Meet Mysterious New Marvel Villains And Heroes In The Marvels #1

Finally, David Bowie comes to the Marvel Universe!

For a second I thought I was looking at The Great Magini, from the old Spider-Woman cartoon...

I doubt it will be ongoing, likely will end up as 12 issue limited series. And something tells me all mentioned heroes will be in supporting roles if not forgotten after 6th issue, seems like another vehicleof giving more characters and concepts to Disney.

What does Marvel have against David Bowie?? He should be a Space-God Superhero, not some 2nd rate evil KISS-wannabe goth!? Lol.

Came to make the same joke, but you beat me to it!

That Kevin Schumer's backpack looks identical to the one Hank Pym wore in Avengers #93 when he traveled inside Vision. I can't imagine that's a coincidence.

These have an...interesting look.

Kind of a long-winded way to say "Anthology Series," but okay.
