Prepare yourselves, Marvel fans, because The End is coming for Captain America, Spider-Man, Venom, Deadpool, Captain Marvel, and Doctor Strange. But comic readers won’t have to wait years to see them–or be forced to go without them after their final stories are told
The news of this coming"End" was delivered during Marvel’s retailers panel at New York Comic Con, along with the first tease of the special series and the talent assembled for it. While a range of The End one-shots will deliver the final stories for these Marvel heroes, they will be offering them out of continuity, allowing fans to have their cake and eat it, too. The talents bringing these stories to a close are varied, promising more differences than an overarching tone or approach (which may actually be the wisest way to go, given the differences in the heroes themselves). It’s sure to be a buffet of poetic conclusions, and from the sound of it, they won’t be pulling punches. Those interested readers can get a glimpse of the synopses, cover art, and solicitation details for every The End one-shot below.
