Drawn from Earth across the stars, the Marvel Universe's greatest villains and heroes are set against one another by the mysterious and unbelievably powerful Beyonder, with the winner promised the ultimate prize. But as battle lines are drawn, new alliances forged and old enemies clash, one among them is not willing to settle for anything less than godhood. Can even the combined might of the Avengers, Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men prevent Dr. Doom from becoming the most powerful being in the universe? Collecting MARVEL SUPER HEROES SECRET WARS #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
