There have been a lot of changes in the Marvel universe lately. This is probably due to the fact that Marvel wants to ensure continuity between its ever growing movie line and its monthly comic line up. With the recent Secret Wars, many shifts have happened and a lot has gone on. But many fans have been wondering quietly about where the Marvel universe was going to head after Secret Wars. Thanks to i09 we finally have some clues:

Some of the confirmations were things fans had expected, such as the news that characters from the universes destroyed during the cataclysmic event that is currently annihilating many of Marvel’s former alternate realities will find a home in the new Marvel universe (many fans already gathered from the recent revelation that Ultimate Spider-Man Miles Morales will become a member of a new Avengers team).

But Marvel also revealed that versions of the characters created for the event — like Maestro, a future evil version of the Hulk appearing in the companies reboot of the Future Imperfect storyline, or the all-female Avengers team A-Force — will cross over from the event, and with them, the Battleworld that Secret Wars takes place on. So essentially, a mashed-up version of the former alternate realities of Marvel Comics will somehow co-exist alongside whatever new reality is created for Marvel Comics to exist in after the event. Is your head hurting yet? Mine is.

Hell, we are even getting an all-female Avengers book. How badass (and long overdue) is that?
