THE VISION AND SCARLET WITCH JOIN FORCES IN THEIR VERY OWN MARVEL MASTERWORKS!

The Marvel Masterworks are proud to present a massive volume collecting the adventures of the Avengers icons — Vision and the Scarlet Witch. We’re including not just the massive 1985 maxiseries that went on to inspire WandaVision, but also rare never-before-reprinted stories that chronicle the couples’ search for acceptance. With rich storytelling and vibrant artwork, these stories explore themes of love, duty and identity, showcasing the enduring bond between two iconic characters. The Vision’s origins are explored, while the Scarlet Witch expands her powers in new and sometimes shocking ways. Wanda’s brother Quicksilver’s prejudice risks splitting their family apart. Will his choices set him on a dark path? And with Wanda’s mystic pregnancy nearing term what will Magneto’s return mean for the mother-to-be?

FANTASTIC FOUR MASTERWORKS VOL. 10 AUGMENTED IN SOFTCOVER!

Certifiably the World’s Greatest Comic Collaboration, the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby Fantastic Four run stands as one of the high-water marks in the history of the medium. Their ten titanic years together laid the foundation of the Marvel Universe, and birthed more concepts and characters than any series before or since! There’s plenty of explosive action and family drama as Stan and Jack’s run comes to a close: the FF help mankind take one giant leap when the Kree’s robot Sentry tries to stop the Apollo 11 moon landing, encounter the uncanny Inhumans, and celebrate their 100th issue featuring everyone from Dr. Doom to Dragon Man! And finally, the mutant menace Magneto teams up with Namor in a bid to conquer the world! ‘Nuff said!

STAN LEE WINDS UP HIS LEGENDARY RUN IN FF MASTERWORKS VOL. 12!

The one and only First Family of Super-Heroing continue their mind-bogglingly imaginative adventures in stories crafted by some of the medium’s greatest storytellers. Lead by Stan “The Man” Lee – in the culmination of his incomparable FF run – and the phenomenal artistry of John Buscema and Joe Sinnott, Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Girl, the Human Torch and the ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Thing face-off against their greatest adversary ever. In a word…Galactus!

The world devourer returns and either the Silver Surfer must submit to his will or the Earth dies! It’s a four-part epic that will make a True Believer out of comic fans young and old. That’s worth the price of admission alone, but since we’re so nice there’s also the Human Torch’s struggle to rescue his lady love Crystal from the alchemical clutches of Diablo; a progressive parable of social consciousness in the Marvel Manner championed by Stan Lee; the secret of the Monster from the Lost Lagoon; and Roy Thomas’ regular-series writing debut on a three-part saga featuring the menacing Mole Man and sultry Kala, Queen of the Netherworld – and topped of with a retelling of the FF’s origin!

Guest-starring the Inhumans, the Black Panther, the world’s weirdest babysitter—Agatha Harkness—and Richard Nixon, it’s a comic extravaganza as only mighty Marvel can make them!

THE POST-KIRBY ERA OF FANTASTIC FOUR STARTS HERE!

The World’s Greatest Comic Magazine marches forward with a great new artist, Big John Buscema and the same great man, Stan ‘The Man,’ ‘natch, in a fresh set of epic adventures as only mighty Marvel can make ’em!

It all begins when Johnny Storm’s ladylove, Crystal must leave the polluted human world for the Inhumans’ sanctuary, but within her lies the secret solution to freeing the Thing from his rocky prison. Then, as Benjamin Grimm emerges with the power to change into the Thing at will, Reed Richards must descend into the dark of the Negative Zone to face entropic Annihilus and the mysterious Janus, the Nega-Man.

But what good is controlling your powers, when you’re losing control of your mind? The Thing goes on a rampage and New York City better look out because it can only end in the biggest, the baddest, the best fist-pounding, building-toppling, earth-shaking slobbernocker in Marvel history! The ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Thing goes toe-to-toe with the gamma-powered goliath, the Incredible Hulk, and only one will walk out alive.

That’s not all, though! Before the FF and collect themselves, the all-powerful Over-Mind descends on the planet Earth, and you know it ain’t going to be good for real estate values when the Watcher shows up, too. It’s a menace so great that even the evil Dr. Doom joins forces with the FF, so reserve your copy today, True Believer, there’s plenty more classics to come!

INTERVIEW WITH EDITOR CORY SEDLMEIER:

FANTASTIC. FOUR. MASTERWORKS. VOLUME. 10. ‘ NUFF SAID.

Certifiably the World’s Greatest Comic Collaboration, the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby Fantastic Four run stands as one of the high-water marks in the history of the medium. The ten titanic years on the title laid the very foundation of the Marvel Universe, and birthed more amazing concepts and creative characters than perhaps any series before or since. In this tenth Masterworks volume, we celebrate the entire Lee/Kirby run with essays by critics, creators and luminaries in the field of comics.

But it just ain’t waxing nostalgic, True Believer! This is a Marvel comic, after all! Expect plenty of explosive action and family drama a-go-go as the FF build up to their 100th issue featuring everyone from Doc Doom to Dragon Man! They’ll also help mankind take one giant leap when the Kree’s robot Sentry tries to stop the Apollo 11 moon landing! Just for good measure, we’ll throw in the uncanny Inhumans and Attilan, and the whole shebang comes to a head when the mutant menace, Magneto, teams up with Namor in a bid to conquer the world—Nixon is not pleased!
