Marvel Boy

3.6/5 ( ratings)

"I'll fix the planet. My way!" - Noh-Varr

You know him as the defiant kid with the bad attitude from New Avengers: Illuminati and Secret Invasion - but before that, he was the sole survivor of an elite Kree force. A refugee of the super-spectrum, home to ten billion parallel realities, Noh-Varr fought side-by-side with his Kree compatriots with vigor and honor belying his young age. An understudy of the honorable Captain Glory, Noh-Varr and his shipmates - including his lover, Merree - survived against all odds in their death-defying mission. They survived, that is, until their space-and-time-hopping warship crash-landed in the middle of the Marvel Universe - then it was goodbye to life as he knew it and "Hello, cruel world!"

Now a prisoner of the despicable Doctor Midas, who lusts after a prize element of Noh-Varr's considerable power, the young Kree warrior dubbed "Marvel Boy" by the citizens of his newly adopted environs has only one goal while suck on planet Earth: revenge. To get it, he'll have to take on the Hexus Corporation, a living business entity that voraciously feeds on the planet's energy force; the Bannermen, a cadre of elite United Nations soldiers; and Oubliette - the Exterminatrix, a daughter of Midas - bent on doing daddy's business, and doing it as violently as possible.

In Marvel Boy, writer Grant Morrison digs deep in the firmament of Marvel mythology to tell the story of a boy and his spaceship in wickedly sophisticated ways, while the action tableaus of artist J.G. Jones bristle with a crackling energy the equal of any Hollywood blockbuster.
