SMASH PAGES on Tumblr

Marvels Snapshots, the line of one-shots curated by Marvels writer Kurt Busiek, returns this week with a new Captain Marvel story by Mark Waid, Colleen Doran, Claire Roe and Mike Spicer. These have almost all been excellent, and who can argue with such a stellar creative team?

“There’s a lot to be excited for this week — the first of which is the continuation of Marvels Snapshots, which I would be perfectly happy with them just continuing on forever. The creative teams have been top notch, and they delve into the rich timeline of the Marvel Universe to tell more modern stories, something I’ve been wishing for since I was a kid.” -- Shane Bailey on the release of Marvels Snapshots: Spider-Man by Howard Chaykin and Jesus Aburtov.

The previous Marvels Snapshots comics have been excellent and were very well-received by the Smash Page crew. These are one-shots in the vein of the popular and influential miniseries Marvels by Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross, and Busiek has actually been curating these single issue stories. This one features the writing of former editor/current X-Men podcaster Jay Edidin, with art by Tom Reilly and Chris O’Halloran, and it spotlights the foundation of any good X-Men team, Cyclops.
