Feb 21, 2024The overall effect is a handsome looking comic book that effectively plays upon any nostalgia readers may feel for Marvel's original Secret Wars, of which I certainly still harbor some. Read Full Review

It's fine for what it is and solidly okay in every department, even if it is ultimately pointless. I'm not clear on why we needed this mini. Is there a large contingent of readers out there clamoring for more old-timey Secret Wars content that I don't know about? This would've worked better as a one-shot.

The final issue is livened up by a big, genuinely intriguing twist. But it's the kind of idea that a modern writer would build the entire miniseries around, building it up and using it to enhance the entire story instead of just launching it out of the blue to make the climax interesting.
There are also some transient character insights thrown into the mix that make me respect the author and his command of Marvel continuity. But he still fails to make me respect the characters, which is a problem.
Beyond that, we get the usual retro art, polished but stiff, and that leaves my rating hovering on the low side of "average."
