Marvel Epic Collection
(Redirected from Marvel Ultimate Collections and Complete Epics)
The 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] with Thor's 16th volume, War Of The Pantheons out in October.[5]
From those initial six releases, the Epic Collection now has more than 50 lines, including licensed books, such Alien, Star Wars, Micronauts and ROM - Spaceknight.
The rate of publication has increased since launch, with 29 Epic Collections released in 2014, the first full year of print. There were 45 in 2019, and 87 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".[6]
Epic Collections
[edit]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[7] until around 1998 and the launch of Marvel Knights.[8]
Aliens
[edit]In July 2020, Marvel Comics gained the rights to publish Alien and Predator in the wake of Fox's sale to Disney.[9] Since 2023, the company has been republishing comics originally produced by Dark Horse comics as part of the Epic Collection.

Avengers West Coast
[edit]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.[12]

Conan
[edit]From 2022, Marvel lost the license to publish new Conan comics. "The trademark for the name Conan and the names of Robert E. Howard's other principal characters, is maintained by Conan Properties International and licensed to Cabinet Entertainment. This company, or new owners, now wish to publish Conan comic books themselves. And so won't be renewing the Marvel Comics license."[15]
This led to the cancellation of the second King Conan Epic Collection. The license ended up with Titan Publishing.[16]

Generation X
[edit]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 Lobbell) 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."[20]

Master Of Kung Fu
[edit]The Master Of Kung Fu Epic 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."[31]
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.[32]

Namor The Sub-Mariner
[edit]As a character, Namor "traces so far back that the character was established before Marvel Comics even existed". His first comics appearance in 1939 "was included in Marvel Comics #1, the first publication by Timely Comics, the company that would evolve into Marvel Comics."[35]
None of Namor's Golden Age appearances have been collected in the Epic Collection, with Volume 1 consisting of Silver Age cameos in other books and his shared series in Tales to Astonish. His own series, Sub-Mariner, launched in 1968.

Other notable storylines include We Were Only Foolin, issue #45, which is collected in Vol. 4: Fallen Angels; and the elevation of Magneto to headmaster in issue #35, from Vol. 3: Asgardian Wars.[37]

Star Wars
[edit]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 Wars film and television series as canon. This means only Star Wars Modern Era Epic Collections are properly included in the official lore.[44]
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.”[45]
Outside of the Original Marvel Years books, many of Star Wars Epic Collection contains contents originally published by Dark Horse comics.

Modern Era Epic Collections
[edit]
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".[53] 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".[54]
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.[55]
Amazing Spider-Man
[edit]The first volume has been solicited with the same contents and page count as the previously released Amazing Spider-Man by J. Michael Straczynski Ultimate Collection from 2009.

Daredevil
[edit]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."[56]
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

Ultimate Epic Collections
[edit]On 10 October 2024, Marvel announced - via the Epic Marvel Podcast[62] - that the Ultimate Epic Collection would be separate from the main Epic Collection, with its own trade dress.
The first to be released is Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 1: Learning Curve in March 2025, with a different Ultimate book coming out in April, May and June. The series marks 25 years since the inception of Ultimate Marvel.
Ultimate Fantastic Four
[edit]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."[63]
The series ran for 60 issues.

Ultimate Spider-Man
[edit]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."[64]
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.”[65]
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
[edit]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."[66]
The series ran for 100 issues.

Ultimates
[edit]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."[67] 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".[68]
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.”[64]
