The comics are written and illustrated by a variety of individuals, and each one consists of 1 to 4 issues. They are intended to tell additional stories about existing characters, or to make connections between MCU projects, without necessarily expanding the universe or introducing new concepts or characters. hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii The first MCU tie-in comics to be published were ''Iron Man: Fast Friends'', ''The Incredible Hulk: The Fury Files'', and ''Nick Fury: Spies Like Us'', all in 2008. They were followed by an adaptation of ''[[Iron Man (2008 film)|Iron Man]]'' in 2010, along with ''Iron Man 2: Fist of Iron'' (2010), ''Iron Man 2: Public Identity'' (2010), ''Iron Man 2: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' (2010), ''Captain America: First Vengeance'' (2011), ''Captain America & Thor: Avengers'' (2011), ''The Avengers Prelude: [[Fury's Big Week]]'' (2012), ''The Avengers Initiative'' (2012), ''The Avengers Prelude: Black Widow Strikes'' (2012), and an adaptation of ''[[Iron Man 2]]'' (2012). Comic tie-ins for Marvel's television series began in 2014 with ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: The Chase'', followed by ''Jessica Jones'' (2015). Marvel changed its approach to film tie-in material in 2012, [[Retroactive continuity|retroactively]] dividing the tie-in comics into those that exist within the MCU continuity, and those that are merely inspired by the films and television series. Since then, ''Iron Man 3 Prelude'' (2013), ''Thor: The Dark World Prelude'' (2013), ''Captain America: The Winter Soldier Infinite Comic'' (2014), ''Guardians of the Galaxy Infinite Comic'' (2014), ''Guardians of the Galaxy Prelude'' (2014), ''Avengers: Age of Ultron Prelude – This Scepter'd Isle'' (2015), ''Ant-Man Prelude'' (2015), ''Ant-Man – Scott Lang: Small Time'' (2015), ''Captain America: Civil War Prelude Infinite Comic'' (2016), ''Doctor Strange Prelude'' (2016), ''Doctor Strange Prelude Infinite Comic'' (2016), ''Black Panther Prelude'' (2017), and ''Avengers: Infinity War Prelude'' (2018) have been released in the former category, along with film adaptations of ''[[Thor (film)|Thor]]'' (2013), ''[[Captain America: The First Avenger]]'' (2013), ''[[The Avengers (2012 film)|The Avengers]]'' (2014–15), ''[[Iron Man 3]]'' and ''[[Captain America: The Winter Soldier]]'' (2015–16), ''[[Guardians of the Galaxy (film)|Guardians of the Galaxy]]'' (2017), ''[[Captain America: Civil War]]'' (2017), ''[[The Incredible Hulk (film)|The Incredible Hulk]]'' (2017), ''[[Thor: The Dark World]]'' (2017), ''[[Ant-Man (film)|Ant-Man]]'' (2018), and ''[[Avengers: Infinity War]]'' (2018-19). ==Development== {{quote box|width=33%|quote=The MCU [comics] are going to be stories set within movie continuity.

