The Official Marvel Atlas

I told you this is why I love this blog: I come across stuff on a fairly regular basis that I would otherwise not have known of or completely missed on my own. This one, in particular, is right up my alley and I subscribe to all things similar, so I don't know how this one managed to escape my radar, but it did (until now). I am placing my order(s) today - tried to yesterday in fact, but was having technical issues. This is an official Marvel press release:

It's the time of year when everyone wants to go on vacation—and what better place than the Marvel Universe? In the double-sized Marvel Atlas #1 (of 2), Marvel's first-ever official atlas, your favorite MU locations are in the spotlight! The splendor of Dr. Doom's Latveria! The wonders of Muir Island! The glory of Silver Sable's homeland Symkaria! The urban squalor of Madripoor! The underwater marvels of Lemuria! With art from legend Eliot R. Brown (Punisher Armory, Iron Manual), this is the Marvel Universe like you've never seen it before!

"The Marvel Atlas is the first of its kind, a complete guide to all the lands real and imagined which make up Marvel's Earth," explained head writer Michael Hoskin. "Latveria, Symkaria, Wakanda and more are brought to vivid life through the illustrations of Eliot R. Brown. This is an invaluable reference for fans who take the world-building of the Marvel Universe seriously."

Kick back, relax and take the trip you've been waiting for your whole life—journey to all corners of the Marvel Universe in Marvel Atlas #1!
