Writer/Producer Marc Guggenheim has always held a deep passion for comics. This love is reflected in the diverse and impressive range of titles he has worked on. His portfolio includes iconic characters and franchises such as Spider-Man, Batman, and X-Men, as well as titles that have captivated my interest, including Planet of the Apes, Star Wars, and Star Trek.

One of his latest titles is a collaboration with Artist Harvey Tolibao for ComiXology Originals, The Adventures of Ulysses Monarch. Set in the year 3026, The Adventures of Ulysses Monarch tells the story of a bold explorer and archaeologist who travels across the galaxy in search of artifacts from the 20th and 21st centuries—our present era. These are valuable treasures, hard to obtain and sometimes, even harder to keep. Just the way Ulysses Monarch likes it.

On July 29th, Guggenheim and Tolibao’s saga will release Issue #4. Now, thanks to ComiXology Originals and the creative team, we are excited to present this exclusive preview of the upcoming issue.
