Secret Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Secret Wars (full title Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars) is the name of a Mattel toy line and a 12-issue Marvel Comics comic book miniseries which were produced between 1984 and 1985. Secret Wars was the first of a new breed of large crossover events which would become a staple of both Marvel and DC's publishing schedule from that year on. Although Secret Wars was launched almost a year before Crisis on Infinite Earths (Secret Wars #1 was cover dated May, 1984, while Crisis #1 is cover dated April, 1985) the two have been compared to each other since the time of their first release. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Secret_Wars   (1491 words)

Secret War In Marvel comics, the Secret War (and Secret War II) were limited series used as an excuse to drag a whole bunch of heroes and villains across the universe to make them fight. In the first Secret War, Spiderman got his alien costume, which turned out in later story arcs to be a creature which became his bitter enemy, Venom. The Secret War was the Lao front of the Second Indochina War[?] and lasted 13 years (1962-1975). www.termsdefined.net /se/secret-war.html   (363 words)

Comixfan Forums - COMICS FOR DUMMIES #22: BEYOND THE SECRET WAR(S) Secret Wars was (see, that pluralization is really tricky) not the worst Marvel crossover (the very existence of Secret Wars II elevates the first one), but upon re-reading, the mocking opportunities just kept presenting themselves to me. I will say that it did accomplish its ultimate goal... Secret Wars II is probably one of the silliest crossovers ever, but a couple of the crossover issue are actually quite good. Now we find ourselves a year and a half into the war that would not end (the fictional current one, not the real current one), so it is time to look back at the previous pluralized Wars, and determine which of their past mistakes will be repeated this time. www.comixfan.com /xfan/forums/printthread.php?t=34137   (3685 words)

Comixfan Forums - SECRET WAR: BOOK THREE REVIEW Secret War is by no means bad, however, and I wouldn't want to give you the impression that I think it is. Paired with the incredible art of Gabriele Dell'Otto, Bendis' writing is elevated to a level I don't think it would have achieved on its own for this book. The action and effect is conveyed, sure, but it becomes clear that Secret War is more and more being given into the hands of a talented artist to showcase his incredible talent than it is to really tell a tale. Of all the books out there written by BMB, the only one you see as "some of the finest writing in the comics business today" is Ultimate Spider-man? I completley disagree. www.comixfan.com /xfan/forums/showthread.php?p=909994   (1802 words)

SpiderFan.org - Comics : Reviews : Secret War: From the Files of Nick Fury The quarterly Secret War is running so late that Marvel felt obliged to put out this title to remind us that Secret War continues to exist and they will get around to finishing it eventually. All of it is taken from the regular Secret War series, or is finished art that did not make the final cut. We are given access to Nick Fury's secret files and personal notes as he muses over what has happened to bring him to this impasse, and which members of the Marvel superhero community should help bail him out. www.spiderfan.org /comics/reviews/secret_war/files.html   (818 words)

ComicsPriceGuide.com - Bendis is taking on a secret war... Dirty, like the battles in Black Hawk Down, if the first Secret Wars was this big planetary cosmic hoo hah, this is as real a fight as it gets in mainstream comics. I think people will be able to reread some comics and say to themselves, “Huh, interesting.” And not just my comics, I mean, all their Marvel Comics.

'Secret War Against Hanoi' armed with new insights into the conflict Shultz's unblinkered account leads to the conclusion that, however brave and potentially useful it may have been, the secret war against Hanoi was close to a wasted effort. As Shultz explains in "The Secret War Against Hanoi," that tenet got the United States into the biggest set of covert actions undertaken during the Cold War. His book, which focuses on the multifarious activities of the Studies and Observation Group, or SOG, as the secret warfare organization was called, is impressively researched and soberly presented. seattlepi.nwsource.com /books/boox024.shtml   (613 words)

Heroes of 'Secret War' finally fly home - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper For decades to come, however, Pentagon silence over the "Secret War" in Laos would obscure the squadron's bravery from family and history as completely as the monsoon clouds that often blanketed the region. For three decades the secret mission and sacrifices of VO-67 were known to few outside the squadron and air units that supported it. The Navy plane was 20 miles inside Laos, a neutral country, on a top-secret mission to drop a series of listening devices along the Ho Chi Minh Trail, when it probably took ground fire and nose-dived into a remote jungle peak, killing all aboard. the.honoluluadvertiser.com /article/2001/Jul/08/ln/ln03a.html   (1510 words)

The Secret War of H.M.S. Waddling Duck Monitors were used a lot in the First World War for coastal bombardments, especially in shallow waters and I suppose the Admiralty thought we should need ‘em again, but it hasn’t worked out that way. It was an autumn night in 1939, a few weeks after the start of the war. From his seat in the tiny wardroom, Radstock could see the tense, listening figures of Kapitan Leutenant Premmer and other officers of the German submarine on the control platform. www.britishcomics.20m.com /duck.htm   (3492 words)

In reading the book one concludes that it is an honest and straight forward account of the way our war in Loas was fought, without trying to make heros of the men who were truely the heros, nor overly critizing those who were more of a hinderance than help. this is a seldom told and largely unknown aspect of the vietnam war. aalbc.com /cgi/aalbcamazonproductsfeed.cgi?item_id=0312963408&search_type=AsinSearch&locale=us   (254 words)

He recruits some of New York's super-heroes to go on a mission in their civilian identities, but now, the results of that mission have come back to haunt the members. A year ago, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had discovered that so-called super-villains outfitted with tech gear were being supplied with the expensive technology by a foreign source, and they realized someone was gearing them up for something other than bank heists. www.thefourthrail.com /reviews/critiques/052404/secretwar2.shtml   (516 words)

TheFourthRail.com - Critiques on Infinite Earths While reading this comic, I was honestly entertained, but there was a certain something that seemed to be missing. I've been racking my brain for a while now to put my finger on it, but it eludes me. I'm still intrigued enough by the story to continue reading the series, but so far, this Bendis book lacks the sort of hook that usually has me riveted and eager to devour the next chapter. The overall look and feel of this comic book reminds me of the various titles Marvel released in the mid 1990s to capitalize on the popularity of Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross's Marvels. www.thefourthrail.com /reviews/critiques/020904/secretwar1.shtml   (496 words)

The book attempts to explain, in as unbiased a manner as possible, the strategic reasoning behind both America's and the terrorist's actions, how the war had its origins in the end of the Cold War, and how the two sides' strategies are playing out.

Blair had secret war plans, politicians say Although the war was justified, said Conservative official Michael Howard, "there is a separate question, which is whether the government told the truth in the run-up to the war." Over the weekend, Clare Short, who resigned from Blair's Cabinet after the war was over, accused Blair on television of having lied to the Cabinet. Even the Conservative Party, which solidly supported Blair's firm stance on the war, said it was considering backing an inquiry, too. seattlepi.nwsource.com /national/124758_blair03.html   (670 words)
