Winner of the 2022 Eisner Award for Best Comics-Related Book The first-ever full reckoning with Marvel Comics’ interconnected, half-million-page story, a revelatory guide to the “epic of epics”—and to the past sixty years of American culture—from a beloved authority on the subject who read all 27,000+ Marvel superhero comics and lived to tell the tale “Brilliant, eccentric, moving and wholly wonderful. . . . Wolk proves to be the perfect guide for this type of adventure: nimble, learned, funny and sincere. . . . All of the Marvels is magnificently marvelous. Wolk’s work will invite many more alliterative superlatives. It deserves them all.” —Junot Díaz, New York Times Book Review The superhero comic books that Marvel Comics has published since 1961 are, as Douglas Wolk notes, the longest continuous, self-contained work of fiction ever created: over half a million pages to date, and still growing. The Marvel story is a gigantic mountain smack in the middle of contemporary culture. Thousands of writers and artists have contributed to it. Everyone recognizes its protagonists: Spider-Man, the Avengers, the X-Men. Eighteen of the hundred highest-grossing movies of all time are based on parts of it. Yet not even the people telling the story have read the whole thing—nobody’s supposed to. So, of course, that’s what Wolk did: he read all 27,000+ comics that make up the Marvel Universe thus far, from Alpha Flight to Omega the Unknown. And then he made sense of it—seeing into the ever-expanding story, in its parts and as a whole, and seeing through it, as a prism through which to view the landscape of American culture. In Wolk’s hands, the mammoth Marvel narrative becomes a fun-house-mirror history of the past sixty years, from the atomic night terrors of the Cold War to the technocracy and political division of the present day—a boisterous, tragicomic, magnificently filigreed epic about power and ethics, set in a world transformed by wonders. As a work of cultural exegesis, this is sneakily significant, even a landmark; it’s also ludicrously fun. Wolk sees fascinating patterns—the rise and fall of particular cultural aspirations, and of the storytelling modes that conveyed them. He observes the Marvel story’s progressive visions and its painful stereotypes, its patches of woeful hackwork and stretches of luminous creativity, and the way it all feeds into a potent cosmology that echoes our deepest hopes and fears. This is a huge treat for Marvel fans, but it’s also a revelation for readers who don’t know Doctor Strange from Doctor Doom. Here, truly, are all of the marvels.

A superpowered sequel to Matthew Cody's popular debut novel, Powerless! Daniel Corrigan is as regular as can be, especially when compared to the Supers: kids in his new hometown with actual powers like flight and super-strength. But Daniel's not powerless. Only he was able to stop the Shroud, a supervillain bent on stealing his newfound friends' powers. And thanks to him, his friends got to keep those powers. Now Daniel himself is starting to display powers, while at the same time his friends are losing theirs. His friend Eric thinks Daniel is just becoming a Super himself, a late-blooming one. But Daniel worries there may be something more sinister at work, since his power-stealing ability is uncomfortably like the Shroud's. Of course, the Shroud is gone now . . . isn't he? Or could Daniel himself be his new vessel? From the Hardcover edition.
By Grant Morrison
Sixteen million mutants dead... and that was just the beginning! In one bold stroke, writer Grant Morrison (The Invisibles, JLA, Fantastic Four: 1234) propelled the X-Men into the 21st century - masterminding a challenging new direction for Marvel's mutant heroes that began with the destruction of Genosha and never let up. Regarded as the most innovative thinker of the current comic-book renaissance, Morrison proceeded to turn the mutant-hero genre on its ear. Gone were the gaudy spandex costumes - replaced by slick, black leather and an attitude to match.

Meet Jessica Jones. Once, she was a rising star in the world of super-hero adventurers. She had it all: the superhuman powers, the spandex costume, even an offer of membership in the legendary Avengers. Everything seemed perfect, until a clash against a sadistic criminal turned her dream of a hero's life into a brutal nightmare. Years later, Jones is the chain-smoking, hard-drinking owner of Alias Investigations. Her firm specializes in cases no normal private eye will touch, those requiring an intimate knowledge of the super-hero world. Cases that take Jones deep into the dark underbelly of the Marvel Universe - where former super heroes become helpless pawns of drug pushers, and teenage mutants mysteriously vanish from their small-town homes. As Jones fights to redeem other heroes fallen from grace, can she finally close the book on her own demons? Alias was the inaugural title in Marvel Comics' uncompromising MAX imprint, featuring stories aimed squarely at adult comic-book readers. This volume collects the complete 28-issue series by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos, plus the one-shot What If Jessica Jones Had Joined the Avengers? - enhanced by a bounty of all-new, behind-the-scenes bonus material. Nominated for the prestigious Eisner Award, and the recipient of numerous other awards and critical accolades, Alias is a modern milestone in Marvel Comics history.
