ALL-NEW SCI-FI STORY!
In celebration of Marvel's 80th anniversary and the comic books that captivated hearts and minds across generations, join us for two scintillating sci-fi stories - the first an extraterrestrial adventure by Cullen Bunn the likes of which haven't been seen in this or any other decade, and the second a tale of terror by Clay McLeod Chapman that could take place in your very own back yard!

Rated T+
While technological innovations might not be the impetus of either story in the book, its tone honors a specific vibe of books like Strange Tales and Adventures into Weird Worlds, breathing life into a classic comic book genre. Read Full Review
Overall, I love that this issue kept to the idea of the Unknown Worlds part of the books name and it delivered two stories centred on alien lifeforms from other worlds. Marvel is doing something really special by bringing this book back and allowing us to revel in that old school comic nostalgia with stories that felt plucked from the heyday of science fiction and aliens.

Marvel's Atlas Comics anthology revivals continue to show promise with Journey Into Unknown Worlds. As with the straight-ahead horror revival Crypt of Shadows from earlier this month, more than one story fits the same theme without feeling repetitious. Read Full Review
If you've ever enjoyed classic Marvel Comics horror, the weird, or singular stories in the comic format you will love this. This is great horror. Read Full Review
JOURNEY INTO UNKNOWN WORLDS #1 continues Marvel's 80th anniversary celebration with two more stories celebrating the company's horror and sci-fi comic legacy. The stories are genuinely creepy, and super-fun. Definitely pick it up. Read Full Review
Journey Into Unknown Worlds is a great throwback to the kinds of scary stories that Marvel did back in the day. It shows that the publisher still has some horror chops. I'd love to see this become a more regular tradition, even if it was just a yearly anthology. Read Full Review
The crazy Sci-fi vibe is definitely worth the journey, but mind the gap between the first and second story. Read Full Review
I think my truly favorite part of the issue was the backmatter as it gave a quick, succinct history of Marvel’s foray into Science-Fiction and how this history molded what Marvel would become. Fun addition! Read Full Review
Just not enough there to justify this book unless you're super into this kind of sci-fi/horror-ish stuff. Read Full Review
Despite the excellent talent and wicked legacy of these stories, the lack of depth and lasting hooks ultimately makes it all feel a bit inconsequential. Read Full Review
This was good. Just another throwback to the old Science Fiction anthologies. If you're expecting something grand from these, you really shouldn't.
There were some neat ideas here but, as with most anthologies, they were not given the chance to flourish. That first one almost had me, with all the cool body horror, but then no.
