Hasbro / Secret Wars #8
"Invasion" delivers a high-stakes escalation in the Secret Wars saga, as the heroes launch a furious assault on the villains' stronghold in revenge for the Wasp's apparent death. With She-Hulk gravely injured and the battlefield littered with captured foes, a shocking twist reveals the Wasp was secretly healed by Zsaji—just as Spider-Man uncovers a mysterious machine that transforms him into a new, fully armored version of himself. Written by Jim Shooter and illustrated by Mike Zeck, with inks by John Beatty, Jack Abel, and Mike Esposito, and colors by Christie Scheele, the issue's cover by Zeck and Beatty captures the moment of transformation. As the heroes regroup, Xavier's urgent warning arrives: Galactus has begun devouring Battleworld.
