Deadline

In 2002, Marvel launched Deadline, a four-issue miniseries that took a gritty, behind-the-scenes look at the Marvel Universe through the eyes of a tabloid journalist. Written primarily by Bill Rosemann and Ron Zimmerman, with moody, grounded artwork from Guy Davis and Greg Capullo, the series explored the messy intersection of superheroics and sensationalist media. It offered a street-level perspective on a world of gods and monsters, focusing on the human cost and ethical dilemmas of chasing a story. Though brief, Deadline remains a sharp, character-driven snapshot of Marvel's early 2000s publishing era, distinct for its journalistic angle.
