'''Icon''' is an imprint of Creator/MarvelComics, publishing creator-owned titles that are often darker and more mature than the regular Marvel titles. In this way it functions similar to Creator/{{DC|Comics}}'s Creator/{{Vertigo|Comics}}.

It was launched in 2004 with Michael Avon Oeming and Creator/BrianMichaelBendis' superhero/detective series ''ComicBook/{{Powers}}'', and David Mack's ''Comicbook/{{Kabuki}}'', both of which were relocated from Creator/ImageComics. In June 2005 the imprint's third title, Creator/JMichaelStraczynski's ''Dream Police'', was launched, followed in September by ''The Book of Lost Souls'', also from Straczynski.

Not to be confused with the Creator/DCComics' character ComicBook/{{Icon}}. For other "adult" imprints from Marvel, see Creator/EpicComics (mainly creator-owned stand-alone works, like Icon but during the Eighties and Nineties) and Creator/MarvelMAX (mostly DarkerAndEdgier versions of Franchise/MarvelUniverse characters/titles).
