Starring the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, the X-Men, and villains of all kinds! Introducing Spider-Woman, later Arachne of Omega Flight! Collects Secret Wars #1-12, Thor #383, and She-Hulk (2004) #10.

Beautiful edition makes this story come alive.,
By Scott Edward Calibraxis (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Secret Wars Omnibus (Hardcover)
Quite frankly, this series was always something of a slog to get through. I went crazy and splurged for the Omnibus despite that, and I'm really pleased. With the new color process and oversized reproductions, artwork that was once over-dense now comes alive!
There's just so much going on in this story--so many characters, so much plot, it always felt cramped. The average image of the Hulk, for example, was 2cm high. That didn't exactly let you feel the power of these gigantic super-battles. Combine that with the washed out and ridiculous dot-matrix coloring and that put the kibosh on most of the enjoyment to be had. With this edition, all that has changed. The oversize format lets the illustrations breathe. The intense, full color scheme brings everything to life. The story was always overblown and ridiculous, but with these beautiful illustrations given their due, it becomes an innocent pleasure to see: the Enchantress from Thor fight the Lizard from Amazing Spider-Man! Among other wacky delights...

Classic 80's marvel smart story by Shooter,
This review is from: Secret Wars Omnibus (Hardcover)
This actually rises above just a toy cross in and Jim Shooter wrote a fairly decent story here. Looks great in omnibus format....really loving these omnibus collections. Want to see more, like Dr Strange Ditko, etc. Please pay special attention to the spines of these omnibus collections as some of them seem hastily and cheaply glued resulting in pages possibly falling out over time. Please construct these properly and lastingly, Marvel.

Still a fun read.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Secret Wars Omnibus (Hardcover)
Secret Wars 10 was one of the first comics I had ever bought, it was the cover that got me and seeing it again in this omnibus brought me back to being 13 again. I had no idea what had come before but after reading the last three issues I went to my local comic book store and got the first 9, I loved them then and I still love this story.
There is just something about seeing large groups of superheros and villains fighting each other that is appealing. What I really enjoyed was how the groups didn't really divide easily, you had the X-men on their own, Magneto on his own, Doctor Doom on his own and the rest of the bad guys trying to win the prize. It was that aspect that really worked for me, both then and now. The Arwen
