Secret wars. Marvel super heroes

What can I say about old comics? They tend not to be that good and the dialogue is wooden at best. Secret Wars is no exception. I read an article describing it as the sort of story a kid would come up with while playing with his toys and I have to agree. Just in case anyone isn't sure what to think a Leggi tutto

Yes it's badly written, if you're being objective and all, but so very much fun. Even though the 80s were when literary superhero comics started to take off, the original Secret Wars is just plain dumb fun.

But I won't deny its one of the best reads I have had this year! the premise is simple: Heroes and battles from across earth are transported to Battleworld and there they have to fight each other on the Beyonder's request/order and they do and we see new v Leggi tutto
