Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars #8
"Invasion!" marks a pivotal moment in *Secret Wars* #8, where the heroes launch a furious assault on the villains' stronghold in revenge for the Wasp’s apparent death. Written by Jim Shooter and brought to life by Mike Zeck’s dynamic art—inked by John Beatty, Jack Abel, and Mike Esposito, with colors by Christie Scheele and letters by Joe Rosen—the issue delivers high-stakes action and shocking twists. As the team returns with a wounded She-Hulk, they’re stunned to learn the Wasp survived, healed by Zsaji, and soon after, Spider-Man is transformed by a mysterious machine that grants him a new black costume—just as Xavier warns them that Galactus has begun devouring Battleworld. The cover, penciled by Zeck and inked by Beatty, captures the moment of transformation in dramatic style.

The heroes invade the bad guys' base in retaliation for the death of the Wasp. They soundly trounce the bad guys and capture most of them. As they return to their base with a badly wounded She-Hulk, they discover that Wasp is not dead but was healed by Zsaji. When Spider-Man notices that Thor's costume has been restored, he is directed to a machine that spits out a small black ball which quickly covers him and becomes his new costume. Xavier contacts the heroes and tells them that Galactus has begun to eat Battleworld.
