1985

“An exquisite, inspiring throwback to a bygone era, without the predictable tedium of time travel, parody or satire. You can't go back home again, but you'll definitely enjoy it if you visit." —Adam Hughes

“I have seen the past. His name is Tommy Lee Edwards. And the next time I go back to 1985, THIS is how I'm going to plan it! Excellent!!" —Walter Simonson

"1985 is a wonderful collision between the real world and the Marvel Universe, a sweet, faithful recollection of something we all dreamed would happen when we were kids, and a gritty modern depiction of what would happen if it actually happened." —Paul Cornell

THE MARVEL UNIVERSE GETS FLESH AND BONES
In this long-awaited story, Mark Millar and Tommy Lee Edwards take you to a strange and exotic world: the year 1985. There, young Toby Goodman lives an ordinary life, filling his days with Marvel comics to escape from his mother and stepfather, and to get close to his lazy but well-intentioned father. Things seemed like they would continue like this indefinitely, until Toby stumbled upon an old house, inhabited by the criminals who terrorize the Marvel Universe. At first, no one believes what they claim to have seen, but that was before the bodies started showing up.
Marvel supervillains are exciting and fun when you read about them in a comic book, but what happens when Doctor Doom is standing in front of you, or Maul Man and his Molloids are attacking him? As the most dangerous criminals to ever grace the pages of comics invade our world with a mysterious and sinister plan, the entire city descends into chaos and disorder. Toby wants to understand how and why supercriminals made the leap from fantasy to reality, but first he must survive their attacks.
