The Hulk tie-ins. Awful. I think I'm done with that title. I was really only reading it for the She-Hulk stories. Otherwise it's been poo since Waid's petered out.

Oh! nobs. I was looking forward to trying those out. I thought Phil said A-Force was good.

I've read the end of Secret Wars now then. Yep. Disappointing. Ended up feeling like an overblown FF story and the end made no sense to me. Was Franklin creating a new universe or something? Glad Avengers Universe will be back to being about actual Avengers next month.

I just don't get why people dislike AvX so much. Axis was utter bilge from beginning to end though. -Ralph I don't think I've read anything recently that I didn't like, apart from Secret Wars which seemed a bit overblown and lacking in any real content. But I guess I'm relatively new to actually reading Marvel comics instead of just thinking that I do. |

Secret Wars 2015 has a brilliant idea in it, but the execution is off.

It's a shame cos the 2+ year run up is brilliant!

It's a shame cos the 2+ year run up is brilliant! I dunno. I have read some of it from the library and I don't think it's very good. Making Reed responsible for more death than Doctor Doom ever caused doesn't help either. He is now the greatest villain there's ever been! -Ralph |

I don't think that's the case at all. One of the themes of New Avengers is that the Illuminati are appalled by some of the choices they're making and ultimately can't go through with killing a living planet......which is where Namor steps in and leads to the rise of The Cabal.

Read Thors courtesy of a Comixology sale. Enjoyed it a lot and it shockingly vaguely tied in with the main Limited Series!

Hopefully he is correct and you can just read Secret Wars and not need to read anything else, unlike Infinity. Andy Yeah hopefully. I want to read this, but having almost half the last load of X-Men I got from comixology being part of crossovers has totally put me off. I guess I'll wait for suitably complete trades down the line. Read the whole 70+ Avengers and Secret Wars over the last week. I can't say how well SW played out on its own as the individual issues have blended together so Im not sure where SW began (which thinking about it is probably a problem for SW but not the complete story), but as a complete 80 something issue story I thought it was great. SW probably could have done with more stuff happening which I thought might have been going in in the tie ins but having read this thread it doesnt sound like it does which is a shame. I have a fair number of the post Secret Wars volume ones to read, but is there any stand alone/ post secret wars jumping on point book that should be read before anything else? |

Grabbed the full run from Ebay (the action-figure variants) and read it through today. It's a decent story in it's own right once you get past the first issue being a god-awful first issue. Could have done with having a few more of the events happening in this book, as a couple come out of nowhere being that they were taking place in some of the spin-off books. Should never have been called Secret Wars though the nods to the original are slight at best Very nice art though. Either it shouldn't have been called secret wars or preferably it could have done with an extra 3 issues or so that were more Secret Warsy, making use of the battle world and helping to set up the final battle. |

The original Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars limited series is being reprinted issue by issue, one a month from January.
I was already helpless to resist.
Now I find out there are variants for each issue.
This will cost me a lot of money.
BASTARDS.

I reread Secret Wars issue by issue with the Shelfdust podcast last year. Before that I’m not sure this would have pulled me in, but now I’ve developed a much stronger fondness for it...

I'm on board for this, not the variants though.

The regular and shiny foil cover editions of the first SW facsimile issue are here. I was going to be in all-in on the other variants until I saw the price of some of them: £25.
Will stick to regular and shiny for the series.

Only if they pop up cheap the other side of summer. I'm not paying £25+ for issues. I suspect the new art cover variants will feature in a new edition of the trade in 2025.
