Sure,
Marvel is beating rival
DC in terms of monthly comic book titles, but they're pretty much mediocre when it comes to creating and publishing
original graphic novels, where DC is really really kicking some ass. Just check out the success of DC's most recent OGN:
Superman Earth One, which topped the
New York Times Bestsellers List for graphic novels for more than 10 weeks.
So in that light, Marvel has decided to push their luck in that department, with their 'Season One' line of books, which will re-tell the origins of their most popular characters starting with X:Men, Daredevil, Fantastic Four and Spider-Man. Some of the titles will be released starting February 2012.
Check out the covers for the aforementioned titles by Julian Totino:

| X-Men Season One by Dennis Hopeless and Jamie McKelvie |
 |
| Daredevil Season One by Antony Johnston and Wellinton Alves |

| Spider-Man Season One by Cullen Bunn and Neil Edwards |
