Giant-Size Little Marvels #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeGiant-Size Little Marvels #1 (June 2024) marks the first time that Skottie Young and Dax Gordine's chibi-style 'Little Marvels' Infinity Comic stories — originally created as digital-only vertical comics exclusive to Marvel Unlimited in 2021 — reached a physical print audience, making it a genuine format milestone for the medium's evolving digital-to-print pipeline. The issue is also a capstone celebration of the decade-plus tradition of Young's pint-sized Marvel characters, a visual vernacular that began with variant covers around 2012 and grew into its own storytelling brand encompassing the X-Men, Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and many more. It sits within Marvel's deliberate 2024 revival of the Giant-Size one-shot format — echoing the storied 1970s anthology tradition — as a showcase for all-ages comedy storytelling that spans virtually the entire Marvel character roster. As a collected print edition of a well-received digital run, it demonstrates how the Infinity Comics format can serve as a creative incubator for stories that ultimately earn a permanent physical life on the shelf.

The content collected here originated as the Giant-Size Little Marvels: Infinity Comic (2021), an eight-issue digital series written by Skottie Young and drawn by Dax Gordine that launched on September 9, 2021, as part of Marvel Unlimited's high-profile app relaunch and its new line of exclusive vertical-format 'Infinity Comics.' The creative team — with coloring by Jean-François Beaulieu and lettering by Nate Piekos, edited by Stephen Wacker — produced weekly short-form stories in a Webtoon-style vertical format, starring chibi versions of Iron Man, Captain America, Doctor Doom, Rocket Raccoon, and the wider Marvel Universe. Marvel timed the 2024 print debut to coincide with a broader June 2024 celebration of Young's career, packaging the collected digital stories into a 48-page full-color one-shot that also tied in with 27 new 'Skottie Young's Big Marvel' variant covers across the line and a commemorative poster — all marking roughly ten-plus years since Young's baby-character variant covers became a fixture on Marvel's biggest launches.
