Sienkiewicz is an amazing talent. Admittedly, I was initially turned off by his style, but I later came to appreciate his great talent. This is the work where I started to really appreciate his work:
Great story too.

For me, this was the death that had the most impact on me from a Marvel comic in the '80s:
Although Elektra's death and Jean Grey's death were both incredibly powerful, they had both been killed off before I started reading comics. Thanks to spoilers from later comics I knew both Jean and Elektra had died well before I was able to read the respective story that killed them off. So as great as those stories were, they simply didn't have the same power they would have had had I gone into the story cold. Kraven's Last Hunt I read as the issues came out, so Kraven's death was a big shock to me. And to Marvel's credit, they kept him dead for quite a while.

I started out with my favorite in the 70s (Tomb of Dracula), and read Howard the Duck, Avengers, Daredevil, X-Men, Mighty Thor, Warlock...loved it.
Marvel is easily my favorite comic book publisher, my only complaint is that Mar-Vell never really came back all the way. He and Captain America were my favorite superheroes.
It's funny...the soundtrack (and to a slightly lesser degree the movie) to Man of Steel got me back into comics a few years back, and I went crazy with the movies, books, etc. But I became really disinterested after what for me was the height: the Civil War theme (best Marvel movie imo).
Something after just a bit after my falling in love with that movie: I snapped out of it and saw it for the phase it was.
Still love the scores: Winter Soldier (more fun than artistic), Man of Steel, the Dark Knight Trilogy(especially Rises). The Thor: Dark World score was a blast too imo. Nah, none of it is Goldsmith or Herrmann, but some really good listening imo.

The upcoming BLACK PANTHER film is getting near-unanimous praise from critics, isn't it?
Should we be excited in a "this-film-lives-up-to-all-the-hype" kind of way? The last Black Panther trailer I saw turned into a car commercial!
The film is certainly getting some great reviews. Does it live up to the hype? Hopefully it does. I really liked how Black Panther was handled in CA: Civil War, and his appearances in the Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War trailers look great. Anyway, I will be seeing the film this Friday.
In the meantime, I have been reading this in anticipation for the upcoming film:
