Media release — After the end of secret Wars and the renewal of the marvel Universe, the Battlerealm is created: a broken section of space-time that’s filled with the shattered remnants of Battleworld. Here, a grand game is played in a cosmic arena where heroes should fight for their very survival and existence. This fall, no one in the marvel universe is safe! This is the contest OF CHAMPIONS!
Inspired by Marvel’s wildly popular mobile combating game, “Marvel contest of Champions”, the comic book series, contest OF CHAMPIONS, will merge the worlds of gaming and comics into an epic journey and present a story unlike anything else from Marvel. “We’re doing something distinct and exciting here by merging Kabam’s highly popular mobile game with the marvel Universe,” says series editor mark Paniccia. “The game has really amazing elements and concepts that will become part of the marvel Comics’ mythos, resonating in marvel continuity in a big way. We’re working closely with the folks at Kabam to expand The Battlerealm and that organically ties into the aftermath of secret WARS.”
And just which heroes will take on the mantle of “champions” in purchase to fight for their very existence in the new marvel Universe? “We’re going to have a whole bunch of Marvel’s finest popping up frequently – even the dead aren’t always beyond the reach of the Contest, so expect the return of an old face or two,” says series writer Al Ewing. “Some of the ‘pawns’ are there until they die, but others are beamed in, forced to fight and then returned to earth with their memories wiped, all to add spice to the battles – in the first issue we have contestants ranging from Iron Man, Gamora and Venom to Moon young boy and Devil Dinosaur, so anybody can have a place in the Battlerealm!”
The contest begins as champions – both heroes and villains – from various universes should compete in a cosmic battle. The supreme prize: their continued existence. The battle begins this fall with contest OF CHAMPIONS #1.
