The 33th review 26th BOOK "Secret Wars"

This book is very good, this book has an amazing story that can interest the reader. And I have read this book more than once. You should read this book! By Rifaldi Fauzan

We being with Doom battling Namor and Black Panther. Panther is wearing an Infinity Gauntlet. Panther freezes Doom and Namor uses his trident to shatter Doom’s body. Doom then reforms himself and the brawl is on! Doom blasts Namor taking him out. Then Doom and Panther lock horns.

We cut to Sue Storm and Val with Reed Richards. Sue says that she remembers Reed from the holo-video. That Reed is part of the group of people who killed Sheriff Strange. Reed replies that it was Doom who killed Stephen Strange. Sue says “You mean God.” Reed replies “I mean Victor.” Reed says that he is here to end this charade. Sue asks who Reed really is. Reed responds that he is Reed Richards and that he is the one who fixes things.

Reed and Ultimate Universe Reed then enter the cave where the Molecule Man lives. Molecule Man asks Reed if he brought him something to eat. Reed apologizes that he did not bring anything for Molecule Man. Reed asks how Molecule Man is feeling. Molecule Man responds that he is starving. Reed says that an infinite number of missing mouths not being fed will make a person hungry. Reed says that they are here to help Molecule Man.

Ultimate Reed then creates a sphere surrounding himself and Reed. Ultimate Reed says that this sphere is creating a temporal bubble. That in this closed temporal environment that they can holistically visit the past. We see Reed transforming into a prehistoric man. Ultimate Reed says that Reed’s weakness with his wife a moment ago made him sick. Ultimate Reed asks if the endgame really is nothing more than weepy nostalgia for something that never was.

Ultimate Reed asks “Who is interested in a weepy god?” Molecule Man replies “Me.” Molecule Man then says that one can actually holistically enjoy pizza and that it comes in slices. Molecule Man transforms Ultimate Reed’s body into slices and consumes him.

Reed then transforms back into his normal self. Molecule Man tells Reed that he better get it together because “he” is coming.

We cut to Doom kicking Black Panther’s ass. Panther starts smiling. Doom asks why Panther is smiling after getting his ass beat. Doom then realizes that all of this was just a distraction. Doom then teleports away from the scene. We then see Doom appearing outside of Molecule Man’s hidden cave. Sue asks Doom if what Reed said was true. Doom says that Sue has to trust him. Sue replies “Like how Stephen trusted you?” (Damn. Burn.)

Doom remains silent and then enter’s the cave. Doom is in a full rage and he calls out Reed. Reed says that he is here to convince Molecule Man that maybe Reed has a better solution than Doom’s solution. Doom says that he saved millions. That Molecule Man saved millions. That Reed only saved himself. That Reed could not even save his own family. Reed yells “How dare you?!” Doom replies that he has been dared to choose between living and dying for millions. Doom says that now he chose for Reed. Doom snaps his fingers. But, nothing happens. Doom is shocked. Molecule Man asks if Doom brought him anything to eat. Doom says “No.” Molecule Man replies “Then that makes the two of you equal, doesn’t it?”

Now that Molecule Man has stripped Doom of his godlike omnipotence we are set for a good old-fashioned brawl. Reed attacks Doom and the two proceed to beat the crap out of each other. Doom says that Omnipotence did not make any of his decisions easy. Doom says that he has always had power and it has never been easy for him. Reed says that Doom made himself a god and then replaced Reed. Doom says that the first thing he offered was salvation. Reed yells “You stole my family!”

Doom says that Reed’s family chose Doom. Doom asks why Reed cannot admit that Doom has done good things. Reed says that he accepts that Doom has done some good things. But, that Doom could have done more. That Doom is so afraid of losing the things that he saved that he holds them too tightly. Reed says that a tree is just a seed in its realized state. Doom replies that this is Reed’s mistake. That Reed abandons the good because he desires the perfect.

Doom says that it has always been the same between the two of them. That Reed thinks that he is better than Doom. Reed says that Doom is wrong about that. Reed says that he always thought that Doom could be better than what he was. Doom says that he means right now. In this moment. That if Reed had gotten all the power that Reed thinks he could have done so much better than Doom. Reed replies “Yes. And we both know it, don’t we?” Doom replies “Yes, damn you. Now die!”

