History ComicBook / TheMarvels

''The Marvels'' is a 2021 [[Creator/MarvelComics Marvel]] comic book written by Creator/KurtBusiek, with art by Yildray Cinar and Richard Isanove. Per Busiek, it's meant to tell stories that involve the LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters from around the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, without the book becoming a CrisisCrossover. "From before the Big Bang to beyond the End of Time. From the Avengers to the X-Men, from Aarkus to Zzzax, from the Kree Empire to the Dark Dimension and into the unknown it ranges, vast and deep. And there have been adventures too big for any one series. Until now."

Not to be confused with the upcoming Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse film of the same name, which is a sequel to ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}''.
