Publisher Description. Next month, Marvel Comics kicks off the 40th anniversary celebration of its original crossover event, Jim Shooter, Mike Zeck, and Bob Layton's Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars, with an all-new series that takes place during the original saga: Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars: Battleworld.
The series returns to when Marvel’s greatest heroes and deadliest villains were pit against each other on Battleworld by the unbelievably powerful Beyonder. Tom DeFalco, former Marvel Comics editor-in-chief and the editor of the original Secret Wars, teams up with artist Pat Olliffe to expose this new Battleworld adventure starring Spider-Man and the Human Torch!
Check out all the covers plus all-new interior artwork. Fitting seamlessly between the pages of the original series, Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars: Battleworld will take place after Spidey receives his iconic black alien costume that would one day become Venom. This new preview recaptures familiar Secret Wars moments and shows the beginning of Spidey and Human Torch’s secret mission.
Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars: Battleworld also holds answers to a 40-year old mystery with shocking appearances by characters that you didn’t even know fought in Secret Wars. As seen on the cover of Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars: Battleworld #2, villains like Baron Zemo, Hobgoblin, Electro, Constrictor, and more found their way onto Battleworld. What do these characters have in common? Learn what their roles were and stay tuned to future issues to see what other heroes and villains show up!
