Hrdinové a padouši Marvelu, uvěznění miliardy mil daleko od Země, pokračují ve své epické tajné válce o nejvyšší cenu. S rozvíjejícím se bojem začne být zjevné nové nebezpečí, a to poté, kdy se Dr. Doom pokusí ukrást Beyonderovu nesmírnou sílu pro sebe. Hrdinové vědí, že ho musí za každou cenu zastavit, jinak bude před Doomem donucen pokleknout celý vesmír!

Tajné války jsou jedním z prvních obřích crossoverů, ve kterém se setkávají skoro všichni slavní hrdinové nakladatelství Marvel… a stejně tak skoro všichni padouši. Obě strany se pustí do nelítostného boje – a na jeho výsledku bude záležet osud světa. Na jedné straně Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, X-Men, Avengers, Fantastic Four, Thor a další – a na straně druhé Doctor Doom, Doctor Octopus, Lizard, Ultron a jiní. Tajné války byly prvním crossoverem v dějinách komiksu a otevřely tak cestu dalším podobně laděným příběhům. Změnily však nejen tvář žánru, nýbrž i hrdiny. Poprvé se v nich objevil Spider-Manův černý kostým a i další hrdinové tu prošli zásadní proměnou – ať už tělesnou nebo psychickou. V této knize najdete jak kompletní první minisérii Tajné války, tak bonusy v podobě navazujících sešitů Thora, She-Hulk a dva příběhy z alternativní řady What If…?.

Největší hrdinové a padouši Země byli uneseni neuvěřitelně mocnou bytostí známou jako Beyonder a jsou nuceni bojovat jeden proti druhému. Na vítěze čeká moc překračující i ty nejdivočejší představy, zatímco poražení mají vyhlídku pouze na jistou smrt!
