MSCU

The Marvel Scratch Comics Universe, MSCU for short, began in January 6th 2019 with the release of Gamora #1 by -MarvelComics-. On August 10th 2022 the universe's expansion into novels was announced. It was cancelled on Wednesday, December 21st, 2022, but -MarvelComics- has since recontinued the universe.

## History

### The Beginning

The MSCU officially began on January 9th, 2019, with the release of Gamora #1. It soon added more series' to its roster and quickly gained attention from Marvel lovers on Scratch, leading to the creation of the Marvel Scratch Multiverse. The first phase, Kang Wars, was completed with the release of Spider-Verse #7 on August 13th 2019.

### Expanding The Universe

As the MSM grew, the MSCU continued to its second phase, Ultron's Strings, with the release of Thor #6 on an unknown date at some point of August. The universe's audience kept growing until comic production was halted on January 14th 2020 due to low motivation to continue, with the release of Guardians Of The Galaxy #2, the penultimate comic of Ultron's Strings.

### Post-Hiatus

The MSCU officially returned after a long hiatus on September 26th, 2021, with the release of The Avengers #7, which completed Phase 2. Phase 3 of the MSCU, The Infinity Quest began with the release of WandaVision #1 on October 1st, 2021. The new MSCU comics were different, with a more polished art style, bigger page counts, sharper writing and more distinctive identities to each of the comic lines. The story that the MSCU was building since the very beginning was wrapped up with the Infinity War series, and Phase 3 came to an end with Gamora: Destiny (One-Shot) on April 30, 2022.

### The New Saga

The MSCU began building towards its next climactic event, set to happen in an untitled sixth phase, when Phase 4, House Of X, began on May 7th 2022 with the release of Daredevil #3. The MSCU explored new territories with various series' introducing new characters and concepts, and the comics got a lot longer than average. A line of Tie-In books, MSCU Tales, also launched during Phase 4. The phase is in its partial climax with the Marvel Legends series, meant to wrap up some storylines, tease the future of the MSCU and celebrate Marvel Legends #3 being the 100th comic of the universe. However, after the release of Marvel Legends #1 on October 30th 2022, -MarvelComics- lost motivation to continue working on comics and shortly after announced that he is leaving Scratch.

### Post-Second-Hiatus

-MarvelComics- did release Marvel Legends #2 on February 13th, 2023, a while after leaving, and later removed the project that announced his leave, making a semi-official return. Marvel Legends #3 was released on August 5th, 2023 to great critical acclaim, and was the most trending project on the scratch website from Aug 10th to (?). On the same day, it was confirmed that the sixth phase was titled “Secret Wars”.
