Phenomenal cosmic powers… but can’t afford his living space!

In this episode, Mark and Dan discuss the first line-wide events that crossed over into Spider-Man comics, as Marvel began to realize, in the wake of SECRET WARS, just how much attention they could bring to their entire line of characters and titles if they could find big stories to anchor them around, if only for a moment in time. In the late eighties and early nineties, the shockwaves of the X-Men event entitled INFERNO and the Avengers and Fantastic Four event entitled ACTS OF VENGEANCE hit the entire line of Spider-Man comics. It set a precedent for his inclusion in a grander Marvel story, even at the cost of reshaping the stories occurring in his book.
