If you’ve ever dreamed of hopping right into the pages of Marvel’s most explosive comic book events, now’s your chance to do just that with the Secret Wars Omnibus. This isn’t just any reprint—it’s a colossal hardcover collection that gathers all nine issues of the 2015 mini-series Secret Wars, along with a handful of tie-in issues like the Free Comic Book Day Secret Wars 0 and a curated selection from Avengers (2012) and New Avengers (2013). And the best part? It’s currently on sale for just $69.20 (down from $100) on Amazon!
Background: Marvel’s Epic Crossover Legacy Marvel has a long-standing tradition of delivering blockbuster events that shake up its expansive universe, but few can hold a candle to Secret Wars. Originally making waves in 1984 as Marvel’s very first major crossover event, the original Secret Wars was a 12-issue extravaganza featuring your favorite heroes and villains facing off against the omnipotent Beyonder. Fast forward to 2015, and this new, revamped mini-series not only pays homage to its predecessor but also sets the stage for the modern Marvel Universe—and rumor has it, elements of Secret Wars might even sneak into the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film. Talk about a cinematic twist!
What’s in the Omnibus? The Secret Wars Omnibus is a treasure trove for Marvel die-hards, collecting: • Avengers (2012) Issues 35-44 • New Avengers (2013) Issues 24-33 • Secret Wars Issue 0 (a special Free Comic Book Day release) • The full 2015 Secret Wars mini-series (Issues 1-9)
For those who haven’t had a chance to dive into the chaos, Secret Wars is set in the aftermath of the Marvel multiverse’s collapse. Picture this: after a series of cataclysmic incursion events, all of reality seems to have been wiped away with one solitary universe surviving. Enter Doctor Doom, who, thanks to his newfound godlike powers, creates a bizarre, patchwork world called Battleworld. Imagine a realm where a zombie apocalypse, a domain ruled by an all-out war against a genocidal AI manual called Ultron, and even a demon-infested city coexist, all waiting for the next twist in the tale.
Why You Should Grab It Now Besides the obvious fact that it’s an incredible piece of Marvel history, this omnibus is especially enticing if you’re curious about the upcoming film, Avengers: Doomsday. With the movie hinted to embrace elements from Secret Wars, catching up on the original storyline has never been more essential. Whether you’re a nostalgic fan or a newcomer looking to catch up with Marvel’s rich tapestry of stories, this deal is too good to pass up.
Bonus for the Comics Purists Not to be left out, if you’re itching to experience Marvel’s first-ever Secret Wars event from 1984, there’s a paperback version available for just $17 (previously $35). This classic set the blueprint for future crossover events, featuring iconic teams like the Avengers, Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men going head-to-head with seemingly unbeatable foes.
