The Marvel Epic Collection is an ongoing line of color trade paperbacks that republish Marvel comics in a uniform trade dress. Announced in April 2013, their stated intention was to collect entire runs of characters or titles as "big fat collections with the best price we can maintain",[1] in similar manner to the discontinued black-and-white Essential Marvel.[2]

The series is published out of order, though have a completist goal. Marvel's Senior Vice President of Sales David Gabriel said: "When all is said and done, the Epic volumes will fit seamlessly next to one another on readers' bookshelves, presenting a complete and unbroken run of each title."[3]

The original announcement consisted of six titles at the pace of one volume a month, with Gabriel adding: "Marvel's most storied titles – including Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, Captain America, Fantastic Four, Iron Man and Thor – are going Epic."

The first book, The Enemy Within, Iron Man's 10th numbered volume, was released in September 2013.[4] It sold an estimated 864 copies in the first month, reaching no. 129 in the top-300 graphic novel chart.[5]

Initial sales were steady, with October's release – Thor's 16th volume, War of the Pantheons – charting at 127 and selling 986 copies in the month of release. November's Amazing Spider-Man vol. 20: Cosmic Adventures reached no. 103, with 1,010 sales. The Avengers Epic vol. 9: Final Threat in December sold 943, with a chart position of 135.[6][7][8]

The first Epic Collection to crack the top-100 was the 10th overall release. Amazing Spider-Man vol. 15: Ghosts of the Past, in May 2014, sold 1,152 copies, reaching no. 81 (51 for dollar rank).[9][10]

The series now has more than 50 lines, including licensed books, such Alien, Star Wars, Micronauts and ROM – Spaceknight.

The rate of publication has increased significantly since launch, with 19 Epic Collections released in 2014, the first full year of print. There were 45 in 2019, and 89 in 2024, including reprints. With the escalated rate, two sub-imprints launched in 2023 and 2025 respectively. The Modern Era Epic Collection covers more recent comic runs, and the Ultimate Epic Collection is for the 2000's Ultimate Universe.

DC Comics launched a similar line – DC Finest – in 2024, which it described as "affordably priced, large-size paperback collections" providing "a new line of comprehensive collections of the most in-demand periods, genres, and characters from across DC history".[11]

Epic Collections

The core books of the Epic Collection largely span Marvel's silver and bronze age of comic books. With a few exceptions, this roughly covers a period from the release of Fantastic Four #1 in 1961[12] until around 1998 and the launch of Marvel Knights.[13]

Aliens

In July 2020, Marvel Comics gained the rights to publish Alien and Predator in the wake of Fox's sale to Disney.[14] Since 2023, the company has been republishing comics originally produced by Dark Horse Comics as part of the Epic Collection.

Avengers West Coast

Even though the Epic Collections are titled Avengers West Coast, the comic was published as The West Coast Avengers up until issue #46.

Volume 7: Ultron Unbound contains the first appearance of James Rhodes as War Machine, as well as the origin story for the Julia Carpenter version of Spider-Woman.

Meanwhile, Scarlet Witch showed her initial slip into madness in #56, reproduced in Vol. 5: Darker Than Scarlet. This eventually led to the events of "House Of M" and the "No More Mutants" Marvel age.[17]

Generation X

Generation X is a team of young mutants, mentored by Banshee and Emma Frost, created after the events of 1994's X-Men event, Phalanx Covenant. That event is reprinted at the beginning of Volume 1: Back To School, before the advent of the ongoing Generation X series.

Compared to the rest of the 1990s X-books, Generation X was pitched differently. "This was a book stripped of all the gimmicks that were so common in the '90s. (Writer Scott Lobdell) understood that the X-Men are essentially the comic book equivalent of a soap opera, and that the real focus should always lie upon the interaction between the team members."[25]

Master of Kung Fu

The Master of Kung FuEpic Collections showcases the character Shang-Chi, who was born out of the 1970s craze for martial arts content. "Marvel Comics wanted to adapt the television series Kung Fu as a comic book, but with WarnerMedia, the property's owner, also owning Marvel's rival DC Comics, that was never going to happen."[36]

Marvel's own series was popular enough to last until 1983 and issue #125.

Meanwhile, Epic Collection Volume 3: Traitors to the Crown was cancelled due to rights issues.[37]

Star Wars (Legends)

Marvel's first 1977 comic was a six-issue adaptation of the original film. The series ran for 107 issues and three Annuals until 1986, featuring stories set between the original trilogy of films, as well as adaptations of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Rights briefly went to Blackthorne Publishing, before being acquired by Dark Horse Comics. The company produced over 100 Star Wars titles until 2014.

Following the October 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney, it was announced that the Star Wars comics license would return to Marvel Comics in 2015.

