As Marvel’s “Secret Wars” re-something or other rolls on, and Battleworld become a crushed pizza of mashed up worlds, more fan favorite comics are entering their “last days.” Which may not be very long. If Ms Marvel doesn’t come back after Secret Wars I think there would be rioting—or at the very least harsh shunning.
First, Dan Slott and Mike Allred bring you “The Death of Everything That Ever Was or Will Be” in SILVER SURFER #13. From the edge of Battleworld to the far reaches of the cosmos – every planet, moon and star has been extinguished. Except for the Surfer, Dawn and Toomie! How did they pull this off? And more importantly, can they figure out a way to bring everything back?
Then, the end of the world comes to Jersey City in MS. MARVEL #16 as G. Willow Wilson and Adrian Alphona bring Kamala Khan to the brink of destruction, as she learns the hard way what it takes to be a hero. But is it too late for her to save the world she has sworn to protect?
When the end comes – will you fall into the darkness, or will you fight against the dying of the light? That is the question as Natasha Romanoff faces her LAST DAYS in BLACK WIDOW #19. Nathan Edmondson and Phil Noto take the most dangerous woman in the world to the very end of all things, as she finds herself unexpectedly connected to one of the darkest moments of her past.
Finally, when you live every day like it’s your last, what will you do when it finally comes? The end of the Marvel Universe won’t stop Frank Castle from doling out retribution in THE PUNISHER #19. Nathan Edmondson and Mitch Gerads take Frank Castle back into the fray for one last war. One of the Punisher’s allies falls. Someone picked the wrong fight.

BTW while I was prepping these cover files, I noticed that when its shrunk down, the Secret Wars logo looks like Cartman.
These are the only four Marvel comics I’m reading :/ She-Hulk was the fifth but that’s gone as of this month.
I wonder how all those new comics readers getting Ms. Marvel digitally are going to take to all this crossover stuff…
Not terribly surprised here…Black Widow, Silver Surfer and Punisher all sold around 21K or less last month. Ms. Marvel is perfectly safe, but the rest are probably heading to an actual close.
As a fan who seen the surfer for the first time,49 years ago in the famous galactus trilogy, then the 18 issue run from 1968 to 1970,I can say that VERY few of the old fans supported his new series. It was geared towards the dr. who fans,with him taking on a female companion, and much more light hearted.being the surfer fan that I am,I still bought it.
