  By , ,

In the mid-Eighties, a mysterious killer cut a bloody swathe through the Marvel Universe, wiping out a series of pretty minor supervillains that no one really cared about, each time crying “Justice is served!” But the mystery of the Scourge’s identity was eventually solved…

Footnotes:

  1. The entirety of Secret Wars takes place between pages 2 & 3 of Thor #341. In #341, there were three whited out panels – panels which were provided the following month in the letter column of #342.
  2. These two sets of three issues all happen at around the same time.
  3. This story depicts an expanded version of the origin of Titania seen in Secret Wars #3.
  4. The vast majority of this issue takes place at this point.
  5. Takes place entirely within Secret Wars #4
  6. Appears to take place around the time of Secret Wars #6
  7. Jumps around a bit chronologically, but after Secret Wars #9 is the best fit.
  8. Takes place entirely within Secret Wars #10
  9. Takes place entirely between panels 4 & 5 on page 36 of Secret Wars #12, according to editorial notes in the story.
  10. Tells various incidents across the whole span of the original series, but best read here to avoid spoilers.
  11. Iron Man returns with the Avengers.
  12. Iron Man deals with some fallout from the Secret Wars.
  13. An epilogue, but probably the single best issue of the whole storyline.
  14. The Thing remained on Battleworld for 12 issues of his own title before returning to Earth.
  15. The Thing finally returned to Earth in this issue.
  16. Quasar deals with some fallout from Iron Man’s fallout, above.
