This thread's for talking about the Marvel Comics line, whether the comics are decades old or brand new.
As well as the superhero tales of the Marvel Universe, that also includes all the other things Marvel's done (Epic Comics, Icon Comics, Star Comics and all the rest), as well as the older stories by Atlas and Timely, the companies that later became Marvel.
Acquisitions like Malibu Comics and Miracleman are also on-topic, as are the licensed 20th Century Studios titles, the Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Zoids and Transformers comics, and all of the comics created locally by regional imprints like Marvel UK and Marvel Italia.
- We have dedicated threads for some groups of titles (such as Spider-Man and the X-Men). You can still discuss them here, but you might want to use the more specific threads.
- We also have threads for Indiana Jones
, Star Wars
, Predator
and some of the other franchises. Sometimes it may be more useful to discuss the comics there rather than here — but they're still on-topic and there's no hard rule.
Technically, Marvel's Infinity Comics (and their predecessors, Infinite Comics) are webcomics, not comic books, but it's fine to talk about them here.
Discussions that are only about Marvel adaptations in other media (films, video games etc.) are off-topic, but discussing the differences between the adaptations and the original comics is fine - as long as spoilers for the adaptations are tagged.
Please follow the spoiler policy rules
- tag spoilers for the latest issues, for any previews or content leaks, and for off-topic comics (e.g. if comparing Marvel to a DC story). When including spoiler tags, try to write so that tropers can make an informed decision before viewing them (e.g. which series and issue will they spoil?).
So apparently,
they're making a Black Panther movie. Let's hope Hudlin is kept as far away as possible. On a related note, anyone think that the whole 'Super Hero that is also a King/Ruler' is kind of ridiculous? I mean where do heroes like Aquaman and T'Challa find the time to both lead a nation and go gallavanting on the other side of the globe?

Huh ya know the Captain America Network guys reminds of Batman Incorporated. The idea of taking the heroes identity and turning it a full franchise around the globe or country in Cap's case.
Though the Network needs more of an ongoing to take advantage of the concept, than a 5 issue mini. The thing's pretty under-baked especially with how underwhelming the final threat ended up being.
Aaron Fischer's a pretty cool guy, wouldn't mind him becoming Steve's new protégé.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."Al Ewing. Javier Rodriguez. Defenders + Ultimates. Nuff said.

Hell yes more Defenders! Ewing's last run was so good, total mindtrip through dimensions. Glad to see Mrs. Galactus is back, she was a lot of fun with her 1960s Zeerust Kirby aesthetic and random bold emphasis. Who's the orange gargoyle on the cover, I swore if this was DC then it could be Etrigan The Demon.
Huh cool detail in this article, "TOP SUPERHERO GRAPHIC NOVEL FRANCHISES - FALL 2021"
Both Venom and Hawkeye are in it
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."Gail Simmone will be writing a book called The Variants
starring Jessica Jones and alternate versions of Jessica.

And it'll be interesting to see Jessica play the alternate self game.
I think she's a little more self loathing than most so it's probably going to be really rough at first.
I wonder if we'll see a variant based off Netflix Jessica Jones?
One Strip! One Strip!Wonder how will Luke Cage and Danielle react to this.
