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
