Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Spider-Verse uses a variety of techniques such as descriptions to try different styles of animation and wrap the boundaries of what a superhero film should look like. Spider-Man actors come from a variety of universities, and this is shown in films with a single animation and artistic style used throughout the film. The two main characters of Spider-Man borrow the story through its pathos, but otherwise, this is a good Spider-Man story, using the jokes in the children's series and slapping the tongue on the cheek to make it harder for comedy fans to entertain those familiar with other good films.

Kevin Feige Gives Update On 'Loki' Season 2
When the announcement that Marvel was going to be continuing some of their biggest characters storylines through the medium of TV came, many fans were a little skeptical. Their previous projects sadly never reached anywhere near the hype achieved by their film series as they weren't as universally loved. However, by the time WandaVision ended, that all changed. WandaVision changed the game for Marvel, then The Falcon and the Winter Soldier came along and continued the trend.

Spider-Man: No Way Home Predictions
Ever since Wandavision started way back in January the internet has been a buzz trying to connect any multiverse happenings to this project. Those connections were for a reason as rumors spread rampant that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield would be joining Tom Holland as their own versions of Spider-Man. Of course, this lends itself to the idea of a Spider-Verse in a sense which was an incredible hit, even while an animated film. With Marvel so heavily hinting at a multiversal war in the Disney Plus series, Loki, all of the rumors made sense. The struggle with such grand expectations is that it can be incredibly difficult for the studios to meet them. Marvel and Sony of course are working together on this film as per their contract with one another, and they released the trailer today (even after yet another leak on Sony's side). Needless to say any worries of struggling to meet expectations should be largely quelled. Spoilers ahead for those that haven't watched the recent Spider-Man or Avenger films.

Tom Holland Posts Cryptic Instagram Message After 'No Way Home' Trailer Leak
Tom Holland's third outing as Spider-Man, titled No Way Home, is easily one of, if not the most, anticipated entries into the MCU thus far. The previous entry, Far from Home, ended with a huge cliffhanger and saw the return of J K Simmons' version of J Jonah Jameson. As the years have passed since Far from Home's release, we have had a ton of rumors and confirmations as to the potential plot of the new film and have also found out that it will also see the return of many Spider-Man villains from previous iterations of the character. Most notably, Alfred Molina's return as Doctor Octopus from Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man 2 and Jamie Foxx's return as Electro from The Amazing Spider-Man 2. With it being confirmed that Phase 4 of the MCU will focus on the multiverse, fans have let their imaginations go wild as to what this could mean for potential future projects.

Comic Creators From Marvel Getting Paid A Measly $5,000 For The Use Of Stories
The Marvel Cinematic Universe, or MCU as it is commonly known, has cemented itself as a titan in film. Characters like Spider-Man have always had a large fanbase from comic and movies alike, but the films have been able to introduce fans to characters they might not have known as well beforehand like Iron-Man, Scarlet Witch, and the Falcon. This is due in major part to the dozens of comic book creators, writers, and artists that worked diligently to bring the comic books and characters these films are based on to life. However, with the MCU films grossing over $20 billion combined, those people who created the characters and wrote the stories that the films adapted are not being compensated as they should.

Comics are for kids…
Graphic novels are comic book issues in a numerical run, bound into a collection covering a story arc. Think of them like this, the Eastenders omnibus you watch on a Sunday, while hungover (best excuse for watching soaps, and the only acceptable time – Peggy still owns the Queen Vic right??) It isn’t a Eastenders movie but it’s cut so it seems like one big continuous episode.. that’s what graphic novels are to comic books. By extension they are still comics, some fans will get a little snobby claiming they are aimed at adults or a more mature audience, but they are the same. It is in this snapshot which explains the dilemma of reading graphic novels, feeling the need to explain or justify it. Graphic novels are without adverts, printed in a higher finish of paper, and either paperback or hardbook bound and more expensive. Contrastingly comic books are cheaper grade paper with sometimes half to a third of the pages eaten up by adverts, fairly cheap, and no fancy binding, so there is a clear difference, hence the snobbery and more adult ‘look’ of graphic novels.

10 Things You Didn’t Know About The Fantastic Four
Marvel’s first family, better known throughout the world as the Fantastic Four, have been around since the company’s early years. It can even be argued this team of intrepid adventurers turned superheroes put the company on the map and helped them become the titan of the industry it is today. Unfortunately, due to some less than stellar outings in the cinemas and behind the scenes drama, this team isn’t very well known outside of comic book fans. So in an effort to get you more familiar with the team, here’s a taste of their background in the comics.
