Reading on-line them introducing incursions for Secret Wars is awesome.

This is precisely it.
It bucked the formula.
Took some creative risks and even killed off characters (mcu is frustratingly shy about doing this which lowers the stakes in every conflict imo).
I was taken off guard by some of the deaths depicted because it was so NOT like the mcu to do.
About ####ing time they dabbled outside of their proverbial box of low-risk, formulaic storytelling.
This entry will recieve a lower score than most overall because of the weirdos that just wanted more of the same, but its exactly the entry that the mcu needed right now in this post-endgame hangover phase.
It injected some life back into the franchise creatively, at least for this outing.
