Comics At The Movies

DC and Marvel Comics have fully embraced the cinematic medium, using films to reach new audiences and fully explore their existing fan base. The time we live in is indeed an exciting one for fans of comic books, and the superheroes whose tales are told therein, who finally get to see their idols and childhood dreams spring to life in ways they never could have imagined. For men and women who read comics separately and largely in solitude for decades, we finally unite and enjoy the shared experience that is comics at the movies.

Amongst the no-stone-left-unturned coverage in the Civil War cover story is a first look proper at Frank Grillo’s Crossbones. We’ve had Red Skull, now meet the other half of HYDRA’s un-jolly roger. A reminder that HYDRA is still out there and up to no good, Crossbones is the superhero incarnation of Brock Rumlow. Part of a sleeper cell lurking within SHIELD in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, he’s now officially up, showered, breakfasted and is ready to unleash hell on Cap and co. We’d expect that, beneath the medieval-looking armour, he’s bearing the scars of Winter Soldier’s violent climax. How, and when, he resurfaces remains to be seen. Less ambiguous is the role of Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch. Shorn of her psychic twin, Quicksilver, she’s throwing her chips in with Cap (Chris Evans), Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Bucky (Sebastian Stan), Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner). It’ll set her against her comic-book paramour, the Vision (Paul Bettany), a cohort of Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) in the movie. Last, but definitely not least, is a closer look at the main event: Rogers versus Stark, Cap versus Iron Man, rebel against enforcer. The two old colleagues always had a tense friendship but thanks to Stark’s support for the superhero registration legislation, it’s fracturing beyond repair.