Writer Frank Tieri noted that the tie-in comics "provide Marvel with the opportunity to do a lot of different things" that other media do not, including the exploring of non-superhero genres and the reintroducing of older characters.<ref name="FuryFiles" /> Alejandro Arbona, the Marvel editor tasked with overseeing the 2010 tie-in comics ''Iron Man 2: Public Identity'' and ''Iron Man 2: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'', explained that Marvel "want to show readers more of that world, that connective tissue between all the movies, and a little bit more of how the characters interact", so the publishing side worked with Brad Winderbaum, Jeremy Latcham, and Will Corona Pilgrim at [[Marvel Studios]] to decide which concepts should be carried over from the Marvel Comics Universe to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, what to show in the tie-in comics and what to leave for the films, and how to "make these stories as strong as possible" from their experience making the films.<ref name="IM2comics"/> For ''[[The Avengers (2012 film)|Marvel's The Avengers]]'' in 2012, Marvel's senior vice-president of sales David Gabriel described a "more focused" approach to tie-ins than previously, with the intention to reach fans of 'all walks of life'. This was echoed by Rich Thomas, global editorial director at Disney Publishing, who wanted the Avengers program to be "all things to all people. Just like the film, from the youngest reader...to the Marvel enthusiast."<ref name="MarvelDisneyAssemble" /> Since then, many of the tie-ins have had the red 'Avengers' stamp on the cover.<ref name="Stamp"/> Pilgrim, the creative director of research and development at Marvel Studios, confirmed that the previously released ''Public Identity'', ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'', and ''First Vengeance'', were all official MCU stories,<ref name="PilgrimCanon" /> with the other previously released tie-in comics considered to be inspired by the MCU only.<ref name="PilgrimInspired" /> {{quote box|width=33%|align=left|quote=When we started launching Marvel Studios and decided these movies were interconnected...we wanted to make sure it made sense as a cohesive, whole piece, [which] really sort of freed us up to start asking what other stories would we like to tell....anything that we really loved but didn't necessarily have a place in the film[s] is fair game.|source=—''[[Captain America: The First Avenger]]'' co-producer Stephen Broussard in February 2011, on the conception of the tie-in comics.<ref name="FVD1"/>}} Comic writer [[Fred Van Lente]] stated in 2013 that he had proposed a regular comic series set within the MCU to Marvel, but they wished to keep all possibilities open for potential film and television development. He said that this was also the reason why Marvel does not want writers to introduce new elements to the MCU through tie-in comics.<ref name="CAH"/> In March 2014, Pilgrim confirmed that the MCU Infinite Comics were officially canon.<ref name="PilgrimInfinite" /> That July, the MCU tie-in comics expanded to television tie-ins with the release of ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: The Chase'', a comic inspired by the [[Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (season 1)|first season]] of ''[[Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.]]''<ref name="AoSTC" /><ref name="PilgrimCanonAoS" /> In November, Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief [[Axel Alonso]] avoided a question of whether an ongoing comic series could be set within the MCU, but did note that Marvel Comics would "always be working on books set in the Cinematic Universe...the collected editions of those comics end up being some of the best sellers of the year".<ref name="AlonsoNov2014" /> In February 2015, Pilgrim clarified that the canon tie-ins "are considered official MCU canon stories" set in the same universe as the films and television series, whereas the other, "inspired by" tie-ins are "more about having another fun adventure with the Avengers....where we get to show off all the characters from the film in costume and in comic form", but not affect the official MCU continuity.<ref name="PilgrimCanon2015" /> ==Marvel Cinematic Universe-set titles== <onlyinclude> {| class="wikitable plainrowheaders" style="text-align:left; width:99%;" |- ! rowspan="2" | Title ! rowspan="2" | Issue(s) ! colspan="2" | Publication date(s) ! rowspan="2" | Writer(s) ! rowspan="2" | Artist(s) |- !

