Marvel Universe

In 2012, Panini France launched this eight-issue series that packaged cosmic-scale Marvel stories for a European audience, pairing the talents of writers like Thomas Davier, Jim Starlin, and John Layman with artists such as Ron Lim and Al Barrionuevo. The series draws heavily on the epic, star-spanning conflicts of the Marvel Universe, with Thanos and Galactus looming large alongside Earth-bound heroes like Spider-Man, Thor, and Logan. It matters as a curated snapshot of the early 2010s Marvel landscape, offering French readers a focused dose of high-stakes adventure from some of the era's most distinctive storytellers.
