Marvel ratings serve as general guidelines for readers. In many instances, a PSR title may be appropriate for most age groups. Marvel leaves the final determination of what is appropriate content up to the consumer.

Carrying no cover label, these titles are appropriate for readers of all ages.

MARVEL PSR ("Parental Supervision Recommended") - 12+ years old
Appropriate for most readers, parents are advised they may want to read before or with younger children.
(Formerly PG - In-stock backlist titles may carry this old rating.)

PARENTAL ADVISORY/EXPLICIT CONTENT - 18+ years old
Most Mature Readers books will fall under the MAX Comics banner (created specifically for mature-content titles). These titles may contain content similar to an R-rated movie - including harsh language, graphic violence, mature themes, nudity and some sexual situations.
