Marvel #1000 - Everything You Need To Know

5. There Are Some Famous Faces Involved

If you were looking for a book that featured a veritable who's who of Marvel's most beloved creative figures, look no further than the upcoming Marvel Comics #1000. There are dozens of figures coming together to take part in the festivities, and even some who haven't actually tried their hand at comics before.

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller - the producers behind last year's critically lauded Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - will get in on the act, while The Black Eyed Peas' Taboo and even Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are set to helm their own stories too.

That's pretty amazing no matter which way you spin it, and they'll be joined by figures from Marvel's past and present too. Names familiar to those who currently read Marvel include Chip Zdarksy, Don Cates and Tini Howard, while those more familiar with the company's past will recognise the likes of Jeph Loeb, Rob Liefeld and Gerry Conway.
