Comics Beyond?

[SpideyForPrez]

Hi everybody, I was looking around on marvel.com and I saw this Beyond title with Spidey and Venom and a bunch of c too d list characters who enter into some kind of secret war like event. So what I'm wondering is has anyone read this, and is it any good? I'm a big spidey fan and this has caught my attention but also looks like it could suck, so if anyone knows anything thanks for the info.


Hail SPIDEY!

if your buyin it just for spidey, then youll prob not enjoy the last few pages. overall i thought it was ok, not the best by far, but not the worst story ive read. maybe 4-6 out of 10.

you should try to pick up the collected version of the original Secret Wars with spider-man and the beyonder in it. it's referenced in the first issue of beyond! and well worth a read. it's old school story telling with the modern day "event" twist. good stuff it's from 1984, was the first real big inter-character crossover event and was the origin of the black spider-man costume (soon to be seen in spider-man 3). if they dont still print the collected series then i'm sure there'll be one on e-bay.


to answer your question, yes i enjoyed beyond! and picked it up looking for something new with spider-man in it. it doesnt show him at his most powerful best and it mainly focuses on gravity but i really enjoyed it and now plan on skipping the rest of the series and picking up the trade instead.
