Secret Wars: New Printing

This was the first Marvel comic I bought and introduced me to a whole range of characters I later got to know in their own comics. Notable as the first Marvel Universe wide event, now a regular staple of the comic universes. It is an exciting premise - a being of unfathomable power summons Earth's greatest heroes and villains to battle it out for the prize of their greatest wishes. Exciting and well executed.

The very same Marvel Secret Wars comics from way back in 1984. All twelve issues in one book. The first time "Black Spider-Man" ever featured in the comics too. Way before Marvel became so woke or owned by Disney. Not pushing any agenda - just great Marvel stories. The book is well binded and has a very glossy cover. Inside the pages are colourful and vibrant. A real classic for any enthusiast or collector.

Pretty decent all things considered, been a long time waiting to finish this iconic piece of Marvel history. Always wondered how the comic book version of this event played out in comparison to the 90's Spider-Man animated series.

Bought this as a revisit of how Marvel used to be. As enjoyable as the story is there are some awesomely simplistic and annoying over simplifications in the story. Dated and less sophisticated than today's audience expects - but a worthy effort in it's day.

This is a must buy for any marvel fan! I recently bought this because I read The Amazing Spiderman: Origin of the Hobgoblin and Secret Wars is a direct sequel (the concluding pages of that book lead directly into Secret Wars). So if you're following Spiderman chronologically I thought I'd help you out by telling you! ANYWAY, it's a fantastic book filled to the brim with the Arch nemeses and super villains of the heroes involved and takes you across the galaxy to an amazing adventure which you wont forget! BUY IT!

Before war was Infinity, it was secret, it was wars plural, although admittedly there was only one war. A gladiatorial games set in the far reaches of..well, excelsior. If you were looking for an entry point to the Marvel Universe it's here. Sure there are back stories but it allows you to jump right in. Bonus materials include original sketch art and tales from the murky world of how to tap the lucrative toy market. Lovingly reproduced, typos and all.

This is my favourite marvel comic event ever , I loved reading it on Kindle.

Proper retro Marvel. Glory in the classic costumes.

Normalde aldığım her üründen çok memnun kalıyorum fakat bu sefer öyle olmadı. Kitap öyle bir geldi ki görseniz ikinci el sanarsınız. Arka kapağında kat izi vardı. Kargolarken boyutu büyük bir paket seçtikleri için kitap muhtemelen yolculuk esnasında paketin içinde oradan oraya savrulmuş, dolayısıyla köşelerinde ezikler vardı. Normalde de piyasaya göre ucuza satılan bir ürünü kupon ile ekstra ucuza aldığım için iade etmeyeceğim fakat gerçekten hayal kırıklığına uğradım. Kitabın içeriği hakkında yoruma ise gerek yok, klasik bir Marvel hikayesi. İlgisi olan herkesin okuması gerekiyor.

I'm making my way through the history of the X-Men, and I purchased this book because I didn't want to skip this 12-issue part of their story that's squeezed in between Uncanny X-Men #180 and #181. I knew that this giant multi-team crossover was created only to promote a series of Mattel action figures, so my expectations were quite low. As it happens, the story Jim Shooter created is pretty intriguing, and the book itself is packed with extra features that definitely made it well worth the purchase for any comic fan. The book doesn't shy away at all from its origins, with an introduction by Tom DeFalco detailing the Mattel connection. There are even six pages of text, with photos, describing all of the action figures. Other extras include an article from Marvel Age #12 announcing the series and several pages of original pencil artwork from Mike Zeck, Bob Layton, and John Beatty, as well as cover art from previously published volumes. The nicest extras, however, surround the story itself. There is an 18-page prologue featuring pages from eight different comic books, showing how all of the heroes were drawn to the Beyonder's mysterious fortress in Central Park. And a page at the end of the book describes what became of each of the heroes after their return to earth. The story itself covers a typical comic book theme - good pitted against evil for survival and to save the universe. But there are plenty of twists and turns, including suspicions held by the other super heroes regarding the mutant X-Men, and the layered ambiguity of villains such as Magneto and Dr. Doom. The large cast of characters means any given hero may not get a ton of pages - some issues barely featured the X-Men - but every character contributes in different and significant ways. The fact that it's a self-contained story with no cliffhanger or on-going interaction with other comics makes it an especially good read for somebody who just wants to read a fun story without needing a ton of backstory. Marvel had always interwoven characters and storylines through some of its different comic series - the so-called Marvel Universe was well-established - and spinoff books and limited-run series were getting to be more and more commonplace in the early 1980s. Whilte the artwork and dialogue of Secret Wars may not be break any new ground, the idea of placing so many different heroes and villains into one smashingly cool story-line was new, and THAT'S what makes Secret Wars a groundbreaker.
