Getting on the Marvel (or DC) train is not easy. The number of films and series produced to date is intimidating, and if we want to get into the comics, things get much more complicated. At iGamesNews we address that challenge in part by organizing all the UCM productions and now we address it fully with the essentials: where is it convenient to start in paper stories?
It’s not something we haven’t done before, for the record, and the idea is as simple as it is: since there are too many characters and events to try to follow the thread and soak up the ownership of what happens starting from any point, we have selected you a small number of exceptional readings with a common denominator: all are perfect to embark on this exciting little world.
Our starting point comes from The Marvels. A film that has not worked commercially in movie theaters and that you can watch on Disney Plus. There are various factors that have more or less conditioned the first and a big underlying problem: Why are there two Captain Marvel and one Miss Marvel? Not to mention that it has reached a point where keeping track of Nick Fury is no longer possible in the MCU.
Our selection of readings for The Marvels It is based on published works that present the main characters in a s ingle volume and that can perfectly converge in the film or expand the stories shown in them. And regardless of this, they are also great gifts (or self-gifts) in line with the great Marvel Studios project. Focusing mainly on what gives meaning to everything that is going on in the House of Ideas: readers and fans.