Because of this, the adaptations sometimes have new scenes, which Marvel "felt strongly enough" to include as canon, even though they were never filmed. Examples include an interaction between [[Jasper Sitwell]] and Nick Fury in ''Iron Man: I Am Iron Man!'', the "Boys Flight Out" sequence from ''Iron Man 2'', where [[Tony Stark (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Tony Stark]] invites [[War Machine (comics)|James Rhodes]] to wear the [[Iron Man's armor in other media|Iron Man Mark II]] armor,<ref name="PilgrimAntManAvengersAoU" /> and an additional interaction set during ''Captain America: Civil War'' between [[Peter Parker]] and his [[Aunt May]] in ''Spider-Man: Homecoming Prelude''. ===''Iron Man 2: Public Identity'' (2010)=== Decades ago, [[Howard Stark]] worked with [[Crimson Dynamo|Anton Vanko]] to build the first arc reactor, but when Howard realized Vanko's greedy goals, he had him arrested and deported before, at the urging of [[Iron Monger|Obadiah Stane]], returning to the business of arms dealing that made him so successful in the past. In the present, Stark's son Tony uses the arc reactor technology to power his Iron Man armor, and after revealing this identity to the world, becomes a public hero. U.S. General [[Thunderbolt Ross|Thaddeus Ross]] commissions Stark's business rival [[Justin Hammer]] to build a single-pilot vehicle to replace Iron Man, who has been interfering with and causing trouble for the military. When testing the new vehicle, the pilot crash lands in unfriendly territory, under attack from the Congolese army. Tony saves the airman, but, to the chagrin of Ross, refuses to return the Congolese soldiers' fire. Director Nick Fury and Agent [[Phil Coulson]] of [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]] later review Stark's actions.<ref name="PI1"/><ref name="PI2"/><ref name="PI3"/> ''Public Identity'' was written by Joe Casey and Justin Theroux, with art by Barry Kitson,<ref name="IM2casey"/> and the three issues were published on April 28,<ref name="IM2PI" /> May 5,<ref name="IM2PI2" /> and May 12, 2010,<ref name="IM2PI3" /> respectively. Theroux, who wrote the screenplay for ''Iron Man 2'', was able to show Casey "a fairly finalized script" before the two began work on the tie-in.<ref name="IM2casey"/> In May 2010, Alejandro Arbona, who oversaw the creation of the comic, explained that the story of the tie-ins had to come "organically from the stuff that happened in ''Iron Man ''—what would happen to a man who'd just revealed his super hero identity to the world?—and it had to move us toward the stuff we knew was going to be important in ''Iron Man 2''".<ref name="IM2comics"/> In September 2010, Casey noted that writing an MCU tie-in comic required working within the boundaries of the movie continuity and Marvel Studios' plan, as well as writing the characters as portrayed in the films (the "movie version of Stark has a specific attitude" that Casey tried to put in the comic, for example).<ref name="IM2casey"/> The comic, set after ''Iron Man'' but before ''Iron Man 2'' and ''The Incredible Hulk'', was conceived to explain the [[post-credits scene]]s of ''Iron Man'' and ''The Incredible Hulk'', where Tony Stark meets Nick Fury for the first time but General Ross not for the first time, respectively.<ref name="PilgrimCanon2015" /> Arbona said that "when Tony Stark spoke to General Ross at the end of ''The Incredible Hulk'', you could tell they already knew each other; they spoke about some shared history they'd had together. Well in ''Iron Man 2: Public Identity'' you see when they first meet, and what that shared history is."<ref name="IM2comics"/> This comic explains that the [[artificial intelligence|AI]] [[J.A.R.V.I.S.]] was created in memory of [[Edwin Jarvis]], introduced here as Howard Stark's butler. A younger version of the character appears in ''[[Agent Carter (TV series)|Agent Carter]]'', portrayed by [[James D'Arcy]].<ref name="JarvisCarter" /> ===''Iron Man 2: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' (2010)=== Nick Fury plants a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent aboard a Ten Rings-controlled vessel in the [[Gulf of Aden]] in an effort to get a live account of Iron Man in action, while Tony Stark is keeping an eye on S.H.I.E.L.D. himself.<ref name="AoS1"/> Phil Coulson monitors the first field operation of a S.H.I.E.L.D. recruit who is tasked with taking down a Ten Rings terrorist cell on American soil, which Coulson later reveals was a set up, a common S.H.I.E.L.D. test for new recruits.<ref name="AoS2"/> [[Black Widow (Natalia Romanova)|Natasha Romanoff]] infiltrates [[Stark Industries]] under the alias of Natalie Rushman, using her spy skills to quickly work her way up the company until she meets with Stark personally.<ref name="AoS3"/> ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' was written by Joe Casey and released on September 1, 2010.