Comic Book Movies of 2018 Guide

Updated 1/11/18

Superheroes will rule 2018. The Marvel Cinematic Universe reaches a major milestone and new beginning. The X-Men franchise mutates with New Mutants – literally – jumping to the big screen. A DC comics legend will make a big splash in cinemas – and it won’t be a storyline punchline.

WHERE’S WOLVERINE, INFINITY SECRET In MARVEL End Credits

Marvel Comics is taking inspiration from the movies. If we stick around for the film end credits for a glimpse (sometimes just a coy tease) of the next adventure then will we buy more comics to try and solve the biggest Marvel Legacy shocker?

Where Is Wolverine? What Is His Startling Secret?

The X-Man is back from the dead. Readers can go on a quest in the backs of upcoming comics. How will Logan’s return connect to the Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain Marvel?

Doctor Strange featured comics canon Easter eggs, cameos and massive ties to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The latest Phase Three film opened doors to new dimensions, introduced new villains but how did it wrap into the big cosmic conspiracy weaving through all the Marvel movies?

Yes, I respond enthusiastically and dive in.

Nearly every film has one common element that will lead to Avengers: Infinity War: Infinity Stones.

In the comics Thanos gathered these six stones on a cosmic Gauntlet and unleashed Death (an actual entity he worships) across the Marvel universe.

Where are those stones and how does Doctor Strange fit into the quest for pieces of the ultimate weapon? Continue reading MARVEL Movies INFINITY Update

Behold The Vision.

Marvel revealed a full look at Paul Bettany as the iconic android in a new Avengers: Age of Ultron poster.

Bettany voiced Tony Stark’s J.A.R.V.I.S. in four earlier Marvel films and materializes on screen as The Vision.

In comics, Ultron creates the red-faced android to infiltrate and destroy the heroes from within but he turns on his creator and became a fan-favorite member of the team.

Now as we’ve seen, Marvel Studios does not always follow comics canon. For example, Tony Stark creates Ultron in the film instead of Hank Pym. Continue reading Behold PAUL BETTANY as THE VISION in AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Poster
