Jonathan Hickman’s reinvention of the Marvel Universe Cosmology begins this week in as the conflict features avatars of diametrically opposed forces, Wyn of The-Powers-That-Be and Aiko of The-Natural-Order-Of-Things, coming out of the shadows and interacting with the larger Marvel Universe.
In G.O.D.S. #1, Hickman starts his worldbuilding from page one as a Babylon Event (an instance where the cosmic balance is upended) occurs, and will require science and magic working together to battle an eldritch horror.
