🕩 The Marvel universe without electricity, in the chapter where civilization’s reconstruction reaches its crisis point — Dark Ages #4, Tom Taylor and Iban Coello’s 2021–2022 Marvel limited series examining what happens when a catastrophic alien event strips Earth of all technology and forces the world’s heroes to rebuild from nothing. Dark Ages is the kind of high-concept Marvel event that Taylor does better than almost anyone else writing superhero comics today: a premise — an entity called The Unmaker destroys all technology, electromagnetic fields collapse, civilization goes dark — that sounds bleak but in Taylor’s hands becomes something more interesting: a story about what humanity’s best heroes choose to build when the infrastructure of modern civilization is gone and the only tools left are the ones inside themselves. Tom Taylor’s track record across DCeased, Injustice, All-New Wolverine, and X-Men: Red established him as a writer who genuinely understands what superhero archetypes mean and how to use them to tell stories with genuine emotional stakes. Iban Coello’s clean, expressive art gives the series visual clarity that the high-concept chaos of the premise demands. Issue #4 is the series at its dramatic peak. 🕩 Dark Ages #4 is civilization’s rebuild, in its most impossible chapter.

This is Dark Ages #4 — Tom Taylor and Iban Coello’s Marvel limited series (Marvel Comics, January 2022).
