MARVEL MONSTERS (2005)

One of Marvel's fifth-week events from 2005 centred around the classic Marvel Monsters that would invade the pages of Strange Tales, Journey into Mystery, Amazing Adventures, Tales to Astonish and Tales of Suspense every month, before the age of heroes. While it was an okay event at best, the four one-shots finally established that those behemoths from outer space and other dimensions did actually inhabit the Marvel Universe!

The highlight is the Hulk's clash with Devil Dinosaur (a character who was first introduced in the 1970s), but we also found out what some of these creatures had been up to since their early '60 debuts, an untold tale of the time some of the Marvel U's more monstrous heroes gathered to fight them and, finally, the introduction of the Fin Fang Four!

The featured stories aren't connected and most issues also featured reprints of classic Marvel Monster tales.

The deal's done alright for them over the years, but now they want out... In recent weeks, the London-based chemical company has made a number of super-powered enemies whose origins tie directly into their own magickal activities. Now all of those new foes - from the UK-based Dark Ange l, Motormouth , Killpower and the Knights of Pendragon to the time-travelling Death's Head - are about to come after them all at once. And they're bringing the Avengers , X-Men and more! Mys-Tech are growing a perfect replica of the real planet Earth called the UnEarth.
