School Of Wizardry Now
Posted by Unknown on Thursday, April 30, 2015
Get your wands ready.
Claus Raasted, Liveform, and Rollespils Fabrikken have made it possible to have a full-on wizarding experience at a CASTLE IN POLAND.
Their LARP (Live Action Role Playing) Indiegogo campaign has already raised nearly 300% of it's goal for the four-day event.
That means WIZARDRY ABOUNDS.
"Students" are sorted into one of five houses, then live and go to class in and around the fairytale castle in Czocha, Poland.
And this isn't some lackluster event with a few creatures and potions here and there. The School of Wizardry has a whole scenography team that designs every inch of the space — from the candles down to the potions.
