Comic books and their universes are having their golden age on the Hollywood silver screen. Nearly half of all of the highest grossing films in 2017 were based on characters originally conceived in a comic book series. There are lots of theories on why we seem to LOVE superhero films-- check out these opinions on the matter from Vanity Fair, The New York Times, and Forbes. Whether you are team DC movies or team Marvel movies, the library has many of both for your viewing enjoyment. Everyone can also celebrate their comic & superhero love at the library's upcoming FanCon on August 4th.
August has two new superhero releases to keep your eye on:
The Flash. The Complete Fourth Season and Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War
