The Marvel Universe: Origin Stories by BRUCE WAGNER

Tracks the hallucinatory, transcendent, interconnected lives and deaths of an ensemble —an orphaned billionairess, a black man wrongly convicted of murder, a schizophrenic child obsessed with the comic book character Wolverine, a cancelled television showrunner, a hustler pretending to be the love child of Elon Musk, an aging standup comedienne - as they slouch toward 2020. For some of them, that pandemic year of tectonic social unrest will be their last; for others, a watershed allowing them to flourish in the new reality, one that surpasses any Hollywood tent-pole franchise's imaginings. It is truly the time of horror and chaos, yet of astonishing marvels...
