The original Marvel Knights stuff was great. There was a cool magazine size reprint book that had 3-4 issues in it. It was cool to see the art blown up like that. Sadly the imprint became first a victim of "more, we need more" and then once the Ultimate Universe came to be it was basically forgotten about. It's funny, when Joe Q came to Marvel I was really excited......then he stayed way too long. I wanted him as far a way from the characters as possible.

Once again, Owen does something that we don't get enough of, thanks for this exploration of the stories and the background behind this line (Honestly I completely forgot about Event Comics) . Let's be real, I don't know where Marvel would be now without the success of MK, especially with stories like Ennis Punisher, Gaiman's 1602 or Smith's Daredevil. This books mean so much to so many people including myself, I missed those days. Again, great video, keep the machine going 👏🏻

@omegaminoseer4539 Жыл бұрын
I feel like Daredevil and especially Christopher Priest's Black Panther carried that imprint. It agonizes to see that the edge in Black Panther was shaved off, while Coates and Hudlin abused the framework-built brick-by-brick by Priest. While I never knew about all of Marvel Knights until I was in high school, I can cite Black Panther and The Crew almost issue-by-issue because I'd read them backwards and forwards. Guardian Devil became one of my favorite comics, ever, when I was finally able to read it. That darkness and willingness to consume the negativity of being human was a common throughline for the text. Yet, seeing these street-level superheroes ascend to godhood in their unconquered spirit made ME try harder, as I emulated their example.

The Marvel Knights run helped bring Marvel Comics from the brink of Bankruptcy while also set up stories such as Spider-Man Blue, the MAX series, Hulk Grey by Jeff Loeb, and the current runs in Marvel Comics today. The dark nature of Marvel Knight redefined story telling because it brought a new era with a new generation of comic writers such as Brian Michael Bendis, Jeff Loeb, Jason Aaron, and Jonathan Hickman.
