After all, the nature of the event means you can get a jump on what Marvel will be laying out in terms of big stories for the summer.

Form the looks of it too, Marvel will be attempting to put its best foot forward with its showing, with a collection of 4 books. These are meant to run the gamut, appealing to several different kinds of fans, though all do feature some of the company’s biggest names.
