Cap meets Bucky! The origin of the Destroyer! The interrogation of the Sub-Mariner! And it's all leading up to the Nazis' conspiracy to bring the US into World War Two! Rated T
The Marvels Project might not be the toast of comic book fandom in this current event-dominated climate, but it's more than likely to go down, not only as the definitive origin of the Marvel Universe, but as one of Brubaker and Eptings strongest collaborations.

And just let me say that Steve Epting is doing the best work of his career. This is a beautiful book. From the settings, to the design, to the action sequences, to the expressions and body language, this is just gorgeous. And Dave Stewart's colors help to bring it all to life. Even when we move from the grays, greens, and browns of everyday life to the brilliant reds, whites, and blues of the costumed heroes, it all works. Those colors leap off the page in a way that makes even the more outrageous costumes seem believable. Read Full Review
"The Marvels Project" has been an interesting ride, and I'm sorry to see it almost at an end. If you've read and enjoyed "Captain America," you really should be reading this series too. While there is some oddness to the nature of it being a prequel to a large historical event (to say nothing of the reminder that in the Marvel Universe there are Atlantean warriors running around with Nazi regalia on), on the whole it's a nice addition to your bookshelf.

The pacing is absolutely wonderful. Brubaker’s writing of the narrator, Thomas Halloway, rivals that of Busiek’s writing of Phil Sheldon
