This first issue includes an invasion from orbit, a picnic in Prospect Park, super hero sightseeing in Manhattan, the All-Winners Squad in 1947, Reed Richards during his time in military intelligence, cosmic beings beyond space and time- and that's only for starters.
Kurt Busiek (MARVELS, Astro City) is back, with the biggest, wildest, most sprawling series ever to hit the Marvel Universe, telling stories that span the decades and range from cosmic adventure to intense human drama, from the street-level to the cosmic, starring literally anyone from Marvel's very first heroes to the superstars of tomorrow. I'd say "the sky's the limit," except in the Marvel Universe, there's a lot going on beyond that sky. There are three new marvels in the first issue, although a couple of them are only seen for a panel or so. And there'll be new characters, too, from the street-level to the cosmic. There'll be popular characters of today, there'll be obscure characters from long ago - heck, there'll be story threads that take place in the past, or possibly the future. The heroes, the villains, the oddities - all of it.
THE MARVELS features the marvels - all the many and varied characters of the Marvel Universe. It's a concept, or a universe, depending on how you look at it. It's a smorgasbord of Marvel heroes and history. THE MARVELS is intended as a freewheeling book that can go anywhere, do anything, use anyone. Big stuff can happen in the Marvel Universe, but we usually see it confined largely to the Avengers in AVENGERS, to the FF in FANTASTIC FOUR, and so on. The whole idea of THE MARVELS is to be able to use the whole Marvel Universe - not just all the characters in it, but all the history of it. And, as we toldja, is described by writer Kurt Busiek as "Anyone.
The teased project with Kurt Busiek, Alex Ross and Yildiray Cinar is, as we said, The Marvels.
