Marvel fans, unite! Feld Entertainment Inc. will put fans right in the middle of one of the most electrifying battles between good and evil ever conceived with Marvel Universe Live!, a live arena spectacular touring nationally this summer. But the story begins even before audiences arrive, as Marvel has created a prequel comic book that will give audiences insight into the storyline of the show. With a story by Frank Tieri (Iron Man, Wolverine), illustrations by Miguel Sepulveda (Hulk, The Thanos Imperative), and color art by Jay David Ramos (Uncanny X-Force, Captain America), this complimentary comic book is available exclusively for a limited time to consumers who pre-order tickets to the live show.
Marvel Universe Live! will captivate audiences with an authentic and original story that brings more than 25 Marvel characters together on one epic quest. The story is framed around the battle over the Cosmic Cube, the source of ultimate power and one of the most feared and coveted treasures in the Marvel Universe, that has been shattered into pieces by the mighty Thor in order to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. With the pieces scattered across the globe, Thor’s villainous brother, Loki, devises a scheme to clone its powers, inciting a threat that could not only decimate Earth, but also obliterate the universe.
The original comic book will give audiences a look into how Thor gained possession of the Cube and will introduce the Lectro Link. A brand new addition to Marvel lore, the Lectro Link is a wearable tech invention created by Tony Stark and Peter Parker that provides a remote power source for the Iron Man suit. The Lectro Link will be available to fans as a unique collectible item that will thrust audiences into the action. Customers can pre-order the Lectro Link online when purchasing tickets or buy it at the show.
Produced by Feld Entertainment, this first-ever live Marvel tour makes its 85-city debut in July in Tampa, Fla., followed by the world premiere in New York City’s Barclays Center on Wednesday, August 13. The first leg of its North American tour will feature stops in Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Nashville, Miami, and Atlanta, among others.  Tickets for Marvel Universe Live! on sale now.