Doom is about to deliver the killing blow to Reed when Molecule Man interrupts and says “Okay, then. If you both agree…” Suddenly, Battleworld explodes. We see Panther pulling the yellow Infinity Gem (The Time Gem) off of the Gauntlet. Panther holds the Time Gem in his hand. We see everything disappears into a blinding white light.

The white fades away and we see Panther in Wakanda. We see Kimo, T’Dori and T’Konda all standing around a map of their solar system. One of them mentions that the map of the solar system has 12 planets so it is not their solar system. Panther then approached them and says that the solar system they are looking at is the one they are headed for. Panther says that the Makers are the finest of their generation.

Panther points to one of the planets and says that it is an M-class planet circling an orange dwarf star that is light years away. Panther says that the West has abandoned space. That the East crawls when it can run. As a result, Wakanda now possesses the preeminent space program in the world. That they must go farther into the stars than ever before.

We then see a massive rocket blasting off from Wakanda. Panther says that some people see the future sooner than others and must pave the way. Panther say that this is where it begins. That the rocket is for Earth Command to support local system travel. Panther says that they will drag mankind to the stars on the back of Wakandan science. That this is their first step. This is their Alpha Flight.

We cut “8 months later. The Marvel Universe. The Prime Earth.” We zip to New York City where Miles Morales is standing on a rooftop. We cut to the blinding white and see Molecule Man thanking Miles for the burger that Miles gave him. Molecule Man says “I owe you one.” We shift back to Miles on a rooftop. Spider-Man (Peter Parker) appears and asks Miles what he told his mom that he would be doing. Miles replies that he told he he was going to study with a friend. Spider-Man asks Miles if he is ready to go beat up some bad guys. Miles says “Oh Hell yes.”  The two then swing off.

We shift to Reed, Sue, Val, Franklin and the rest of the Future Foundation along with Molecule Man standing in what appears to be the Multiverse. Val explains how Molecule Man is the key. That he is a human repository of unlimited power. That Molecule Man’s omnipotent power must be used and directed by an individual. In this case it is Reed. Franklin is a universal shaper. A dreamer. That Franklin has ideas for entire universes. Franklin gives these universes to Reed. Reed then uses Molecule Man’s power to spin these universes off into their own realities. Then they slice off once of Molecule Man’s multiple selves that were all merged together when the Multiverse was destroyed prior to the beginning of Secret Wars. An individual Molecule Man is then sent into the newly created universe to serve as an anchor. Also, by getting rid of all the multiple Molecule Men merged inside of the 616 Molecule Man they are able to make Molecule Man better and whole once again thereby healing him.

Val says that this is just the beginning. That they need to explore and catalogue all of these new multiple universes. Sue replies that they are like Lewis and Clark except for all of existence. Val says “Well, sure mom. If Lewis and Clark were also creating the land they were exploring.”

Sue then puts her arm around Reed and the two stare at the newly reborn Multiverse. Franklin asks Reed if this means that they are not super heroes anymore. Reed says that all that matters is that they do good not necessarily how they do it. That right now what they are doing might be the most important work they have ever done. And they get to do it together as a family. Reed says that for now they won’t be super heroes. That it will just be science. No more Mister Fantastic. Just Dad. Reed asks “That doesn’t sound too bad, does it?” Franklin replies “Nope. Gonna play now.” (I love this scene. Love it.)

Sue hugs Reed and says for not being a super hero Reed sure delivered a pretty amazing final act. Reed replies “Still, Johnny and Ben.” Sue said that they could not be with them. That they should not be with them. That their act isn’t anywhere even close to be finished.” Sue says that what Reed as done is enough. Sue says “The life raft broke and I thought we were done…and you saved us.”

Reed shrugs and replied that he had some help. We cut to the Molecule Man in the blinding white once again. We then shift to Doom’s castle. Reed narrates that the help he received bought him enough time to fix so many things that he had been wrong about. Reed says that he learned that the difference between living and dying is managing fear. About not being so afraid to lose the things you love that you end up holding them too tightly.

We see Doom staring at his mask. Reed narrated “I used to believe in universal contraction. Entropy and the end of all things. Well, I’ve change my mind. I’m letting go. Because now I believe in expansion. I believe we endure. Don’t you see? Everything lives.”

We pan back and see Doom’s face. Doom’s face is no longer disfigured. Doom laughs. End of story.
