I was one of those people who was more than a little disgruntled that my favorite books were being cancelled just to make way for Secret Wars, but I was actually very impressed with SW #1. Everyone involved did an excellent job and, as long as the rest of the series continues on with the level of epic-ness that we got in the first issue, then this could easily become another modern masterpiece. Maybe even on par with House of M (which was the greatest comic event since the Dark Phoenix Saga).
