Sequel to “Marvels” coming in December
The long-in-the-works sequel to “Marvels,” “Eye of the Camera,” is scheduled for a December release, according to Tom Brevoort at Fan Expo in Canada.
The article on Marvel.com indicates the sequel will be a six-issue miniseries teaming original writer Kurt Busiek with artist Jay Anacleto.
“Once again, our point of view character and the guy we’re with is Phil Sheldon, and we’ll be picking him up sometime after the original ‘Marvels,’” Brevoort said on Marvel.com. “Along with him on this particular story over these six issues, we’ll be walking through the Marvel universe of the ‘70s and of the ‘80s and also revisiting a couple of key moments from the ‘60s that got skipped over in the original ‘Marvels’ series because they weren’t germane to that story. We’re very much of a kind in terms of the story in the original ‘Marvels’ and a direct sequel in that this is all the stuff that happens to Phil after the end of ‘Marvels’ #4.”

I believe that was “Code of Honor,” which was considered for a MARVELS sequel, as I recall, but then released without the MARVELS branding.
Millar’s photo-epic, as I recall, morphed into 1985.
We got a rash of painted comics after the success of MARVELS, though nothing that quite caught the imagination the same way. I like Busiek, and I like the little of Anacleto’s art I’ve seen (from Aria), so I’m willing to give it a look. I doubt it has anywhere near the impact of the first one at this point, either as a story or as an event, but I’m certainly willing to give it a read and see where it takes me.

Marvels was a unique book that catapulted Ross into stardom I don’t think It can be repeated they should go a different direction and show marvel through the eyes of someone new and with a different artist. if the pix is an example of his work his style is a little “kid storybooky”
Posh.
What was the one they did right after Marvels came out, in the 70′s/80s, with a COPS feel to it? Supposed to be a sequel that didn’t take off?
And what about Millar’s long in development MARVELS like photo-epic?
I, personally, don’t think it’s much of a sequel when Ross isn’t participating. Marvels was a visual masterpiece, and I don’t think we’ll see anything else like it.
