Avengers: Secret Wars gets a Marvel Premier Collection collecting the pivotal event

Posted on by

The end has arrived. The unstoppable wave of interdimensional Incursions has obliterated universe after universe until only two remained — the Marvel Universe and the Ultimate Universe. Their collision has left nothing but Battleworld a vast, patchwork planet forged from the shattered remnants of countless realities.

On this broken stage, heroes and villains struggle to survive. Strange new domains rise. Familiar faces return in shocking new forms. And at the throne of creation itself sits Doom — absolute master of all.

VISIONARY. DEFINITIVE. UNMISSABLE.

From master storyteller Jonathan Hickman comes the definitive Marvel saga — the cataclysmic event where the Fantastic Four, Avengers, Spider-Man, the X-Men and more face their final battle as the entire Multiverse falls!

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is entertaining but is it a good introduction to new readers?

Posted on by

“Brand New Day” wasn’t just a story — it was an era. Spanning almost three years and over one hundred issues, it was a time when a rotating cast of the industry’s most talented writers and artists redefined Spider-Man for the 21st century. The stories they created continue to influence the Spider-Man comics of today — as well as television series, video games and films featuring everyone’s favorite wall-crawler!

The handpicked stories featured in this Brand New edition highlight the scope and spirit of the era — from heart-wrenching to pulse-pounding to deeply human.

Hawkeye: My Life as a Weapon is still amazing & the Marvel Premier Collection edition is a must get

Posted on by

Clint Barton, ordinary guy in a world of gods and super-soldiers, just wants to do right — and maybe grill a decent rooftop BBQ. Alongside Kate Bishop, his equally sharp-eyed protégé, he takes aim at digital digital doomsday, Russian mobsters in tracksuits, and the everyday chaos of life in New York. With Aja’s minimalist brilliance and Fraction’s razor-sharp voice, these stories turned the small details — neighbors, stray dogs, broken tape decks — into unforgettable legend.

And then there’s Pizza Dog. Yes, he gets his own Eisner-winning story.

Bonus Content: variant covers, sketchbook, cover concepts, page process, color guides, David Aja’s drawing playlists

Civil War comes to the Marvel Premier Collection and holds up after all these years

Captain America: The Winter Soldier comes to the Marvel Premier Collection and it’s still so good

Posted on by

Writer Ed Brubaker pushes the Captain America mythos headlong into the future with high adventure and full-throttle action. For more than fifty years, the Soviets employed an undercover agent — an unstoppable, untraceable killer known as the Winter Soldier — to assassinate key political figures in the West. His suspected identity? Bucky Barnes, Captain America’s one-time partner, thought to have been murdered in the closing days of World War II.

Now the Winter Soldier is back, working under the command of the ruthless General Lukin — who has obtained a functional Cosmic Cube, a weapon of limitless power that can bend reality itself. Vowing to end Lukin’s reign of terror and destruction, Captain America relentlessly tracks the Cube — only to find himself face-to-face with the Winter Soldier. Will Cap be forced to battle his resurrected partner so soon after finally learning the astonishing truth?

Bronx of the Gargoyles Explores Beautiful Blizzard in New Special

Posted on by

In time for the holidays, the beloved Gargoyles must trudge through a fearsome blizzard in the new Winter Special coming this December from Dynamite Entertainment and franchise creator Greg Weisman.

A massive storm has blanketed a snowy New York City, bringing the city that never sleeps to a frigid standstill. As night falls, the Gargoyles awaken to find their adopted city transformed into a silent winter wonderland. Crime doesn’t take snow days though, so the Manhattan Clan commence their patrol.

The dog-like fan-favorite Bronx is eager to explore this new landscape though, running and jumping through the piles and falling crystals of beautiful and refreshing snow. While on his own, his peaceful night is rudely interrupted when he witnesses a family get separated. It’s up to Bronx to sniff out this mission himself, and before the missing family member is trapped under ten feet of snow!

Franchise mastermind Greg Weisman reunited with original flagship Gargoyles artist George Kambadais, and they’re assisted with writing contributions from Nate Cosby, typically in the editor chair. This special extra-length 40-pager features a set of stunning covers from Kambadais, Jae Lee, Trish Forstner, and Chris Eliopoulos that capture the winter wonderland and Bronx’s wonderment among it all perfectly.

This Bronx tale is set to warm the hearts of even the most jaded of seasonal cynics. Grab a cup of cocoa, slip on the fuzzy socks, and enjoy the latest Gargoyles gem!
