Marvel Edge

Marvel Edge was a short-lived Marvel Comics imprint lasting from 1995 to 1996. Some of Marvel's "edgier" (more adult) titles were moved into the Marvel Edge imprint. These included titles featuring such characters as Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Ghost Rider, the Hulk, Nick Fury, and the Punisher.

Marvel Edge, in a sense, was the successor to the Midnight Sons family of titles, as it incorporated Ghost Rider and Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme after the rest of the Midnight Sons titles were cancelled.

Marvel Edge was discontinued right before the Onslaught Saga (comics cover-dated May 1996); it was essentially the precursor to the Marvel Knights imprint, which debuted in 1998 and featured Daredevil and The Punisher, as well as a few other characters.

History

Following an inter-office shake-up in late 1994, Tom DeFalco was removed as Marvel's Editor-in-Chief. Rather than name a successor, Marvel appointed five "Editors-in-Chief," each of whom woud oversee a certain number of titles and, by extension, a certain portion of the Marvel Universe. This change was reflected externally by collecting all Marvel monthlies into broad groups: the X-Men titles, the Spider-Man titles, and three new imprints, one of them being Marvel Edge, which was overseen by Bobbie Chase.
