New Universe
Recommended Reading Order
|
From 1986 to 1989, in honor of Marvel Comics’ 25th anniversary, Editor-In-Chief Jim Shooter launched the New Universe line of comics; a distinctly separate world, fully divorced from the mainstream continuity of the Marvel Universe, consisting of its own continuing characters and stories in a more realistic setting; including having no aliens, hidden races, gods, mythological beings, magic or super-technology. Superhuman abilities would be limited and thus more subdued in their activities, yet their actions would have more realistic consequences. Adding to the sense of realism, the New Universe titles were designed to operate in “real-time”; roughly a year would lapse in the universe for each year that passed in reality. The New Universe was the first line produced by Marvel Comics utilizing a pre-conceived shared universe concept.
