Secret Wars #7 (of 9)

   The big problem facing the heroes still standing on Battleworld is: how do you defeat a god named Doom?

   The solution to that problem is what Secret Wars is moving toward. The handful of survivors from the "previous" Earths are working together to find a way to defeat Dr. Doom, and they're finally moving out of the shadows.

   Their plan includes inciting war between the various Battleworld factions - some support Doom, some seek to overthrow him - and much of the issue is dedicated to that fight between powerhouses.

   There are other plots in motion, as well, as enemies are forced to work together in a common cause.

   Writer Jonathan Hickman has been weaving this story together for quite a while now, and it's hard to believe that it'll wrap up in just two more issues.

   As always, Esad Ribic's art is stunning, with lots of high-powered opponents on display.

   So far, this series continues to deliver the goods. Two more issues (and who knows how many months) will tell.
