Marvel Premier Collection is a line of full-color compact paperbacks, produced by Marvel Comics. They collecting various popular comic book series or storylines meant to be an easy introduction for readers to the Marvel Universe. The line was announced at the 2024 New York Comic Con, with the first collections released in February 2025. There have been thirteen collections released, with at least six more planned.
Description With a digest print run of , compared to a traditional collected comic, the line was a response to 2024's DC Compact Comics launch. The DC version was "a hit with retailers and readers. Marvel Premier will have a higher price point at $14.99 but hopes to have a similar impact with readers." Marvel Comics announced the line at the 2024 New York Comic Con with four initial titles, with plans for X-Men comics to be included in the line after its initial wave.
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."
One of the first two releases was Daredevil: Born Again on February 4, 2025, to coincide with the release of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) television series, Daredevil: Born Again, exactly one month later. The book contained a new introduction from writer Frank Miller and foreword by actor Charlie Cox, who plays Matt Murdock / Daredevil in the MCU.
Comics analyst David Harper described the launch by saying: "The good thing is they're doing it, which is really the big win of it all."