In April 2014, Lucasfilm rebranded the majority of the Star Wars Expanded Universe as Legends, only keeping the theatrical Skywalker saga and the 2008 Clone Warsfilm and television series as canon. This means only Star Wars Modern Era Epic Collections are properly included in the official lore.[48]

Marvel's Senior Vice President of sales and marketing, David Gabriel, said the Star Wars releases would “be bouncing around to different periods of Star Wars history with each Epic Collection, constructing one huge tapestry, collecting full unbroken runs of all the greatest Star Wars comics from the past 35 years.”[49]

Outside of the Original Marvel Years books, many of Star Wars Epic Collection contains contents originally published by Dark Horse comics. That said, although it can be considered completed, there are several omissions in the catalogue, such as the Clone Wars tie-in comic book series of the same name, written and illustrated by various creators involved with the series, including Henry Gilroy and Dave Filoni, a weekly webcomic of the same name, released exclusively on StarWars.com, as well as quarterly graphic novels of the same name.[50][51]

Thor

The character of Thor launched in Journey Into Mystery #83 and became so popular that the book was retitled to Thor with issue #126.

Some of the character's most notable storylines - including The Surtur Saga and The Ballad of Beta Ray Bill - are yet to be reprinted in an Epic collection, though others include To Wake the Mangog in Volume 4, and The Eternals Saga in Volume 10.[52]

X-Men

The X-MenEpic Collection has three distinct periods. Volumes 1 to 4 reprint Classic X-Men books, written by Stan Lee and Roy Thomas, chronicling the period up to the comic's cancellation in 1970, and various guest appearances in other Marvel titles between 1970-1975.[59]

Volume 5: Second Genesis starts with the reinvention of the team, in Giant-Sized X-Men from 1975. It then reproduces Chris Claremont's iconic 16-year run on Uncanny X-Men, concluding with volume 19: Mutant Genesis.

Volume 20: Bishop's Crossing starts the collection of material published after Claremont's exit in 1991.

Modern Era Epic Collections

Marvel's "Modern Era" has never been specifically defined, however, when Marvel Knights launched in 1998, it was described as "the first wave of Marvel's renaissance".[60] The imprint was launched partly as a way to redefine the company, following Marvel's bankruptcy - and was "a major factor behind the revival of Marvel Comics".[61]

The first Modern Era Epic Collection was solicited by Marvel in December 2022. Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider - Edge of Spider-Verse was released in May 2023 to coincide with the release of the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse movie.[62]

All-New Wolverine

Laura Kinney - or X-23 - was originally introduced in the television series, X-Men Evolution. Her first comics appearance was in the 2003 NYX series as a clone of Wolverine.[63][64] Tom Taylor's new take on the character launched at the end of 2015, exploring Kinney's relationship with her cloned sisters.

Amazing Spider-Man

The character's modern era begins with J. Michael Straczynski, who wrote The Amazing Spider-Man for six years from 2001. His first arc, Coming Home, introduced the villain Morlun, and saw Peter Parker's Aunt May discover his alter-ego.

Later, the writer attempted to reinvent parts of Spider-Man's origin, with storylines such as Spider-Totem and The Other. He caused controversy with the Sins Past storyline, which involved Gwen Stacy – then navigated the Civil War event, before finishing with One More Day, which saw Peter's marriage to Mary-Jane removed from history.[65][66]

Every volume so far is a direct port of a previous Complete Collection into the Modern Epic line.

Astonishing X-Men

Captain America

The modern era of Captain America starts with writer Ed Brubaker's eight-year run. The first two volumes include the return of Bucky Barnes as The Winter Soldier, and the death of Captain America following Civil War.

The storyline was not only "one of the best-selling comics of the decade" but also "perhaps one of the best moves that Marvel could have made ... (as it) provided the perfect opportunity for the gravity of the Civil War’s outcome to be felt".[68][69]

Daredevil

In 1998, Daredevil was cancelled and relaunched, with a new #1 - plus filmmaker Kevin Smith as writer and Joe Quesada as artist. This relaunch "set the tone for the entire Marvel Knights line, directly inspired subsequent depictions of the character in film and television and set the template for how to relaunch a Marvel character."[70]

The rest of the volume was dominated by Brian Michael Bendis' 55 issues, then 33 from Ed Brubaker. Bendis' run starts with Volume 2: Underboss; Brubaker's with Volume 6: The Devil in Cell-Block D

The Clint Barton version of the character was killed during 2004's Avengers Disassembled event, though returned to the team as Ronin in New Avengers. His separate Modern Era series begins after the events of Secret Invasion, in which his wife, Mockingbird, returns.

