Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

I never finished Secret Wars.   They shot Rocket, and I got pissy and sad and never finished.   So I can't say with any authority, but my understanding of both Secret Wars and Battleworld from the things Marvel was saying before it started?   Was that it was to declutter the Marvel-verse and tie it into one single continuity.   So it's confusing to me that they allude to Battleworld in the main verse, and even have separate universes like Spider-Gwen's.   It's far more baffling that people jump to the other verses at will: I know enough and read enough Battleworld to know that jumping into alternate timelines and time traveling were what broke the world and almost destroyed everything at all ever in the Marvel universe. 

Elements of Ultimate made their way into the prime continuity, that which I was led to believe would be the only continuity.   Either Marvel was misleading us and never planned on this being true, or Spider-Gwen was making them enough fans and money that they couldn't get rid of it and had to do a retcon so fast it made everyone's head spin. 

Either way, 1872 was one of my favorite Battleworlds: it was clever and self-referential, and funny to boot.   It introduced me to a couple new characters, and told new, believable origin stories for others that I knew very well, but were placed in a different time and different world. 

Red Wolf was at least one of the characters I'd never heard of, although I can't place my finger on any others.   I swore there were, but I read a lot of Battleworlds at the same time, so maybe they're all blurring together.  Red Wolf was a Native American with no powers that I could see.   He took over as Sheriff of Timely when Sheriff Rogers died, and is dealing with the racism against him and his people as well as all the issues that come up in an old-timey Western town. 

Until some dude with a weird glowing eye shows up and Red Wolf wakes up in the time of Twitter.  

Well, this is going to be interesting.  Haven't decided if I'll wait for more of this on Marvel Unlimited or not as I'm a bit bogged down with the books I own right now.
