Launching in June 2012 with the adaptation of CIVIL WAR, Marvel will release its most popular stories of all time as prose novels.

It all begins in CIVIL WAR, adapted by author Stuart Moore (Wolverine), with the story that irrevocably altered the Marvel Universe and redefined comic books for an entire generation. In the wake of a tragedy, Capitol Hill proposes the Superhuman Registration Act, requiring all costumed heroes to unmask themselves before the government. Divided, the nation’s greatest champions must each decide how to react — but will you side with Iron Man or Captain America? And just which heroes will pay the ultimate price?

“Releasing our most acclaimed graphic novels as prose fiction not only allows us to reach a different audience with these stories, but also gives us a chance to bring those readers back to the comics that started it all,” said David Gabriel, Senior Vice President of Sales, Marvel Entertainment. “CIVIL WAR is easily our best-selling graphic novel of the past decade and certainly one of the most influential in recent memory, so it was the perfect launch title for this new line. Not only will you get all the action that Mark Millar and Steve McNiven delivered in comic form but no fan will want to miss the new wrinkles we’ve added in this novel.”

Stay tuned to www.marvel.com for news on CIVIL WAR and the rest of Marvel’s upcoming prose novels.

Eddie Brock is back — and trying to be a hero. Now he just needs to prove it to Spider-Man. Thing is, he cuts a mean swath as Anti-Venom — that huge, hulking, monstrous persona with the sharp teeth and slathering tongue that scares the dickens out of criminals and civilians alike. So this new hero gig is going to be a tough sell. But as soon as Anti-Venom can convince Spidey they’re after the same bad guy — the split-personality crime lord Mr. Negative — they’ll have to figure out whether the second coming of the Wraith is a partner in their war on crime, or something more sinister.

Cover by JOE QUESADA
A new Venom for a new era! Flash Thompson is Spider-Man’s biggest fan. That hero worship inspired him to enlist in the Army, where he became a decorated veteran and war hero. And though he lost his legs, Flash never lost his dignity — or his desire to serve. Now, the government has offered him a chance to be a hero once again — to don the alien symbiote that grants its wearer powers similar to those of Spider-Man, but also puts them at risk of permanently bonding with the parasitic creature. Flash Thompson is Venom, the government’s most lethal special operative — sent into the hottest of hot zones against the worst enemies of the state. He’s fought tough foes before, but the toughest opponent he faces may just be himself. Collecting VENOM (2011) #1-5.

A savage alien race called the Horde has invaded Earth, enslaving its people and plundering its resources.

Now, a handful of brave volunteers make up Strikeforce: Morituri — an elite, experimental and highly effective fighting force against the depredations of the Horde. But the heat of every battle, the celebration of every victory and every quiet moment alone is tainted by the inescapable knowledge that — win or lose — their fate is sealed.

In September 1939, a new title hit newsstands and changed the comic-book world forever: MARVEL COMICS #1 had arrived! And this 64-page package wasn’t your typical assortment of super-powered, straight-laced do-gooders. This was something completely new. The Human Torch, the creation of Dr. Phineas Horton, was neither man nor hero. He was a fiery force of nature who shocked and unsettled mankind. The half-human/half-Atlantean Sub-Mariner ventured from his undersea kingdom not with a mind set on peace, but bent toward vengeance! They’re flanked by an eclectic set born out of the energy and imagination of the Golden Age — including the heroic Angel, robot invention Electro, hard-edged detective the Ferret, cowboy Masked Raider and jungle adventurer Ka-Zar. Painstakingly restored with a host of bonus material, this volume is a must for every comic reader’s library. Collecting MARVEL COMICS #1 and MARVEL MYSTERY COMICS #2-4.

Written by KATHRYN IMMONEN with CHRIS CLAREMONT
Penciled by PHIL NOTO with MARC SILVESTRI
Cover by OLIVIER COIPEL
For a loner, the mutant known as Wolverine sure has a lot of friends. Through the years, he’s been a member of countless teams and alliances, but some of his relationships have been more tender in nature. He’s had sidekicks of sorts in the likes of Kitty Pryde and X-23, and especially Jubilee. Finding a surrogate daughter in her, Wolverine has always tried to protect Jubilee from the dangerous life they lead. And now that she’s fallen victim to a vampire’s bite, she needs him more than ever — whether she likes it or not. As Jubilee spins out of control, Wolverine has dedicated himself to saving her humanity — but with her fate hanging in the balance, he may just have to kill a few people to stop her from doing the same. This time, protecting Jubilee may put them both in their graves! Collecting WOLVERINE AND JUBILEE #1-4 and UNCANNY X-MEN (1963) #244.

With his life on the line and innocent citizens in need of a hero, Matt Murdock will face his legacy as Daredevil and decide once and for all whether to be a hero, or else abandon his life as a crime-fighter and start anew.

As more people are transformed — including three of the X-Men — Spider-Man and the remaining mutants will have to battle foes on multiple fronts to survive the day and win their teammates back!
