Marvel Comics

by Marvel Entertainment

The Marvel Universe spans cosmic empires, New York City rooftops, hidden mutant nations, and the space between dimensions. From Spider-Man swinging through Manhattan to the Avengers assembling against extinction-level threats, from the X-Men fighting for coexistence to the Guardians of the Galaxy defending the cosmos — Marvel is the mythology of the modern age. Every hero carries a cost, every villain believes they're right, and the universe keeps expanding.
