10 Best Short Marvel Comic Series Of 2021

3. Kang The Conqueror

Black Knight: Curse Of The Ebony Blade
Marvel Comics

Kang the Conqueror is one of Marvel’s greatest villains and has a pretty complex timeline. Over the years he’s had multiple names and many incarnations. So many in fact, that it’s too easy to lose track of it all. This series makes this overly complicated character and his bonkers timeline make sense.

With Kang being revealed as at least one big bad of this new MCU era at the end of the Loki TV series, now’s the best time to jump in and start getting to know the time-travelling villain a bit better.

It’s got a lot going on - it’s a story that spans thousands of years, after all. This definitive Kang origin story sees Nathaniel Richards begin his adventures through time and space, which leads him to become the almighty Kang the Conqueror.

As he meets multiple variants can he change his future to avoid becoming the monster he encounters early on in his time-travelling adventures? Along the way he'll meet many key players from his past and future, including Ravonna Renslayer and Victor Von Doom.
