Marvel is redefining accessibility with the launch of its Premier Collection, a sleek and compact 6 x 9 format designed to bring legendary storylines to both longtime fans and fresh audiences. Inspired by manga’s easy-to-handle size, these new editions fit neatly on bookshelves and introduce essential Marvel arcs at an affordable price point.
Priced at approximately $15 per volume, each book not only compiles a defining story but also includes exclusive bonus content—from original script pages to behind-the-scenes artwork. Marvel’s goal? To deliver more value, more style, and more ways to experience the best of its universe.
But that’s just the beginning. In 2025, the collection expands with three powerhouse releases: Civil War, Wolverine: Old Man Logan, and Hawkeye: Barton + Bishop. Each book revisits defining moments in Marvel’s storytelling history, offering a perfect entry point for new readers while celebrating fan-favorite narratives.
Defining Marvel’s Legacy: The Must-Read Stories
Each title in this collection captures the essence of Marvel’s most impactful storytelling. These are the books that shaped characters, divided teams, and changed the course of superhero history.
Civil War: A Battle of Ideals
Superheroes clash when the Superhuman Registration Act forces them to choose a side. Captain America and Iron Man, once allies, become the leaders of opposing factions. As former friends become enemies, the Marvel Universe fractures in ways that cannot be undone.
This edition collects the seven-issue event series, a saga of moral dilemmas, devastating battles, and political intrigue that still influences Marvel’s storytelling today. This is the ultimate superhero war, an essential read for those who crave action-packed narratives with high emotional stakes.
Wolverine: Old Man Logan—A Hero’s Last Stand
Imagine a world where villains won, carving up the United States into lawless territories. In this future, Logan has abandoned the Wolverine mantle, seeking only peace. However, when the Hulk Gang terrorizes his family, he embarks on one last, brutal mission.
Joined by a blind but deadly Hawkeye, Logan crosses treacherous landscapes in a desperate bid for redemption. This post-apocalyptic epic combines Western grit, road-movie chaos, and intense action, proving why Wolverine remains one of Marvel’s most enduring characters.
Hawkeye: Barton + Bishop—An Avenger’s Daily Struggles
Superhero stories often focus on world-ending threats, but this one thrives in the small moments. Clint Barton and Kate Bishop, two generations of Hawkeye, take on crime syndicates, digital conspiracies, and ridiculous track-suited thugs in this refreshingly human adventure.
Blending sharp wit, emotional depth, and groundbreaking visuals, this Eisner Award-winning series is as stylish as it is thrilling. Readers will get a closer look at the daily struggles of an Avenger, from botched heists to late-night pizza. This collection proves that superheroics aren’t always about saving the world—sometimes, they’re about surviving another day.
Marvel’s Bold New Vision
The Premier Collection is more than just a reprint series—it’s a gateway to the heart of Marvel storytelling. Designed to bridge generations of fans, these books offer modern accessibility without sacrificing the weight of their narratives.
Available starting August, September, and November, these editions promise to make Marvel’s greatest tales more engaging than ever. Whether you’re reliving these classics or discovering them for the first time, now is the perfect time to dive into the stories that shaped the Marvel Universe.
