Marvels Snapshots is a series of one-shots released in 2020 and 2021 exploring the early days of the Marvel Universe through the viewpoint of non-superheroes. Each issue is curated by Kurt Busiek, but written and illustrated by someone else. The stories themselves serves as a Spiritual Successor to Marvels, which was about the emergence of superheroes in the Marvel Universe through the lens of a photojournalist — Marvels Snapshots, on the other hand, takes a look at superheroes through many different lenses.The issues so far: Marvels Snapshots: Sub-Mariner #1. Written by Alan Brennert, with art by Jerry Ordway. Marvels Snapshots: Fantastic Four #1. Written by Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer, with art by Benjamin Dewey. Marvels Snapshots: Captain America #1. Written by Mark Russell, with art by Ramon Perez. Marvels Snapshots: X-Men #1. Written by Jay Edidin, with art by Tom Reilly. Marvels Snapshots: Spider-Man #1. Written and illustrated by Howard Chaykin. Marvels Snapshots: Avengers #1. Written by Barbara Kesel, with art by Staz Johnson. Marvels Snapshots: Civil War #1. Written by Saladin Ahmed, with art by Ryan Kelly. Marvels Snapshots: Captain Marvel #1. Written by Mark Waid, with art by Colleen Doran.

The Anti-Nihilist: What Scott Summers becomes. "I used to think that if I could do what you did, it would unlock the world. I'd learn to make sense of things. I would make sense. Mostly, what I've learned is how wrong I was. And that it's worth it anyway."

Mythology Gag
 Marvels Snapshots (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: When Scott is researching the Fantastic Four and other superheroes, the library table is covered with magazines whose covers are period appropriate to the time period that Scott would have grown up in if there was no sliding timescale (so the 1950s), including a Saturday Evening Post with this Norman Rockwell cover, only with the Thing instead of the policeman. The scientists at the Grand Opening of the Agriculture Futurism Center are Dr. Reed Richards, Dr. Anthony Stark, and Dr. Peter Corbeau, who will later become very well acquainted with the X-Men and help them get into space.

Offing the Offspring: Under the effects of the Madbomb, Felix's mother killed her other son, Jerome. Even after months of being told by her family that it wasn't her fault and she wasn't in control of her actions, she still blames herself.

Monochrome to Color
 Marvels Snapshots (Comic Book) / int_66925086
comment
Monochrome to Color: The beginning of the issue deliberately uses a lot of dark blues and grays to make Scott's world seem depressing. That changes when the Fantastic Four emerge with a huge splash of color.

Mean Character, Nice Actor
 Marvels Snapshots (Comic Book) / int_687c8839
comment
Mean Character, Nice Actor: Everyone that is interviewed for the news, aside from Dorrie, describes Johnny Storm as pretty full of himself and kind of a jerk, even if he saved the town from supervillains. They hardly show any enthusiasm for his return for the reunion...until the reunion is over and everyone meets at the beach in order to have an actual party with Johnny, whom they were all just pretending to dislike so that supervillains wouldn't target them anymore. It turns out that pretty much the whole town likes him because he's actually a really nice guy.

Arc Words
 Marvels Snapshots (Comic Book) / int_7464705c
comment
Arc Words: "Four people climb into a cockpit. Strap in. Take off. Something goes horribly, horribly wrong." At first, this is about Scott's dream, which is essentially his memories of his family's plane being taken by the Shi'ar. The second time he uses this phrase, however, is in reference to the emergence of the Fantastic Four.

Wrong Side of the Tracks: After the Madbomb goes off and Captain America and the Falcon stop it, the various boroughs of New York City begin to rebuild...except for the Bronx, where Felix lives. Felix sees the government just forgetting about them and leaving them to slowly rot, which is what finally drives him into the arms of A.I.M.

Determined Defeatist: At the end of the issue, as an older Scott prepares to rescue members of the FF, Reed tells him that he can't ask him to do this. Scott them tells him, "A long time ago, I heard someone say that in this line of work, there's a point where you have to rely on instincts. Do what's right, and trust the rest will follow." When Reed asks if, in Scott's experience, that's what generally happens, Scott replies, "Not always. But we keep trying."
