How The MCU Has Influenced Marvel Comics

May 18, 2019 by Matt Lehn Leave a Comment

Marvel’s characters have always been larger than life and, in that, no one art form has ever been able to singularly contain them. It’s something the late Stan Lee’s been hawking as a life’s mission from easily as far back as the 1960s. And in that spirit, certainly the Marvel Cinematic Universe is an achievement beyond anyone’s wildest imaginings.

That said, the publication wing would be utterly remiss if it didn’t periodically take into account what the crazy successful younger sibling is up to and maybe try to cop some of its style. Call it synergy. Call it the tail wagging the dog. Call it a neverending feedback loop. Call it art imitating another art eating its own tail. More eyeballs on these creations is more eyeballs on these creations and that can’t be bad.

Let’s take a look back over the last decade and see exactly how the MCU has come to influence Marvel Comics! [Read more…] about How The MCU Has Influenced Marvel Comics

How Do Superhero Comics Get Made?

May 9, 2019 by John Galati 1 Comment

At night, when I close my eyes, I can hear my comic collection growing. There is a shuffling of paper as if tiny flocks of birds were posting up, sliding next to one another on the shelves. The wall studs groan like bad actors in a Dickens play. Books vanish and reappear as if loaning themselves out.

This can’t just be my imagination; there is physical evidence of their accumulation. Indeed, it seems impossible that any human imagination could conceive of such wonders that fill these pages that now fill my home.

No. This must be the world of the supernatural. And like any good character in a Lovecraftian horror, I’m going to painstakingly describe my journey into this publishing madness. Especially all of the indescribable bits. [Read more…] about How Do Superhero Comics Get Made?

Marvel Comics 101: A Salute To 80 Years

May 7, 2019 by Matt Lehn Leave a Comment

It’s almost without question that Marvel is the entertainment juggernaut to beat these days. The current runaway release of Avengers: Endgame is a well-earned, and indeed, well-timed victory lap as 2019 also marks the eightieth anniversary of Marvel Comics.

So, whether you’ve seen some of those big superhero movies everyone’s been talking about and are now comic book curious or you’re just new to the planet and are curious about this “Marvel phenomenon”- either way, you are covered!

Let’s take it from the top, take advantage of the added attention and highlight some of the fundamental building blocks of the House of Ideas that is Marvel… [Read more…] about Marvel Comics 101: A Salute To 80 Years

With Avengers: Endgame set to deliver the follow-up to the game-changing Infinity War, it’s a good time to reflect on the best starting places for new comics readers.
