The Macroverse is Platinum's expanding universe of thousands of characters and storylines.
Designed as a huge sandbox in which writers can play, the Macroverse stretches from before
the Big Bang to the distant future, with multiple dimensions and alternate realities.
It provides a framework of rules and mythology that serves as background for stories
ranging from thrillers and romantic comedy in present-day settings to science fiction,
fantasy, and heroic adventure. Macroverse stories will be published as part of the
Platinum Studios Comics line, and are being developed for film, television, and other media.
Building the Macroverse
The Platinum Macroverse encompasses all of Platinum's internally developed storylines, characters, and concepts.
The Platinum development team has assembled a colossal Platinum Macroverse Bible (over a thousand pages and still
growing), an encyclopedic guide to the Platinum universe that includes its history and detailed, encyclopedic
descriptions of all the worlds, dimensions, events, and characters (human and otherwise) that are part of the
Macroverse. The Macroverse continues to grow, with new characters and stories constantly being added.
The Macroverse Bible project is led by comics writer Greg Weisman, former head of TV development for DreamWorks and
Walt Disney (where he created the hit animated series Gargoyles). The Bible development team includes comics
luminaries like Marv Wolfman, Cary Bates, Danny Fingeroth, Dan Mishkin, Dean Motter, and Emmy award-winning
Batman: The Animated Series story editor Michael Reaves.
Macroverse Comics
The Platinum Studios Comics publishing line includes a variety of titles from the Macroverse, encompassing
real-world action thrillers like Watchdogs, horror-suspense like Ghosting, romantic comedies like Consumed,
the epic science fiction crime drama Age of Kings, and the science fiction/Western adventure Cowboys & Aliens.
Our characters journey to parallel dimensions (Unique), share wild adventures with the strangest aliens imaginable
(Adventures of Tymm), and come face to face with a millennia-old myth (Atlantis Rising). And those are just a few examples.
The Macroverse is divided into several different dimensions: some where superheroes, magic, monsters, and aliens are
common, others that are just like the real world. So normal, present-day characters and stories can stay separate
from the fantastic and supernatural elements (unless we WANT to mix them together).
