Plot
In the early 1960s, Marvel Comics introduced a series of bright-costumed superhero characters—including Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, and the Amazing Spider-Man—that would evolve into a modern American mythology for millions of readers. Over the last half-century, these characters have been passed along among generations of brilliant editors, artists, and writers who struggled with commercial mandates, a fickle audience, and, over matters of credit and control, one another. Written by Sean Howe, former comic book reviewer and editor at Entertainment Weekly, Marvel Comics: The Untold Story is a gripping narrative of one of the most extraordinary, beloved, and beleaguered pop cultural entities in America’s history.

Te deja un poco triste y descorazonado leer esta historia de Marvel y descubrir, o confirmar, porque sospechas ya había, que Marvel no solo no era ese alegre bullpen sino que además ha sido una casa llena de luchas y peleas corporativas que ríete tú de Sucession o Falcon Crest. Me sorprende que no hagan una serie contando todos los malrollismos, yo la veo triunfar por 10 temporadas mínimo. Disocia un poco ver que los "buenos" los que van a salvar al mundo son una panda de tíos avariciosos que lo único que quieren es más dinero. El libro me ha gustado, está bien escrito y es ameno aunque cuando las multinacionales empiezan a "pelearse" se me ha hecho un poco bola. Es lo que tiene no ser un rico heredero acostumbrados a la selva de Wall Street. Lectura apasionante pero deprimente.
