Comic Books & Graphic Novels

[mklutz]

This week, Templemarker plays sherpa through the soap operatic wilds of Marvel, DC, and indie comics. We talk about how to get your toes wet in the twisty, confusing world of sprawling and contradictory canons, show you the ropes on the stories to read and the ones to avoid, and give those of you already chomping at the bit for the 2012 Avengers movie some context for the film. And then, we drop a righteous mountain of fandom and canon recs for you guys — happy reading!

I cannot overstate my glee at my name superimposed over Helena.

(I'm glad everything was made right in the end! Kudos for your perseverance, and thanks for letting me play.)

If you guys have not been introduced to Law and the Multiverse, here: http://lawandthemultiverse.com/ (covers legal practicalities in comic book stuff, though I'm not sure if it involves secret identities in court)
