News: Marvel Season One Coming In 2012

Whether you're a long-time fan of the "Marvel Universe" franchise or are just new to the hobby of collecting and reading Marvel Comics-published comic books, here is something you may be interesting in. Next year, Marvel Comics will be releasing a series of four graphic novels titled "Marvel: Season One", where each graphic novel not only revisits the origins of a particular Marvel Unvierse superhero or superhero group with a more contemporary aproach in attempt to meet 21st reader tastes, but also features never-before told adventures that took place within the first year of active duty for that superhero or superhero group. Note that this is no means to reboot anything of the "Marvel Unvierse" franchise, but rather a means to take readers to an earlier time in the history of the Earth-616, the mainstream universe setting of that franchise's canon continuity.

Anyway, here are the installments of the series listed below:

  • Fantastic Four: Season One (to be released in February 2012)
  • X-Men: Season One (to be released in March 2012)
  • Daredevil: Season One (to be released in April 2012)
  • Spider-Man: Season One (to be released in May 2012)

In the meantime, you may want to visit your nearby comic book shop for a free preview guide to these upcoming graphic novels.
