Ratings and reviews

I've basically fallen out of favor with Marvel comics, but this was a really good story to say the least. But it was, in my opinion, over too fast. And I'm scratching my head wondering why use the title Secret Wars? It was nothing remotely close to the original Secret Wars from the 80s, so why use that title at all? I guess to entice readers but not necessary in my opinion. Should have called it Ultimate Final Crisis lol.

I complain that as much as I like Marvel it is confusing how they rename series after earlier ones. This follows Hickman's Time Runs Out series (spoiler), after multi-verse dies. As for the story, it's a little too much or perhaps too ambitious for the amount of pages, and I think Hickman's a genius.

Try to find this same cover over in Amazon/Comixology, and you'll see inconsistency everywhere. # of pages, retail price, synopsis, etc. It looks like Google's version of this is the incorrect one. I am frozen from purchasing either one because of this.
