Marvel was pretty
smart to come out with this series. I think they had to have been
the first comic publisher to do anything like this. It's not so
much a comic as it is a magazine. This magazine tells the history
of the Marvel Universe, using panels from the actual comics and various
other illustrations.
Buying the back issues of the comics discussed in each issue of Marvel Saga can be both expensive and unnecessary. Marvel Saga recaps it nicely, and gives all the highlights. This series is ideal for anyone introducing themselves to Marvel Comics, or any longtime enthusiast that just wants to read a concise history.
