I've honestly always looked at Secret Wars being the comic story that took something I did, in reading comics, that was a 'secret' to something that was now something everyone did. Comic stores in my hometown grew from the one I used to go up to about six or seven in one city alone. I think it was what started me moving on from comics, which was probably not its intended purpose.

Secret Wars 2015 was an absolute mess. And a missed opportunity for a real reboot by Marvel. The concept was good but the execution was sloppy. Late releases…even adding an issue in the middle of it. It just wasn’t well thought out. The build up, Time Runs Out was fantastic but Marvel dropped the ball. At least the original had a cohesive story that had long lasting changes to the status quo. And if DC took their sweet time with Crisis, that’s their fault.

The story that made me realize that Dr Doom is the greatest Marvel villain to ever be created. Really wish he would have gotten his time in the spotlight before the MCU did the Infinity arc, because Doom will look weak comparatively in any ensuing movie (as will anyone compared to literal Infinite power), and IMAGINE if they had to deal with Doom showing up to assist with destroying Thanos after seeing him as a villain for a few movies. Because he absolutely would have. He has a country and people to care for. He coulda fought with Tony about tech, and Strange about magic, and talked down to Thanos about wielding power properly. There were so many opportunities. He definitely would have cozied up to Wanda because he would have immediately recognized her as the most powerful being in the MCU. Fucking hell, I'm making myself sad lol. Doom is the best, but unfortunately, they refuse to do anything with him without bringing the boring ass FF along with him, and just portraying him as a power hungry idiot to be beat up by stretchy fists and family love. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I was new into comic books when Secret Wars dropped. The only controversy I remember was Spider-man getting a black suit to replace his iconic one. That said, while I didn't own the comics for years, my friend had them and I read them several times at his house. This was how I was introduced to The Avengers and Fantastic Four as my only interest at the time was X-Men and Spider-man. As such, it worked great to advertise the other comics (I cared nothing for toys) and I eventually started collecting The Avengers, Fantastic Four, and then by '86, West Coast Avengers.

"Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions" three issue mini-series had Secret Wars beat by a couple of years. Think it was originally published back in '82. And it literally had EVERY 616 character-- like End Game times 10.

While I was buying Transformers issue #1, I saw Secret Wars #8 (the black-suit Spider-Man cover), gave it a quick read, and left the store with it as well. This began me reading comics until 1992, right after The Infinity Gauntlet wrapped everything up nicely, and I had better things to spend money on (for many, many reasons my 18yr old self had). I feel lucky to have read Marvel comics during this 8 year span, which allowed me to fully appreciate everything the MCU has done.

Crazy how Xavier meddling with Spiderman's mind was a cool plot point back then

I remember buying the first copy and instantly being hooked. I bought and still have the original run of this series. Didn't even bother with the toys, it was the comics for me. I was into comics a little before this series came out, but after it did, I became a comic junkie for the next 5 years. As I remember it, Marvel had a great run during that period of the 80's.

0:57 It was the first major event *series*. The first major event book was Fantastic Four Annual #3 cover dated 1965.

Keep it up Owen! Another banger! As much as I understand the significance of this comic and it's impact on the industry; I find the book intolerable and difficult to read. I'm sure if I were to read it at the time id find a lot more compelling.

Thanks! That's definitely fair, I think the 2015 version executes the idea of the original comic brilliantly. The 1984 Secret Wars is still groundbreaking and significant though.

I was a teenager when this series came out and yes it was incredibly compelling!! As a 51 year old now, I went back and re read it....and I agree, it's VERY difficult to read.

I loved the secret wars comic book series. I have both secret wars and secret wars 2 comic book series. The first one is a classic. Seeing Spiderman with a new look and She Hulk joining the Fantastic Four was very interesting. We also had a new Spider woman and we were introduced to Titania who became a huge foe for She Hulk.

Great job on this retrospective Owen,really enjoyed it,didn't know all the history and reason why this series was produced.Jim Shooter seemed like a very good business man,knew the comic business,too bad he was fired tho.Some of those covers were designed very well,some of the inside art looked rushed or half=heartedly done,uh maybe that's just me???750,000 issues sold.WOW.Are any modern comics reaching these sells figures??? I WONDER.Have you done a retrospective on CRISIS??? If not,will you OLE SACRED ONE????

Crisis is on the cards. Might not be for a while, but it's on my list!
