Marvel Continues to Raise the Stakes, but What Comes Next?

Marvel Comics, along with DC and every other independent universe out there, provided the framework on which the MCU grew. While the founding of Marvel Comics might have been slightly more complicated than what Disney did with their Cinematic Universe, Marvel’s fame began, like DC’s, with a few star superheroes in the Golden Age of Comic Books. Those superheroes were brought together in an issue in which they teamed up to create one big fighting force where fans of a single superhero could be introduced to other heroes they might not have read. The comics pretty much did all the work for them when it came to giving the production company a direction to go in.
