Marvels

    (Marvel, 1994-1996, 2004)
™ and ©1994 Marvel Entertainment Group

Countless comic readers have grown up in the Marvel Universe, where the exploits of Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men interweave naturally with each other, and with people and events from the real world. Such strong continuity was rare in comic books when Marvel started out, but the creation of coherent “comic universes” has since become almost mandatory for any line of comics.

After thirty years in the Marvel Universe, readers take for granted that Norse gods walk the streets of New York alongside winged mutants and human fireballs. This series, however, makes it all seem fresh again, recapturing the wonder of the early days of Marvel. It’s told through the eyes of an ace reporter, who recounts the story of when The Marvels first appeared. The fully painted artwork of the series only adds to the magical feel of one of the best titles that Marvel Comics has published in years.
