Heroic Age

Marvel's Heroic Age (2010–present) is a single-issue comic that serves as a manifesto for a new era of optimism in the Marvel Universe, following the darker "Dark Reign" period. Illustrated by Olivier Coipel, this one-shot features Spider-Man and other heroes as it reasserts classic, hopeful superheroics. It matters as a tonal reset, signaling Marvel's return to a more traditional, heroic narrative approach.
