Marvel Next was a short livedimprint that was launched by theAmerican comics publisherMarvel Comics in early2005. Marvel's press release stated that Marvel Next was "not a new line or imprint" but rather "a collection of titles" intended to "spotlight young characters."[1][2] Like theTsunami imprint before it, it aimed to attract young readers. Marvel Next titles carried a "Marvel Next" tag on the cover, but not always in the typical imprint location near the regular Marvel logo. The title may have been an attempt to appeal to or identify withGeneration Next.
The titles were set in theMarvel Universe and most of them (Araña: The Heart of the Spider,Young Avengers,Runaways andAmazing Fantasy) had connections to pre-existing titles, taking advantage of settings, characters and events from previous stories.
While the Marvel Next press release includedYoung Avengers andRunaways among the forthcoming Marvel Next books, neither series ever carried the Marvel Next logo. Of the series that did carry it, onlyX-23 andAraña Heart of the Spider displayed it for their entire runs. The logo was used from March 2005 through February 2006, exactly matching the run ofAraña, imprint's longest lasting series.[3]
