About this Collection

This third volume of Marvel's Epic anthology series collects a diverse range of short stories and serialized features from the early 1990s, showcasing the talents of various creators. The collection includes tales featuring characters like Dr. Tachyon, Jugger Grimrod, and Major Sarigar, among others, offering a snapshot of the experimental and creator-owned spirit that defined the Epic imprint.

In "Tough Enough," Colonel Tiernan’s hardline takeover of the Stalkers franchise takes a dangerous turn when he leads his team into a high-stakes hotel siege—only to find himself captured in the very situation he sought to control. Written by Mark Verheiden and brought to life with bold, textured art by D'Israeli, this gripping issue explores the cost of command and the thin line between leadership and recklessness. The cover, by Douglas Braithwaite, captures the tension with a stark, intense image of the moment the tide turns.
