INTRODUCING “MARVEL TL;DR”
New weekly animated video series breaks down and summarizes
some of Marvel’s most popular stories
New York, NY—November 11, 2016— Beginning today, Marvel will present fans an all-new weekly online video series devoted to offering fans quick downloads of some of Marvel’s greatest titles, events, and stories. MARVEL TL;DR is for the fan who hasn’t gotten the chance to dive into some of Marvel’s most epic collections, but is looking to remain current and up-to-date with the Marvel Universe.
Originally conceptualized by former Marvel intern, and current MARVEL TL;DR Writer/Director, Noah Sterling, each week Noah offers up an easily digestible summation of Marvel’s best tales.
“MARVEL TL;DR has been a long-time passion project that I started over a year ago as an intern at Marvel,” said Sterling. “Marvel stories and characters have always been a tremendous part of my life that has inspired my career as an artist and filmmaker. During my internship, I produced a short animated fan-video that provided a comedic explanation of the Infinity Gauntlet. This short caught the eye of Marvel’s Digital Media Group and they worked with me to develop this concept into a fully-realized web-series. Each episode is a love-letter to my favorite stories, and finally sharing it with millions of Marvel fans is a dream come true. My hope is that the series will introduce fans to new stories, and provide a jumping-off point for them to explore the vast Marvel catalog.”
Today, MARVEL TL;DR kicks-off with a summary of Marvel Comics’ Planet Hulk.
What the first episode of MARVEL TL;DR now!
Currently planned for 10 weekly episodes released every Friday, MARVEL TL;DR will recap Marvel Comics’ Civil War, Doctor Strange: The Oath, The Winter Soldier, Thor: Ragnarok, and more! So tune every week as MARVEL TL;DR speeds you through some of the biggest stories and events from the Marvel Universe faster than Quicksilver, Speed, and Whizzer racing around the globe.

MONSTERS UNLEASHED Lets Loose Four New Tie-Ins!
Four New Oversized One-Shots For February!
New York, NY—November 8th, 2016 — As skyscraper-sized behemoths rampage across the Marvel Universe – it’s all hands on deck as heroes from across the globe mobilize to combat endless monster hordes! Cullen Bunn and five superstar artists are poised to bring you a blockbuster epic that has to be seen to be believed beginning in MONSTERS UNLEASHED #1. With action so big, it’s spilling out into the rest of the Marvel Universe! Today, Marvel is pleased to announce the next four Monsters Unleashed tie-in one-shots for the month of February – DOCTOR STRANGE #1.MU, CHAMPIONS #1.MU, UNCANNY INHUMANS #1.MU and ALL-NEW X-MEN #1.MU!
First up, it’s massive monster mayhem in DOCTOR STRANGE #1.MU. The good doctor would have a hard time taking down these monsters at peak strength – how do you think he’ll do now that his magic has been diminished? Next, Marvel’s newest teen team supreme goes head-to-head with giant monsters in CHAMPIONS #1.MU. As they crash headlong into their first big conflict, will they find they’re in over their heads? Then, she’s the best there is at what she does – but what she does ISN’T fighting giant monsters. As the X-Men head to New Orleans in ALL-NEW X-MEN #1.MU, what they uncover deep in the bayou could help turn the tide before it’s too late! Finally, Crystal and her crew head to Italy for an epic throw down in UNCANNY INHUMANS #1.MU. They’ll have a hard enough time shutting down one monster, but when two make landfall in Rome – Crystal and her crew of Inhumans will have to dig deep if they want to save the city and everyone in it!
These four blockbuster titles join January’s Spider-Man/Deadpool #1.MU and Avengers #1.MU! Something big is coming to the Marvel Universe, True Believers. You won’t want to miss a moment of the monster madness when DOCTOR STRANGE #1.MU, CHAMPIONS #1.MU, UNCANNY INHUMANS #1.MU and ALL-NEW X-MEN #1.MU come to comic shops and digital devices everywhere throughout the month of February!
