About this Item

In May, 1984, Marvel decided to shake up the Marvel Universe a bit. To do this, they created the granddaddy of all epic events. Before Identity Crisis, Infinite Crisis, House of M, Civil War, and Infinity Gauntlet there was the Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars. The Secret Wars, a twelve-issue limited maxi-series that involved almost every major Marvel character. The crossover comic-series that set the bar for all other crossovers to come, had Earth's greatest heroes and villains being kidnapped and transported to the far side of the universe by almost omnipotent being known as the Beyonder. The Beyonder wants to know what force will be victorious, that of good.or evil so Earth?s heroes are kidnapped and pitted against their most deadly enemies. The members of winning side were promised all their wishes made true but the losers would be granted no mercy. The Secret Wars changed the lives of all involved, particularly The Amazing Spider-Man. As part of his involvement, he was given a black alien costume which gave him special powers. Eventually, however, it was revealed that this ?costume? was actually a living being - a symbiote. When Spider-Man rejected bonding with it, it found another host and became known as the world famous super-villain Venom (my shout-out to Venom). The series was continued one year later with a sequel named Secret Wars II. Trade Paperback reprints/collects: Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars (1984 - 1985) Issues #1-12.
