Fred Slota Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Ummmmmm... my head hurts. There are 10 covers with a background map image, each map segment shows one of the 10 realms War of the Realms 1/A, 2/B, 3/C, 4/C, 5/B, 6/B War of the Realms: Journey into Mystery 1/A War of the Realms: New Agents of Atlas 1/B War of the Realms: Punisher 1/C War of the Realms: Uncanny X-Men 1/A The map appears to be similar to the image I found at https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Glossary:Ten_Realms The covers appear to fit together as this 10-ptych, left-to-right, top-to-bottom?

Adam Sternberg Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Do they really form a cohesive picture together, or are they just thematically the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Slota Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share Posted March 5, 2023 My assessment is, yes. Past connecting images haven't always exactly matched up at the edges, there are sometimes small gaps between the images. The background is definitely a single image; I provided a link to a site with a version of that image. This appears to be the first connected image I know of that doesn't make a solid rectangle.

Steven L. Dasinger Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 According to a video I found, one cover is out of place. The War of the Realm #6/B (with Captain Marvel) down to the last lower right 'box'. This creates the illusion of a tree. The bottom 3 being the roots, the single one above the trunk and the 6 at the top being the branches/leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Slota Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share Posted March 5, 2023 Thank you. Looking closer, 6/B does connect to 5/B, not WotR:New Agents of Atlas 1/B. I had put too much trust in the fandom wiki image of the map, which located Muspelheim above the roots, and thus I thought the tree-part on the top of the 6/B cover was a continuation of the branch on Atlas 1/B. A closer look at the two covers shows that the map has been drawn differently, Muspelheim in this presentation is being drawn under the roots, and the tree-part on the top of the 6/B cover is a continuation of the roots on 5/B. Regardless of this cover's positioning, we're all in agreement that this is still a 10-ptych, despite it not forming a complete rectangular collage, yes?
