Among many other pop culture milestones, 2019 marks the 25th anniversary of Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross' Marvels. That series more than earned its venerable reputation, showing just what sorts of high-minded Marvel stories were possible even as the mainstream superhero industry was circling the drain in the mid-'90s. And it's safe to say Marvel readers had never seen anything like Ross' amazingly detailed, almost photo-realistic painted art. Marvels Epilogue #1 offers one last opportunity to revisit this world and photojournalist Phil Sheldon through the eyes of the original creative team. It's a welcome treat, albeit one that struggles to justify the high price of admission.
Marvels Epilogue is exactly what the name suggests - an epilogue to the original miniseries. This standalone short story picks up with Sheldon story in the late '70s Marvel era, with new heroes like the All-New, All-Different X-Men and Nova rising to prominence. Much of this story unfolds between the beats of an early Chris Claremont/Dave Cockrum installment of Uncanny X-Men, as Sheldon and his daughters attempt to enjoy Manhattan at Christmastime and walk right into the middle of a mutants vs. Sentinel conflict.
