Marvel Joins The Compact Digest Game
Marvel is going big on a smaller size – tonight ahead of NYCC they announced the launch of the MARVEL PREMIER COLLECTION, a reader-friendly sized line of reprints of Marvel’s greatest hits.
Like DC’s Compact Comics – which have been a smash hit with retailers and readers – the Premier Collection will be in the 6"x9" format.
… The Premier Collection will launch in February 2025, with stories featuring Daredevil, Black Panther, Captain America, and Fantastic Four.
I had a hunch that the blow away success of the Compact Comics line from DC would lead to this. That said, the initial grouping is somewhat surprising – no X-Men? No Spider-Man, Peter or Miles? Odd.
That said, I now have an easy direction to send people in when they ask me where to start with comics.
