The saga of WARHAMMER 40,000 comes to Marvel Comics! In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war. Marneus Calgar, the legendary Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, leads his elite Space Marines against humanity’s greatest threats in a galaxy engulfed in endless war. Writer Kieron Gillen (UNCANNY X-MEN, JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY, The Wicked + The Divine) spearheads a new publishing initiative with Marneus Calgar’s never-before-told origin story — from his beginnings on Nova Thulium and his campaigns in the Black Crusades, to the unfolding mystery of the Black Altar, as a deadly threat from Calgar’s past re-emerges to threaten the present of the Ultramar system! It’s essential reading for 40K afficionados — and the perfect primer for those new to the universe of WARHAMMER 40,000! Be prepared!

A great intro to Warhammer 40K and a solid story for those who are already fans!

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book was a lot of fun to read. The story is entertaining and the art is great. This will please established fans of 40k as well as serve as an excellent introduction to newcomers looking to learn about this Warhammer thing they keep hearing about.

This is for mature readers! For those who are already initiated, you find lots of the violent deaths that you would come to expect from 40K. For the unfamiliar, know this: "In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war."

Cool a** comic book

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

I'm not a comic or super hero guy by any means, but I thoroughly enjoy WH40K, and bought this on a whim to add to my collection of 40K stuff.

Its cost seems on par with other bound compendium I've seen, it contains 5 newsstand size comics bound in one softcover.

The art quality in my opinion is good, illustrating the violence if 40K battles, with the cool setting and aesthetic of Space Marines, Mechanicus, and Chaos.

The story though, may leave a bad taste in Calgar fans mouths. You'll know exactly what I mean.

Still, I enjoyed it, whether it's Canon or not.

I’m not an ultramarines fan but this was very fun to read. The artwork is excellent. Looking forward to more like this from GW.

Marvel and 40k don't mix

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2021

Verified Purchase

I like the back story of marneus but the story seemed I don't know PG 13, I guess. It reminded me of those old batman movies with the "pow" and "smash" split screens. Not much dialog but lots of bolter porn. Give it 3 stars.

Marneus Calgar's origin story, action packed tale in flashbacks while fighting an incursion of heretics. Good art, solid mayhem. Good stuff.

An introduction to grim dark of Warhammer 40k

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 27, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book has the origins story of one of the Ultra marines commander Marneus Calgar aimed as an easy enough to pick up and read with explainatory notes for new readers drawn on some pages. An amusing introduction story, art style not to my taste but a fun enough read.

Thomas Scullion

Captured the essence of 40K like it always belonged in comics!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 1, 2021

Verified Purchase

I felt that this story was rightfully told by Marcel, truly entertaining and well crafted. Any 40K fan will enjoy this however, any die hard Ultramarine and Imperium players will love it!

In Throne’s name this is a good one!

Grimm dark gone

Reviewed in Germany on December 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

The Grimm dark is vanished out of the comics. It's all bright and shiny.
The drawing craftsmanship is there but the scenery and the protagonists are done boring.
The story was at one point suprising when the story explained you who callgar is and why it is unnecessary to know. But the rest was some kind of boredom.
At all this marvel Version of 40K is just so mainstream and so boring. The Warhammer Monthly comics had much more of the 40K feel like I personally think about it.
What started with Boom Comics and is now in Marvel isn't much what I think 40K should be.

Toller Comic mit wunderbaren Illustrationen

Reviewed in Germany on July 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

Da die einzelnen Comics zeitweise schwer zu bekommen waren, habe ich mich für den Sammelband entschieden.

Man erfahrt mehr über die Vergangenheit von Marneus Calgar, indem zwischen Gegenwart und Erinnerung des Protagonisten (welcher, wie sollte es anders sein, Calgar selbst ist) gewechselt wird.

Durch die hochklassigen Illustrationen und Nebencharaktere im typischen Warhammerstil bietet der Sammelband für den Warhammerfan nicht bloß spannende,
Aber trotzdem leichte Unterhaltung für zwischendurch, sondern auch Inspiration für neue Mal- / Armeebauprojekte auf dem Spieltisch. Klare Kaufempfehlung von mir.

sans grand intérêt.

comics sur marneus calgar, histoire simpliste des réminiscences d'un héros.
attention uniquement en anglais.
Le dessin se situe sur un niveau moyen mais dans la ligne des futures animations GW.
la COLORATION est immonde, beaucoup trop coloré pour un monde aussi sombre.
bref un article pour la collection mais surtout pas pour rentrer dans l'univers, il y a tellement de bons romans black library pour s'immerger dans ce futur sombre.
enfin je ne parlerais pas de l'envoi : un mot CATASTROPHIQUE;
