Behind The Panels: Secret Wars

How does a team of talented creators destroy the Marvel Universe? And replace every book in Marvel’s comic line with an alternate-reality crossover event? And then remake the entire Marvel Universe in a way where every story before, during, and after the event still “counts”? Marvel’s influential 2015 Secret Wars event remains one of the most popular Marvel crossovers of all time, but it was unusual in a number of ways. And it took a universe of creators and editors to pull it off. In the first volume of PUGW’s Behind The Panels series, this deluxe hardcover art book written by Ellie Pyle and featuring meaningful insights from a vast array of the superstar architects who built Secret Wars from the ground up, we’re going to spill the secrets of Secret Wars, from tales of Marvel’s creative summits and planning sessions, to the final issues coming out, and all the many lasting changes to the Marvel Universe that are still playing out today. Plus: wild pitches! New character designs! And a fascinating, one-of-a-kind glimpse into how massive comic-book crossovers gets made.
