It’s Secret Wars II, the sequel to Secret Wars… and it’s very different! The Beyonder is on Earth and he’s just a confused, lonely alien who wants love. It’s only 9 issues, so we read the first 5 issues this time and try to understand why it exists.
Then we move onto Thunderbolts #14 where they make it back to Earth too!

Next time: Secret Wars II, Pt. 2 (Issues 6-9)
Whelp, we tried to will a Dazzler movie cameo into existence, but Deadpool & Wolverine was unfortunately Taylor Swift-less.
Nevertheless, we still press on to read Dazzler: The Movie, the 12th in Marvel’s Graphic Novel line from the 80s, in which Dazzler meets a lot of terrible men who promise her a fast track to stardom.
Then we continue our long read of Thunderbolts with issue #5, which has a dude in the shadows! Classic!

Next Time: Iron Man and Dr. Doom meet in DOOMQUEST (Invincible Iron Man #149-150)
We’ve reached the final issue of Crisis on Infinite Earths!
And as our first long-read book ends, we jump right into our next one and begin Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars (yes, that’s the full title).
We look back at the entirety of DC’s first event and what it meant for comics as a whole before reading Secret Wars #1 to see what direction Marvel took for their first event.
And we’ll keep reading an issue of Secret Wars every episode to see how the story progresses!
Next Time: Afterlife with Archie
