2.94 (459) Marvel Super Heroes Secret War #2 ... Marvel naturally ... #avengers

In view of the current ongoings in the mighty Marvel universe, where the real Marvel universe seems for the moment to have disappeared and all alternate dimensions (read that as popular storylines) now suddenly come crashing back onto the 616-verse, I thought it timely to check this - the first BIG crossover in comics ever and found out ... I never really reviewed the whole series

So here's #2

Firstly, let's check out that awesome cover where you get to see Magneto in all his furious angry self while surrounded by all the other folks that are going to make an appearance here. For those who really do not know what this series is about, shame on you! Hahaha! Just kidding!

Seriously, in short, one fine day, a mysterious object appeared in Marvel's 616 and curious superheroes who entered to check it out got teleported to a world that is constructed before their eyes from chunks of other planets. Then a mysterious voice from beyond said that if they were to conquer their enemies, they would get whatever they can dream of like a gigantic genie granting them wishes

Anyway, from those teleported, there are both good and bad guys and naturally each team separates and tries to find amongst them leaders

If you want something intellectually provoking, this is not the series for you. If you like your heroes and villains teaming up and fighting and switching sides all in the name of good fun, then this is right up your alley and we open the issue with the villains immediately attacking the heroes inspite of not being organized. So as expected they got their asses whupped

However, the more devious of the bad guys i.e. Doom did not join in the melee but instead followed up on something that happened in issue 1 i.e. the defeat of Galactus and thus trying to learn what he could about how Galactus was so easily beaten ...

And while all this is happening, in the heroes' side of the show, they scouted around and found a base for themselves. However, Magneto is in the picture as per the cover. So is it any wonder that another fight is brewing before the issue even closes? Hehehe! Good and loads of action all through!

Ratings: 8/10
