9. KING JAMES' ENGLANDAnother regal name. This is not, as I reflexively imagined, a world in which reality warper Jamie Braddock is king. The clue here is that King James I ascended the English throne in 1603, which makes this the world of Marvel after 1602. That is, the world after Marvel 1602. Get it? Get it?
But Marvel isn't calling the series set in this domain '1603'; instead it's called 1602: Witch Hunter Angela, in which Asgard's assassin is re-imagined as, presumably, an agent of King James' notorious crackdown on witches, courtesy of writers Marguerite Bennett and Kieron Gillen, artist Stephanie Hans, and various guest artists. Intriguingly, the story will feature a 1602 version of the Guardians of The Galaxy.
10. WEIRDWORLD
Created by Doug Moench and Mike Ploog for Marvel Super Action in the late 1970s, Weirdworld is a magical fantasy land full of dwarfs and elves and... that sort of thing.
We guessed this generous expanse of Battleworld was set aside for any and all strange fantasy scraps that Marvel happens to have kicking around, and that seems to be the case. Jason Aaron and Mike Del Mundo will explore Weirdworld in a sword-and-sorcery adventure series starring Arkon, the extra-dimensional warlord created by Roy Thomas and John Buscema.
11. K'UN-LUN
Marvel's pulpy pseudo-Shambhalla of Eastern mysticism. This dominion will be the setting for a Master Of Kung-Fu series starring an alternate reality Shang-Chi, from the creative team of Haden Blackman and Talibor Talajic.
12. UTOPOLIS
We guessed that this refers to Mark Gruenwald's Squadron Supreme world, in which the Cosmpolis-based heroes tried to create a perfect society through "the Utopia Program."
Close; it's actually the home domain of the Squadron Supreme's evil predecessors, the Squadron Sinister, created by Roy Thomas and Sal Buscema. Mark Guggenheim and Carlos Pacheco will tell the story of these villainous analogs of DC's Justice League.
