Summary: The Great Battle
Comment: This is one of those stories you can read for the pure enjoyment of reading. Secret Wars was the original 12 part mega epic comicbook tale. All of the major players from Marvel were involved from Spider-Man to Dr. Doom, from Wolverine to Galactus. All taken to a strange new world which the characters call Battleworld. The point of the story is for the Beyonder (an all powerful being) to find out which side is better good or evil. So he pits Earth's greatest heroes against the best villains. What ensues is an all-out Marvel Superhero millitary campaign. With fun developments along the way: Spider-Man's Black Costume, the introduction of a new Spider-Woman, The X-Man Colossus falling in love with one of the inhabitants of battle world. All had far reaching impact on future Marvel books.
I thrilled when I finally collected all of the original issues of this series. A very fun read for any one looking to enjoy a great super heroe adventure. I don't know why the other reviewers chose to knock this book I guess they don't like heroic epics.

Summary: That Silver Age Feel
Comment: This series when it first came out got dismissed because of the Crisis On Infinte Earths that cast it in the light of being a knock-off.
Rereading this series twenty years later shows it to be a fun romp with many elements of the silver age in place (with big kudos to Jim Shooter who pracitcally built the fondly remembered Legion of the 1960s).
If you want serious pass this up-you want fun this is the spot for you.

Summary: Not bad
Comment: Having just finished reading the story, I can tell you that this was not a bad story. However, I think a mistake was made in the original comics in making this 12 issues long, as there were many extraneous moments that really did not need to take place. (The Lizard/Enchantress battle, for example.)
If you pick it up, you won't be disappointed, but there are better graphic novels.
