About this title

Review:

"Stern's Marvel Universe book was really great, though the Invaders story pales in comparison to the Monster Hunters arc." -- Nick Ahlhelm, everydayislikewednesday.blogspot.com

"Marvel Universe was a great idea that got cut short: an anthology featuring stories and characters all set before Fantastic Four #1. So much potential and it was canceled after two stories:

"Invaders: Marvel's WW2 hero team fights Nazis, sees the birth of Hydra.

"Monster Hunters: Giant monsters from the 1950's go on a rampage, so a rag-tag group consisting of an immortal big game hunter, a minor mystic, a jungle girl and a government agent band together to stop them.

"These were just fun adventure stories that read like an old-fashioned cliffhanger serial." -- Travis, goodreads.com

"The best attribute in Roger Stern's work is his heart. His stories tend to be rooted in the decency of heroes - his heroes have HEART, as it were." -- Brian Cronin
