This is Volume 32 of the series "04," a superhero comic collection in the nature of a Marvel comics omnibus. The series is published continuously in numbered volumes, arranging and presenting multiple Marvel superhero titles by volume, covering many classic characters familiar to readers, with stories spanning such common themes as the battle between good and evil, heroic growth, teamwork, and cosmic adventure. Each volume is both a part of the whole collection and a relatively self-contained unit that can be read on its own, so readers may follow the volume numbers in order or pick volumes according to their interests. As Volume 32 of the series, this book follows the editorial thread of the preceding volumes and centers on the several issues collected here, relying mainly on full-color artwork and panel-by-panel storytelling, supplemented by necessary notes on characters and events to help readers keep the threads and background straight when reading across titles. Because the specific issues collected and the plot vary between editions, the actual contents of this volume should be checked against the copyright page and table of contents; readers new to the series may also begin with the opening of the stories collected here and gradually grow accustomed to the pacing of comic panels and multi-threaded narration.
