"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! Collects Secret Wars (1984) #1-12.

Mehso-so

This is a good look at vintage marvel comics. However the writing of the female characters and the way that the male characters behave around them is enough to only rate it a so so.

CampbellTaraL It's so hard to appreciate earlier works because of the way they treat women and marginalized groups. Yeah, it may have been a big influence at the time, but I can't celebrate it's efforts when there's a glaring problem that is not acceptable today. 6y
Maewyn What was interesting to me was that my male friend seemed shocked by my reaction. Clearly he didn't remember ever thinking anything was wrong with the depiction which means to him it was truly okay whenever he read it last. 6y

Dr. Doom apparently knows of what he speaks! I was just watching a video yesterday that talked about how there is no difference between excitement and fear as far as the body is concerned. The mind on the other hand...

Maewyn And, yes, Doom needed pretty heart sunglasses. 6y
