In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war...
The saga of WARHAMMER 40,000 comes to Marvel Comics!

MARNEUS CALGAR, the legendary Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, leads

his elite Space Marines against humanity's greatest threats in a galaxy

engulfed in endless war.
Kieron Gillen (UNCANNY X-MEN, JOURNEY INTO

MYSTERY, The Wicked + The Divine) spearheads the initiative with this

introductory miniseries, illustrated by Jacen Burrows (PUNISHER: SOVIET,

MOON KNIGHT, Crossed)--and we're just getting started!
Now, witness

Marneus Calgar's never-before-told origin story, from his beginnings on

Nova Thulium, to his campaigns in the Black Crusades, and to the

unfolding mystery of the BLACK ALTAR, as a deadly threat from his past

reemerges to threaten the present of the Ultramar system.
This

all-new tale is essential reading for 40K aficionados, as well as the

perfect primer to the world of WARHAMMER 40,000 for those new to the

universe. See the Ultramarines in glorious combat, the strife between

the worlds of the Imperium, and witness the larger than life characters

who preside over it all! This is but the first foray into the larger

darkness that is to come from Warhammer and Marvel Comics.
Be prepared.
