Marvel Premier Collection is a line of full-color paperbacks, produced by Marvel Comics, that was announced at the 2024 New York Comic Con.
Description
With a digest print run of 6 in × 9 in (150 mm × 230 mm), compared to a traditional 6+5⁄8 in × 10+1⁄4 in (170 mm × 260 mm) collected comic, the line was a response to 2024's DC Compact Comics launch. The DC version was "a hit with retailers and readers, and DC has been adding to their line at a brisk clip. Marvel Premier will have a higher price point at $14.99 but hopes to have a similar impact with readers."
Dan Buckley, President of Marvel Comics, said the collection "will be our go-to publishing line for any and all fans looking for a way into—or further into—the Marvel Universe. These titles will not be the only place to start of course, but they will be one of the best."
The first release will be Daredevil: Born Again on 4 February 2025, to tie into the Marvel Studios TV series, due for release one month later. The book will contain a new foreword from writer, Frank Miller, plus an afterward by actor Charlie Cox, who plays Matt Murdock in the Daredevil show.
Comics analyst, David Harper described the launch as "Don't call it Compact Comics!", though added: "The good thing is they're doing it, which is really the big win of it all."
It was soon confirmed that an X-Men book will be among the second wave of Premier Collection releases.
