    The Beyonder angle wasn't so bad the first time around. I read the first Secret Wars for the first time recently and it wasn't bad. Obviously the whole thing was geared for kids as the actual story was an excuse for a lot of fights and a convenient way to make new status quos for various Marvel characters. It's my understanding that it was the 2nd Secret Wars which was utterly wretched.

      Yeah the Beyonder was vanilla until SW2. Then he just became stupid.

        I'll have to go back and reread them, been a while. I scored the omnibus of 1 and 2 for $15 on Amazon last year

          Trying to read the first secret wars... it's difficult. Everything! Ends! With an exclamation! Point! Every other panel is a character narrating the powers being used optic blast... concussion weapons... riding the magnetic field to fly... etc... just so unnecessarily verbose.

            The best thing to come out of the Secret Wars was Spideys symbiote suit. So many good Spider-Man stories came out of that

              Yes! It was full of exclamations when none was needed and so full of BOMBAST!!! I really didn't like that at all but I understood it, I mean this was geared for kids and not necessarily ones whow were comic book readers too!

              It took me a while to get through it to be honest!!!

                I read the first 100 pages of the omnibus and had to stop for now. Exhausting. Literally every sentence that is not a question is an exclamation.

                    So they're doing it mid-Secret War? lol. Tweets suggesting even bigger news tomorrow with many hoping for an Avengers trailer.

                      Why do I get the feeling Marvel is acting kind of desperate with all these big events. Is DC gaining a foothold/clearly ahead of Marvel these days?

                          Civil War starting in Cap 3 now that Downey Jr. appears set to be in that movie. Brining it back in the comics makes sense.

                            Picked up the finale of Death of Wolverine. Not a bad ending. Sad. Damn near brought a tear to my eye. Logan Legacy should be a good read too.

                              Spidey running the Jean Grey school is hilarious and actually perfect of you think about it.

                              But damn another Civil War? Really?

                                Marvel is going to lose me with these events. I am already jaded by Original Sin. Haven't read Axis yet...
