I read Secret Wars #1 and it was great. For new comers I'd probably say find Secret Wars #0 to get some background if you have no clue what's going on.
Spoilers ahead
If you hadn't been reading New Avengers or Avengers and read this event it'd be pretty clear to see that it's the end of the world as another one comes to collide with it while your fav heroes fight an invading force of alternate heroes which ends with the worlds crashing in to each other.
No it isn't.
If Marvel wanted to do that they would've never reversed House of M. They'd just kill off mutants or make them all Inhumans. Not have Secret Wars be a plan 5+ years in the making. Don't pay attention to bad conspiracy theories.
Also making the comics exactly like the movies doesn't make sense and ignores facts.

Even if you came in to this with no prior knowledge I feel the issue laid out everything pretty clearly. Two Earths are colliding and it's going to lead to the end of both universes, that's called an incursion. At the start we see Dr. Doom, Dr. Strange, and Molecule Man face off against the Beyonders (guys trying to destroy the multiverse) and it ends with a white light.
On Earth, Evil Reed Richards a.k.a the Maker of the Ultimate universe lies/doesn't tell the whole truth to Fury and convinces him to send the Ultimates and SHIELD to attack the main Marvel universe. Other heroes react.
Reed Richards and Black Panther are trying to get away on an escape raft to restart the universe/human race in the aftermath of the incursion. Their first plan fail meanwhile the heroes of both Earths fight each other. Everybody is showing up from X-Men to Guardians of the Galaxy. Lots of fighting. Heroes die. Marvel heroes basically beat the **** out of the Ultimate heroes and then Maker unleashes his ppl to continue the fight as he escapes with Thanos and his cabal from the main Marvel Universe.
Manifold is the back up plan for the escape raft and has the power to teleport ppl on to it, ppl they will need. He stays behind on Earth to finish the job and we see heroes starting disappearing in the middle of the fight on to the raft like Spidey and finally Cyclops after he gets phoenix force powers.
The book ends with a white light and seeing the face of Dr. Doom. If you pay attention to the narration you can pretty much guess what most of it is implying. On the final page we see a crashed escape raft.

Secret Wars is just an overblown way to remove the mutants from 616 and thus make the regular universe reflect the cinematic ones .
