WARHAMMER 40K: MARNEUS CALGAR #1, available Wednesday from Marvel Comics, dives headfirst in the lore of Warhammer 40K, featuring a famous hero in the process. It is time to hear of Marneus Calgar, his past, and his present.

Warhammer 40K, from Games Workshop, has teamed up with Marvel Comics in order to bring the lore of the games (and countless novels, for that matter) back into the world of comics. It’s a match made to be for more than one reason.

This new series takes a focus on Marneus Calgar, Chapter Master of the Ultramarines. It really isn’t surprising that Space Marines have taken the forefront here, but it will prove to be a story ideal for longstanding fans while welcoming in those newer to the universe and its lore.

What is particularly eye-catching about this new series is the creative team that has been pulled into the project. Kieron Gillen (writer), Jacen Burrows (artist), Java Tartaglia (colorist), and VC’s Clayton Cowles (letterer) have all been brought together for this unique experience.
