Secret Wars #1 - 2

Like the unrelenting hordes of the apocalypse summer is at our door and that means it is time for the big comic book companies to publish their massive mega crossover events, whether we like it or not, with a main series, mini-series a plenty that supposedly tie in to the main series and a fair number of the regular monthly series' halt their own storylines (or rushed them in previous issues) in order to tie in to the event and hopefully get more readers interested in their series. It's quite a lot to take in really, but that's the current nature of the industry.

I haven't paid much attention to Marvel's last two event series but since their latest magnum opus is supposed to reboot/reshuffle/reimagine/redecorate the whole of the Marvel universe I felt that it was probably necessary for me to get into it. So here's my, delayed because I'm lazy, review of the first two issues of Marvel's Secret Wars.
