About this ebook
"I am from Beyond! Slay your enemies and all you desire shall be yours! Nothing you dream of is impossible for me to accomplish!" With those words began an era of change rarely rivaled before or since as an awesome entity set heroes and villains against each other, only to learn that the difference between the two was not so clear-cut as it seemed! Loyalties, loves, and line-ups change in the mini-series where one world's battles shook a universe! Plus: new looks for Spider-Man, the Thing, and more! Starring the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, the X-Men, and villains of all kinds! Introducing Spider-Woman, later Arachne of Omega Flight! Collects Secret Wars #1-12, Thor #383, and She-Hulk (2004) #10.

It's become too easy to praise so many of the older story arcs and begin to overrate just how good they truly were/are... however, that is not the case here. Any and all praise this 12 issue story arc gets is well deserved! It absolutely deserves to be included on the list of "Best Ever" and "Most Influential". Just do yourself a favor and get this comic. If you've already read it, then read it again! Must have for collectors, fans, or even first time casual comic readers.

Jim Shooter, then-editor-in-chief, ushered in a permanent change NOT only to Marvel BUT to comics in general when the FIRST Secret Wars (later Secret Wars II in a nine-issue maxi-series with its crossovers AND the solo-issue Secret Wars 3 in Fantastic Four #319) appeared in the twelve-issued maxi-series! ! ! Spider-Man and his black costume (living symbolic creature), Galactus sacrificing his homeworld Taa II, Doctor Doom's big gut-wrenching decision AND MORE! ! ! BUY IT NOW! ! !

This series starts off a bit slow with issue #1 but from that point on the story is a roller coaster ride that you don't want to miss. This book was hard to put down at times, and it set the stage for events to follow for decades.
