Secret Wars was the first of a new breed of large crossover events which would become a staple of both Marvel and DC's publishing schedule from that year on. However, Secret Wars was unlike most of its successors in one important regard. From the month of the Secret Wars' debut all of Marvel's other titles were set after the events portrayed in the miniseries, rather than occurring simultanously as is the custom. For example, in The Amazing Spider-Man #251 (April, 1984), Spider-Man was shown being abducted by the Beyonder, and in the opening of #252 (May, 1984) he was shown returning from Battleworld in his new costume, the events of the Secret Wars miniseries having occurred in a matter of "days" between the two issues.

Secret Wars the first was not drek. Secret Wars II on the other hand.

I didn't remember it being so bad,but I brought issues 1-6 with me to read,and couldn't believe how bad it was. I had fond memories of it,until now.
