As I mentioned in an earlier post, I make a point to read every comic I buy at least twice, once the week it comes out, and again several months later before I file them away. The first time I read it, I can appreciate the serial nature of the story, since each issue is released between two and four weeks apart. The second time, I read entire story arcs in one sitting, so I can enjoy the whole story at once, as if I purchased a graphic novel. I just finished my second reading of the Secret Wars event and many of the tie-in stories. For a bit of context: when Secret Wars came out, almost every single Marvel series ended, and for a few months were replaced with comparable miniseries. This is because, in the story, the entire Marvel multiverse ends and is replaced with Battleworld, a planet made up of surviving pieces of different universes/dimensions. I purchased several of these, especially the ones that seemed to replace the comics I was buying anyway (...
