ADAM WARLOCK

Firstly, one potentially important character for Marvel in this series is Adam Warlock. He appears in Marvel Premiere #1 and Marvel Premiere #2. These issues detail a revamped origin of the character. Plus, they describe how the name of "Adam" comes into play.

It is rumored with inter-dimensional travel and horror effects to the second movie, that Shuma-Gorath may appear in this movie and battle Doctor Strange. Strange appears in many issues in this series. It is a great read for fans of this character.

IRON FIST & SCOTT and CASSIE LANG

optimistic_fistThe next issues I will list are known by collectors and really point out the overall well-roundedness of the series. Marvel Premiere #15 depicts the first appearance and origin of Iron Fist. This character has already had his own live-action show on Netflix. He is rumored to join the MCU in the near future, though. In addition, his rumored appearance could be as early as in the upcoming Shang Chi movie. The mentioning of this character and other related characters to him depicts the shift of the series to a physical fighting background of martial artists and assassins.

Lastly, Marvel Premiere #47 is a doubly important issue for this series. The issue details the first appearance of Scott and Cassie Lang. Of course, Scott is the current Ant-Man in the MCU and is a big part of the future of the movies going forward. This concept also applies to Cassie. She is rumored to be part of the Young Avengers team in the near future. Cassie goes by the superhero name of Stature in the team-up. She is the daughter of Scott and has already made her live-action appearance in the Avengers movies for Marvel. To conclude, there's a lot to like about this series!
