There are two things of note in Secret Wars #3. Firstly, a lot of the characters from the old worlds are turning up, and secondly, the human touch (Johnny Storm) has been punished for transgressing against God Doom and placed in the sky as the physical Sun of this new world.
This idea comes from a much-viewed documentary (Zeitgeist) about Jesus being the latest in a long line of dying sun gods. The idea pushed in the documentary is that Jesus represents the sun, like the other sun/son gods that came before him. That documentary is on Netflix, so don’t put too much trust in all of the ideas that it contains, but the idea of Sun worship holds up, as it should, as what would this Earth be without our Sun?
That sun worship idea can be developed as Secret Wars progresses, seeing in a final battle of light versus darkness, or truth versus ignorance, a battle that is very much happening in our own reality as I type these words.
I enjoyed Secret Wars #3 as a bit of comic book fun. It is settling down a bit now, the seeds of destruction of this God Doom world have been sowed, and all is progressing, as it should be. It’s enjoyable, the art is good, and it has Johnny Storm as a Sun God. Not bad, and well worth a read.
Rating: 7/10 (Great use of the Johnny Storm character)
Here's a link to the Zeitgeist movie. Bear in mind that truly awakened Christians don't actually believe that Jesus was born on 25th December or that Easter has anything to do with him either. These are ideas pushed by establishment Christianity, not actual Christianity which is about rebellion, not the worship of government.
