By Dr Strange
Format:Paperback
Secret Wars being the first comic compilation I have bought to date, I feel inclined to give it a good rating but it perhaps deserves one oblivious to this. The story was creative with many unexpected twists that ensured I was kept guessing. Who is on who's side? How will they survive? Etc. Having no background knowledge to this storyline was also of little importance; the characters were accessible and their pasts seemed not to matter whilst their powers became apparent.
The art work was dated (obviously) but not to the extent of being a hindrance to the comic. It actually added a more vintage feel that made me warm more towards both the characters and the storyline itself.
In true Marvel form it leaves an open ending which frustrated me on the smallest level as two, maybe three characters are unaccounted for. However, it took nothing away from my pleasure in reading it.
All in all it was a delight to read and a must-buy for those just starting their comic collections and the veterans alike.

By "hotrod2002"
Format:Paperback
I still have detailed fond memories of recieving my weekly copy of Secret Wars delivered by the paper boy back in the 80's.So when it was released as a complete graphic novel with full colour pages i was foaming at the mouth.To me,this is simply one of the finest marvel storylines to be hatched up,not to mention being the greatest crossover i can remember.Think of practically everyone of your favourite heroes & villains(bar a selected few,well..nothings perfect) and chances are,they're in here! I wont go into a description of the actual story because i would probably do it a huge injustice so I'll just urge you to purchase this book because i can guarantee that even if you only have a fondness for a few of the major players in marvel(Spidey,Xmen,hulk etc..) you will not be able to put this down! Best graphic novel ever!!!!!
