Secret Wars

Good

Normalde aldığım her üründen çok memnun kalıyorum fakat bu sefer öyle olmadı. Kitap öyle bir geldi ki görseniz ikinci el sanarsınız. Arka kapağında kat izi vardı. Kargolarken boyutu büyük bir paket seçtikleri için kitap muhtemelen yolculuk esnasında paketin içinde oradan oraya savrulmuş, dolayısıyla köşelerinde ezikler vardı. Normalde de piyasaya göre ucuza satılan bir ürünü kupon ile ekstra ucuza aldığım için iade etmeyeceğim fakat gerçekten hayal kırıklığına uğradım. Kitabın içeriği hakkında yoruma ise gerek yok, klasik bir Marvel hikayesi. İlgisi olan herkesin okuması gerekiyor.

I'm making my way through the history of the X-Men, and I purchased this book because I didn't want to skip this 12-issue part of their story that's squeezed in between Uncanny X-Men #180 and #181. I knew that this giant multi-team crossover was created only to promote a series of Mattel action figures, so my expectations were quite low. As it happens, the story Jim Shooter created is pretty intriguing, and the book itself is packed with extra features that definitely made it well worth the purchase for any comic fan. The book doesn't shy away at all from its origins, with an introduction by Tom DeFalco detailing the Mattel connection. There are even six pages of text, with photos, describing all of the action figures. Other extras include an article from Marvel Age #12 announcing the series and several pages of original pencil artwork from Mike Zeck, Bob Layton, and John Beatty, as well as cover art from previously published volumes. The nicest extras, however, surround the story itself. There is an 18-page prologue featuring pages from eight different comic books, showing how all of the heroes were drawn to the Beyonder's mysterious fortress in Central Park. And a page at the end of the book describes what became of each of the heroes after their return to earth. The story itself covers a typical comic book theme - good pitted against evil for survival and to save the universe. But there are plenty of twists and turns, including suspicions held by the other super heroes regarding the mutant X-Men, and the layered ambiguity of villains such as Magneto and Dr. Doom. The large cast of characters means any given hero may not get a ton of pages - some issues barely featured the X-Men - but every character contributes in different and significant ways. The fact that it's a self-contained story with no cliffhanger or on-going interaction with other comics makes it an especially good read for somebody who just wants to read a fun story without needing a ton of backstory. Marvel had always interwoven characters and storylines through some of its different comic series - the so-called Marvel Universe was well-established - and spinoff books and limited-run series were getting to be more and more commonplace in the early 1980s. Whilte the artwork and dialogue of Secret Wars may not be break any new ground, the idea of placing so many different heroes and villains into one smashingly cool story-line was new, and THAT'S what makes Secret Wars a groundbreaker.
