The Secret Wars was a ground breaking mini-series from Marvel that brought all of Earth-616's greatest heroes together to battle with the worst villains under the watchful eye of the Beyonder.
The original Secret Wars (the REAL one) was the coolest thing. It genuinely changed the face of the Marvel Universe and shook all the heroes up, kept them fresh, did good things. Ever since, Marvel seems to have flirted with total suicide when it tries to redo the same stuff. The magic's gone.
1984...that's when I started reading comics full time. It was thanks to this and Spidey's black costume that got my dad to look up a comic store and take me there. Loved this series. I remember riding my bike a few miles to get to the comic store and trying to ride back home with a bag of comics in my hand.

Just finished reading Secret Wars for the first time. Last year I decided to read Spider-Man from the beginning and I'm on ASM #250 - Spec #80 now, and that means Secret Wars! I thoroughly enjoyed it actually, it surprised me.
I thought that the first few issues dragged a bit as the Heroes vs the Villains went on and on, but things really heated up in the sixth and seventh issue and then from there on out it was immense! Doom was fantastic, I've found I've got a new respect for the character. I think they could have made it a little less predictable though.
