IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD - FOR MWOM...

Copyright MARVEL COMICS.  Published by PANINI

Just got back from the shops with my latest copy of The MIGHTY WORLD Of MARVEL, and sad to say, if the assistant in WHS is correct, it's the last issue.  On September 30th 2022, it would've been 50 years since its weekly incarnation first appeared on newsagents' counters (though it's had a few spells of rest in between then and now over the years), so I hope that PANINI will do a Special Issue to mark the occasion when it comes.

To be honest, I'm in two minds about the mag's demise.  On the one hand, it was great to be able to still buy a comic I used to get as a 13 year-old, but on the other, it was MWOM in name only, as in recent years it hasn't contained any of the heroes it originally published back in the '70s.  Although sad, it's also kind of nice to now have a complete set of the revived incarnation of the title, and who knows - maybe it'll make a return one day, as it has several times before.

So it's the end of the world for ol' Mighty - but the rest of the world goes on.
