Marvel has embraced audio as a storytelling medium with its previously launched Marvel's Wolverine: The Last Trail and Marvel's Wolverine: The Long Night. These two podcasts are available on Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, and Stitcher.

The company has announced its new upcoming podcast series Marvels as a Stitcher exclusive that'll feature 10 episodes scheduled to debut starting this fall season. The episodes will only be available on Stitcher Premium, the company's subscription service priced at $4.99/month, or the equivalent of $2.92/month if paid yearly.

Subscribers get various features, including access to bonus episodes and archives when applicable, a lack of advertisements, and early access to some releases. The Stitcher Premium exclusivity will end sometime next year when Marvel releases the series to other podcast platforms.

The four-part comic book Marvels was released in 1994 and is the basis for this new podcast series. The audio show will follow the character Phil Sheldon, a photojournalist, and others as they 'embark on an investigation to confirm or debunk one of the most super-powered conspiracy theories of all time,' Marvel explained.
