alliancesjr: (Han Pleased)
I picked up the trade compilation of Secret Wars, the first Marvel mega-crossover event, and one whose ramifications last for years to come. Spiderman got the black suit there on Battleworld, Volcana and Titania were created by Dr. Doom, Spider Woman joined Spiderman and later changed her name to Arachne, Jennifer Walters joined the Fantastic Four as She-Hulk while Ben Grimm took a well-deserved vacation.

The writing back then wasn't as...natural as it is in comics these days (it was a lot more cheesy and forced, but that was what was popular at the time), but classic Marvel humor will always be the same.

Wolverine: Don't take this wrong, but you're a better man that I gave you credit for! I'm an attacker an' you're a defender, but we're both soldiers! I'm beginnin' to think you got room in your high-falutin' ideals for all people...don'tcha? Even if they're mutants?

Captain America: Hey, some of my best friends are people!
(Secret Wars, Issue 10)



Classic stuff. I'm glad I decided to treat myself.
