See The Wildest Warzone On Battleworld In Weirdworld #1

I have a feeling a lot of things are going to be unusual once Secret Wars rolls around and every living being left on every Marvel universe is thrown together on one planet, but only Weirdworld is making the claim that it will be the “strangest domain of all” on the new Battleworld.

Writer Jason Aaron and artist Mike Del Mundo are getting ready to prove it in the pages of Weirdworld #1. The main character is Arkon, a new version of the sometime Avengers foe and occasional ally who just wants to find his way home. Doing so will mean a journey through a land of swords, sorcery, and a bunch of stuff even crazier than that.

“[Arkon] was once a great king and conqueror,” Aaron said in an interview with Marvel.com. “The lord of the warlords. A badass barbarian ruler who’s been trained to kill since birth. But when we meet him in Weirdworld #1, he’s lost and alone in a land he can’t explain or understand. A world where he has to fight every day just to survive, as each bend in the road brings new horrors, new monsters, new awful ways to die or go mad. All Arkon wants is to find his way home.”

Don’t we all just want that at the end of the day? Maybe this will be the most relatable Secret Wars tie-in of all … but I kind of doubt it! Take a look at some of Del Mundo’s concept art for Arkon and prepare for Weirdworld #1 to live up to its name this June.
