Last time Earth’s heroes encountered the Beyonder, they fought for their lives. This time, they fight for all existence! A year after kidnapping the most powerful beings on Earth and pitting them against one another in a “Secret War” on a distant world, the omnipotent Beyonder comes to Earth to continue his study of humanity. However, a being so powerful and so naïve is a dangerous combination. As the Beyonder’s understanding slowly grows, so too do his own desires — and even the lord of lies, Mephisto, fears what the Beyonder might finally decide he desires.

  1. That WCA time travel story was pretty good. Might have to pick this one up. And while I don't think I'd like to get it, I wouldn't mind giving Secret Wars II another read. Thats a lot of Milgrom artwork being reprinted.
