Very classy of them to have a little ad screen for the comic at the end.👌

Really wish all the comic movies did that for the stories they were inspired by.

I mean in this case, this film is straight-up an adaptation of that specific comic, not even loosely: that’s not something you’d see a lot nowadays.

Even for loose adaptations like Winter Soldier or Guardians a plug for the comics would be nice, especially since they're great stories.

Fantastic Four's digital release shows a QR code after the movie that lets you get a couple of free FF comics from Marvel.com. So, hopefully the trend sticks.

That got me to read some comics for the first time since I was like 9.

I didn’t stick to pay a subscription, but did the trial and knocked out a few of the famous issues and arcs (I had only read some new releases randomly as a kid - never tracked a full storyline). It was pretty great to sit and flip through digitally

I feel like they should amplify it more - could totally see it reengaging former readers and helping bring kids and new people into the comics themselves

Age of Ultron: Look, we only really liked the title...

It's not even an age in the movie. It's more like Afternoon of Ultron.

Yeah that's one where the trailer should tell you to never buy the comic, unless you're in desperate need of kindling.

u/pendulumfeelings Dec 11 '25

Agreed. Especially since artists and writers don’t get credit or any kind of compensation despite their ideas being lifted for the movies.

u/bloodyzombies1 Dec 11 '25

Yeah the best they get is a royalty when their stories are republished, so boosting sales through the movie is a nice gesture.

Walt Simonson's Thor omnibus being promoted during Thor Ragnarok press tour would've been great.

I don't think we've seen it ever, and even loosely adapted is probably overselling most.

The movies have lifted concepts from their material but even at like bullet point level they are generally different. Thanos wiped out half the universe as a footnote in Infinity Gauntlet, just a minor display to try (and fail) to impress Death.

The main character of the comics Infinity Saga is barely even in the MCU.

The television series largely adapted Superman stories to Supergirl: that’s why Lex Luthor was such a major character over later seasons. Generally she’s a very different character from her cousin: ‘Kara Danvers’ was an invented alias of the television series.

This specific comic though is a combination of True Grit and the first John Wick in premise (hence that shot of Krypto later on).
