Secret Wars is horrible. The writing is juvenile and at times offensive. Iron Man calling Captain Marvel a “squeeze”…? Shooter was very full of himself when he penned these.
I was 12 when this came out, and i managed to get amazing 252 but i missed secret wars until issue 3. i loved secret wars! It had two of my favorite spidey moments, beating the x men was one thing, but his beat down of titania was better. when i picked up issue 1 and 2 years later, JR is right, issue 1 does kind of suck, but i loved it as a kid. Maybe he should have started with issue 3.
Uh oh…I think JR forgot to take his meds.
