A Not-So-Secret War:
- The Secret Wars event in Marvel Comics refers to two significant crossover miniseries, each shaping the Marvel Universe in notable ways.
- The original Secret Wars, published from 1984-1985, was a groundbreaking 12-issue limited series written by Jim Shooter, with art by Mike Zeck and Bob Layton.
- This series was one of the first major crossover events in comic book history, with a storyline that involved a cosmic entity known as the Beyonder, who was fascinated by the heroes and villains of Earth and transported several of them to a patchwork planet called Battleworld.
- There, they were forced to fight for the Beyonder’s amusement, with the promise of their deepest desires being granted to the victors.
- The series was notable not only for its epic scope, uniting characters across the Marvel Universe, but also for introducing significant changes, such as Spider-Man's new black costume, which later became the infamous symbiote, Venom.
- In 2015’s Secret Wars, written by Jonathan Hickman with art by Esad Ribić, there was more complex narrative building from Hickman's previous work on Avengers and New Avengers. This event also revolved around a Battleworld, but it was a result of multiversal incursions that were destroying realities. Doctor Doom, having acquired god-like power, saved remnants of destroyed universes by combining them into a new Battleworld, which he ruled. The series explored themes of power, morality, and identity, and concluded with significant changes to the Marvel Universe, leading to a new status quo for many characters.
