Maybe the slime is like with fish, to offer some protection from disease?

Started reading Secret Wars for the first time since maybe when it came out. It’s really fucking bad as a story. It comes off as lame fanfic when, in reality, it’s a big toy commercial. It’s around this time that I quit comics (maybe a year or so later) tho I don’t recall this being any kind of trigger. But now, man, it should have been.

Yeah I read that too when it came out. Did you stick around long enough for Secret Wars II? I still have mine around somewhere, both complete series. I was too young to notice how bad the stories might have been, and barely remember them now. New black Spiderman costume? Sign me up!

I think I had a couple random issues of SWII, but I was done around that time.

Secret Wars is so obviously Jim Shooter slamming action figures together, but Secret Wars II is somehow so much worse because it’s the first real crossover to insist itself onto the entire line in continuity. At least the original was self-contained.

Though it does famously have a page where Spider-Man teaches the Beyonder (a godlike creature with Jheri curls dressed like Sonny Crockett) how to shit in a toilet.

That rings a bell, so I must have had that issue.

The other thing about SW was that it took an entire year to fully play out, but in all the other books, it happened between issues. So for the next year (until SW concluded) the characters had all gone thru this remarkable event yet didn't speak much of what happened, talking around it, so as to not reveal things that wouldn't be published for several months. What a wretched editorial edict for the writers to labour under.

The worst thing in my book was that it gave Colossus a weird love interest that died, thus making him suddenly a mope who acted like a dick. Honestly, the naked contempt Shooter had was evident, because he wrote all the mutant characters like it was still 1975.
