What They’re Saying:
- Editor Mark Paniccia: "You might find this one of the strangest assemblies in comics but pitting Bullseye against three characters who could punt him into the sun is one of the coolest hooks ever. Marvel Gold is about assembling the best talent to celebrate these characters with big swings, great stories, and a fresh spotlight that reminds readers why they’ve endured for decades."
- Writer Stephanie Phillips: “It was such an exciting opportunity to write a story that celebrates these characters and their legacies, which have helped shape not just comics, but pop culture as a whole. I can't wait for readers to dig into this action-packed story and see the incredible artwork from Madibek Musabekov!”
