[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 7939647, member: 6785785"] They've never quite redone it exactly, but the most recent version was from 2015 and was a 9 issue series (with an insane number of tie in issues in other titles and related series) and it's quite good. It revisits some of the elements of the original. The basic idea is that the Marvel Multiverse has been destroyed by a race called the Beyonders, but Doctor Doom has stolen some of their power and has created a patchwork Battleworld made up of different alternate Marvel Earths, including a part of the main Marvel U Earth, and also part of the Ultimate Marvel U Earth, among others. None of the inhabitants really understand exactly what has happened; they live on Doom's world assuming he is a god-like being. However, there is a small group of survivors from the Marvel Universe that avoided destruction and they crashland on this world, and they have to figure out what's happened, and how to fix it. It's really very good, and pays homage to the original without trying to simply recreate it. I also think it's one of the stories that would make a new Marvel RPG a potentially popular comic.
