Beyond!

Marvel’s 2008 one-shot Beyond! brings together a mismatched crew of heroes and villains—including the Wasp, Gravity, and the Hood—who are mysteriously transported to a distant planet by an unknown cosmic force. Written by Dwayne McDuffie with art by Scott Kolins, this single issue delivers a tight, action-packed survival story that plays like a classic Marvel team-up with a twist. It’s a sharp, self-contained adventure that showcases McDuffie’s knack for ensemble dynamics and character-driven conflict.
