I read the first issue of Dark Ages, by Tom Taylor (Injustice 2, All-New Wolverine) and Iban Coello (Justice League Beyond 2.0, Venom), and I instantly added it to my pull list! Read on to see why you should add it to your pull list too!

Uatu You Doing?

The Marvel Universe has gone through a lot recently, what with the King In Black, and a bunch of Frost Giants running around before that, not to mention Captain America becoming a Nazi and nearly taking over the world. Well if you thought that all of your favorite characters could relax, you were dead wrong! Some of the best and brightest of the Marvel Universe are present in this story, including a handful of Spider-people, the FF, the Avengers, and even some X-Men (I guess most of them are having sexy times back on Krakoa). I’m actually going to guess that this isn’t the 616, as some pretty Apocalyptic shit happens, but it is chaos for A Marvel Universe, if not the main one.

If you aren’t familiar with Tom Taylor, you should dig into his back catalog, it’s pretty fantastic, especially All-New Wolverine. He’s one of these modern writers who is super into what I call Marvel Nonsense, that fast-paced over-the-top style of writing that is the backbone of 80’s and 90’s Marvel. Couple this with a deep love and knowledge of these characters, and baby you’ve got a stew goin’! Coello spices up this gumbo with his own style of dynamic, action-packed art. This duo has brought us what looks to be a Classic Marvel story, albeit a short one.

I’m keeping this post short as well, since there’s not much I can say without spoiling everything, but go add this to your pull list today!
