The Story

The Marvel Universe is destroyed — but what comes next? A wave of interdimensional Incursions has obliterated universe after universe until only two remained. Their collision leaves nothing but Battleworld: a patchwork planet forged from the shattered remnants of countless realities, ruled by its absolute master, Doctor Doom. Familiar faces return in shocking new forms as the Fantastic Four, Avengers, Spider-Man, the X-Men, and more face their final battle in Jonathan Hickman's genre-defining Secret Wars.

Why This Collection Matters

Secret Wars (2015) is widely regarded as one of Hickman's most influential Marvel arcs, closing out his years-long Avengers/New Avengers/Fantastic Four saga and reshaping Marvel continuity going forward. With the MCU's own Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars films on the way, this Premier Collection edition — with a foreword from Kevin Feige — is a timely, budget-friendly way for readers to catch up on the comics source material ahead of the movies.

Common Questions

Do I need to read Avengers: Time Runs Out first? Reading Time Runs Out first fills in the build-up, but Secret Wars is written to stand largely on its own as the culminating event.

Is this the same content as prior Secret Wars trades? Yes — this Premier Collection is a reprint in Marvel's smaller, lower-priced trade format, with the same story content plus a new Kevin Feige foreword.
