Epic

Marvel’s 1992 miniseries Epic is a four-issue sci-fi thriller from writers Mark Verheiden and Dan Chichester, with moody art by D’Israeli and William Simpson. Set in a near-future where a mysterious, all-powerful energy source called “Epic” has been discovered, the story follows a cast including Dr. Tachyon, reporter Matt Raines, and Colonel Carter Tiernan as they navigate the dangerous consequences of its exploitation. This compact, character-driven series stands out for its grounded, conspiracy-laced take on super-science, delivering a tense, self-contained narrative that feels like a lost 1990s Marvel edge.
