Funcoot 07/27/22 11:36:57 PM #1:	The Wikipedia page shows all sorts of connected titles for the 2015 Secret Wars story, but I found a collected edition with only Secret Wars #1-9. Would the story make much sense, and be a good read, by itself, or would I be better off reading the other titles as well? No spoilers, please. --- The answer to the question nobody asked.

It would be the equivalent of watching Avengers Infinity War as your first MCU movie. Sure you can do it and probably get the gist of what's happening, but it wouldn't be a very rewarding experience. --- Can you say David Hasselhoff? <cite>opopopza posted [p:966888486] in Comic fans...