Launching at the same time as Marvel's first Iron Man movie, volumes three to six of the character's modern era covers the Matt Fraction-Salvador Larroca run on the title. Readers "were treated to a version of Tony [Stark] that embraced his mistakes and flaws", plus arcs which were "filled with stories that pushed the Armored Avenger to his limit, and revealed new layers to the tortured genius underneath the suit".[72][73]

Star Wars (canon)

The return of Star Wars comics rights to Marvel saw the continuity of previous releases reset to "Legends", with "any material published since April 2014 now considered canon."[78] That means only the Modern Era releases are in the same world as the Star Wars films and television series.

Star Wars (ongoing)

The first issue of the 2015 Star Wars relaunch "exceeded one million copies sold on the direct market ... the top-selling single issue of the past 20 years."[79] That version of the comic ran for 75 issues, exploring the time between Episode IV: A New Hope and Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.

Charles Soule's 2020 relaunch ran for 50 issues, bridging the gap from Episode V until Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.[80]

Star Wars: Darth Vader

Kieron Gillen's 2015 Darth Vader series lasted 25 issues, filling the gap between Episode IV: A New Hope and Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.[81] Gillen wrote: "This was my story... Vader must fall from power in some way after A New Hope and then climb to whole new heights. My go-to reference was House of Cards - where a powerful man feels slighted and turns to methods that he would have previously avoided to reach whole new levels of power."[82]

The series was relaunched in 2017 by writer Charles Soule, for a separate 25-issue run that immediately follows the events of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.[83]

It was relaunched a third time in 2020, for a 50-issue arc, with writer Greg Pak bridging Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.[84]

Ultimate Epic Collections

On 10 October 2024, Marvel announced - via the Epic Marvel Podcast - that the Ultimate Epic Collection would be separate from the main Epic Collection, with its own trade dress.[87]

While most Epic Collection releases take place in Marvel's main Earth-616 universe, the Ultimate series is designated as Earth-1610, with its own continuity.[74]

The first book released was Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 1: Learning Curve in March 2025, with a different Ultimate book released in April, May and June. The launch marked 25 years since the inception of Ultimate Marvel.

As well as the four lines below, the first three volumes of Miles Morales: Spider-Man also takes place in the Earth-1610 continuity.

Ultimate Fantastic Four

After Ultimate Spider-Man, X-Men, and Ultimates, Ultimate Fantastic Four was the final core book to launch in Marvel's new universe. Writers Mark Millar and Brian Michael Bendis worked together with artist Adam Kubert for the first six-issue arc, before Warren Ellis took on the series.

Compared to the main universe counterparts, the new series saw: "The more "superheroic" elements of the series done away with, as the Ultimate Fantastic Four book focused more on science fiction and exploration. Doctor Doom was given a less cartoony characterization than his more well-known mainstream counterpart. Other villains such as Mole Man, Annihilus and even Galactus also received massive makeovers."[88]

The series ran for 60 issues.

Ultimate Spider-Man

The first book in Marvel's Ultimate Universe was Ultimate Spider-Man. The title ran from 2000 until 2012, with a younger version of Peter Parker as the main protagonist. The new iteration was a response to "so much backstory that the stories (in the main books) were almost incomprehensible."[89]

Bill Jemas, President of Marvel Enterprises from 2000 to 2004, wrote: “Joe Quesada and I started the Ultimate books because we wanted Marvel to get back in touch with kids. We wanted Marvel's great teen heroes - Spidey and the X-Men - to star in comics for 2001 kids.”[90]

Creator Brian Michael Bendis said: “When I got hired, I literally thought I was going to be writing one of the last — if not the last — Marvel comics.”

The title went on to run for more than 150 issues and launched the character of Miles Morales.

Ultimate X-Men

Launched by writer Mark Millar, Ultimate X-Men saw "the superheroic side of the franchise pushed a bit to the sidelines. Instead, the prejudice mutants faced on a daily basis took center stage."

Millar was followed by superstar writers Brian Michael Bendis, Brian K Vaughan, and Robert Kirkman, and "the Ultimate X-Men comics quickly became the most popular titles at Marvel Comics, even outselling X-Men books in the mainstream continuity."[91]

The series ran for 100 issues.

Ultimates

The Ultimates portrayed a version of The Avengers, outside of the main Marvel continuity that "looked and sounded like a movie in a way that no Marvel story ever had."

Written by Mark Millar, and drawn by Bryan Hitch, the comic blurred the lines of right and wrong, where the heroes "have no idea they are supervillains. They think they’re merely doing what superheroes are supposed to do: defend truth, justice, and the American Way — with an emphasis on the latter."[92] Millar conceded that point, describing the series as a "pro-status quo book" and "kind of a right-wing book, like Rush Limbaugh doing super comics".[93]

Director of Marvel Studio's 2012 The Avengers movie, Joss Whedon, said: “It’s my feeling that Ultimates brought Marvel into the modern age in a way no other book did.”[89]
