Today, Marvel Comics tries their hand at just that – to tell a coherent history of the Marvel Universe via the six-part miniseries called, appropriately enough, History of the Marvel Universe. Regardless, it’s fascinating stuff to try to make heads and tails of so many stories that have been built out into the comic book zeitgeist over the better part of a century. And ever-frustrating for continuity obsessed readers.

Oh man, who doesn’t love the straightening of twisting and turning comic book continuity – something that the History of the Marvel Universe series intends to do?Įight decades of story for a bunch of world-famous (and not-so-world-famous) characters that wear masks, capes or gauntlets and that tend not to age.Īnd then don’t.
