RE: Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars - an "Exploring the Unlimited" Comic Book Review
I need to read Untold Story, I'm sure I'd really enjoy it. Secret Wars certainly has the feel that it could have existed only as a pack in comic with the action figures.
I certainly suffer from "event fatigue" in today's comics world. However since the target market is no longer children and most modern events (while still aimed at driving sales) aren't beholden to toy tie ins and focus groups, I find many of them to be more readable and better crafted then Secret Wars.
Untold Story is great, but it's not updated, kinda ends with arrival of brian michael bendis. and stops getting into the smaller details it doesn't at the beginning of the book, so it is very uneven.
I don't care if they are more readable and better crafted, I want less of them. Little crossovers are fun, but it's totally getting out of control. Every time Marvel announces an event, a unicorn dies.
I'm totally with you on less! It gets ludicrous how so little aftermath and actual world development goes on because they move right into the next event!
I'd love to see a "non-event." Call it Day Off! Marvel should coordinate a couple months in the summer where nothing happens. All the stories are things like the X-Men playing softball, Avengers at the beach, FF at the shopping mall, etc. Just fun character writing.
Or just you know, them fighting against villains. They can even invent some good new villains for this special occasion. They need a none-event year. That's how bad it is. even publicity wise. People hear event and instead of getting exited, they are exasperated.
