The Secret War Experience – Marvel’s First New Millenium War
Secret War is something of an anomaly in the Marvel Universe. The 5 issue mini-series is the first Marvel “war” of the 2000’s, yet it frequently falls outside the realm of the major Marvel events.
Aside from the part where the issues nearly steal their name verbatim from a much better known series in Marvel history, this really shouldn’t be the case.

But of course, delivering all of the above is what makes Arrested Development… fantastic. If you’re like me, though, all this Fantastic Four talk leaves a few unanswered questions.
