TAKING ITS NAME FROM ITS former interview magazine, Marvel Age #1000 encapsulates the past eight and a half decades of the House of Ideas in one oversized issue. Following on from last year's Amazing Fantasy Spidey spectacular, the 96-page one-shot sees a host of top talent, including Jason Aaron, J Michael Straczynski, Rainbow Rowell, Steve McNiven and Ryan Stegman turning their hand to classic characters such as the Silver Surfer, Mephisto, Spider-Man, Cyclops and Jean Grey.
"The guiding principle of Marvel Age #1000 is to celebrate and showcase the essence of what makes Marvel special and distinctive," editor Tom Brevoort tells Red Alert. "So I told everybody involved that I wanted them to produce stories that would be remembered by people after the book had been finished. I wasn't looking for fight scenes necessarily although action is a big part of the Marvel formula. Really, I wanted stories that showcased our characters as human beings with relatable problems and difficulties, and pretty much all of the creators came through with that promise. I'm really happy with how the book turned out, as it both looks and reads great."
