Marvel Comics 2

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Earth-982: An Alternate Timeline Marvel Universe where everyone (well, almost everyone) has had Spin Offspring and following the retirements, deaths, disappearances and disbandings of their parents/mentors/favorite super-teams, the kids have taken up the torch.

It's also Lighter and Softer, being one of Marvel's 'Verses aimed at kids. With the exception of Spider-Girl, all of these series have been canceled, though the characters keep showing up in Spider-Girl and new miniseries have been coming out for the last few years.

After getting its start as a What If...?, the 'verse has expanded to include the following series and miniseries:

  • Spider-Girl, the little book that started it all. Started with an issue #0 (though this was basically a reprint of the original What If). Lasted for 100 regular issues, from October, 1998 to September, 2006.
    • Amazing Spider-Girl (volume two). Started with an issue #0. Lasted for 30 regular issues, from December, 2006 to May, 2009.

  • Last Hero Standing. A Crisis Crossover for this line. A number of well-known superheroes, both retired and active ones, disappear without a trace. The superhero community is concerned but there is no singular suspect. As everyone reacts in their own way, some of the missing heroes return. But acting as villains and attacking fellow heroes. Who is pulling everyone's strings remains a mystery for a while, until the shocking revelation: Loki seeking to end the Avengers and the "Age of Heroes", rectifying his role in accidentally starting it. Published as a 5-issue mini-series (August, 2005).
  • Last Planet Standing. A second Crisis Crossover. Galactus has decided to evolve himself to a new level and now requires more energy than usual.