<ref name="IM2AoS"/> It consists of three, eight-page stories, each spotlighting a different character:<ref name="AGENTS"/> Nick Fury in "Who Made Who", with art by [[Tim Green]]; Phil Coulson in "Just Off the Farm", with art by [[Felix Ruiz]]; and Natasha Romanoff in "Proximity", with art by Matt Camp.<ref name="IM2AoS"/> Casey said of the short stories, "The movie studio is very aware of what they're doing, so they paid close attention...It's not exactly the Marvel Universe I grew up with, [but] it's not like the Ultimate universe either. It's a brand new thing, with its own rules and its own continuity."<ref name="IM2casey"/> The end of "Proximity" depicts Romanoff, working undercover in the legal department of Stark Industries, meeting with Tony Stark in his home gym. This is also the scene in ''Iron Man 2'' where the character is introduced, the story therefore acting as a direct [[Sequel|prequel / parallel story]] to the film.<ref name="AGENTS"/> ===''Captain America: First Vengeance'' (2011)=== In 1944, as he attacks a [[Hydra (comics)|Hydra]] base in the Nazi-occupied Danish Straits, [[Steve Rogers (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Steve Rogers]] recalls parts of his life that got him to this point: his mother's blessing to become a soldier; his first meeting with [[Bucky Barnes]], who protected him from bullies as a boy; the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, when Bucky and Steve decided to enlist; Bucky training Steve to pass the physical; and the point when Bucky passed the physical but Steve failed.<ref name="FV1"/> [[Red Skull|Johann Schmidt]] watches Rogers fight, and recalls how he got to this point: meeting [[Adolf Hitler]]; capturing [[Arnim Zola]] to research creating super soldiers; and finding [[Abraham Erskine]] and blackmailing him into continuing his super soldier research under the employ of the Nazis.<ref name="FV2"/> Howard Stark, via radio, assists Rogers, remembering when he was recruited by Colonel [[Chester Phillips|Phillips]] to join the Strategic Scientific Reserve, and when he helped [[Peggy Carter]] rescue Erskine from Schmidt.<ref name="FV3"/> [[Dum Dum Dugan]] and the [[Howling Commandos]] arrive to assist Rogers, and they remember their formation—thrust together in a Hydra work camp, forming close friendships after a failed escape attempt. After they defeat the Hydra soldiers, Rogers destroys Schmidt's main weapon at the base, an [[Asgard (comics)|Asgardian]] artifact.<ref name="FV4"/> ''First Vengeance'' was written by Fred Van Lente,<ref name="CAFVvanlente"/> with art for the first half of the comic by Neil Edwards,<ref name="CAFVedwards"/> and by Luke Ross for the rest.<ref name="CAFVross"/> The first of eight digital issues was released on February 6, 2011,<ref name="FVD1" /> with the other seven subsequently released on February 16,<ref name="FVD2" /> March 2,<ref name="FVD3" /> March 23,<ref name="FVD4" /> June 8,<ref name="FVD5" /> July 6,<ref name="FVD6" /> July 13,<ref name="FVD7" /> and July 20,<ref name="FVD8" /> respectively. The comic was also published in four issues on May 4,<ref name="CAFVedwards"/> May 18,<ref name="CAFV2" /> June 15,<ref name="CAFVross"/> and June 29, 2011,<ref name="CAFV4"/> respectively. On what the comic covers, ''Captain America: The First Avenger'' co-producer Stephen Broussard explained that there were "lots of little side stories" that they found fascinating but didn't fit into the story of the film, so the comic allows those to be told. These side stories include some backstory to the film, some action running parallel to the film, and some hints at "things to come", and are "all sort of jumbled up". Van Lente read the film's script, and had his own comic scripts overlooked by Quesada and Broussard, to keep the comic in line with the film.<ref name="FVD1" /> Some of Van Lente's initial ideas, when he felt that he could do anything because of the comic medium, had to be changed due to not fitting into the realistic world of the MCU,<ref name="PilgrimCanon2015" /> a process Van Lente described as "making comics on a budget".<ref name="PilgrimCanon2015" /> Van Lente stated, "What's neat about the MCU, just like in the comics' universe, is the interconnections between various movies, particularly ''Iron Man 2'' and ''Thor''. You'll start to see those coming out in ''First Vengeance''."<ref name="FVD1" /> On the differences between the MCU and original versions of the characters, Van Lente noted that when [[Joe Simon]] and [[Jack Kirby]] originally created Captain America, they "didn't have 20/20 hindsight to see how things would fit together with the Marvel characters to follow. With the MCU, we're able to make those connections and heighten all of the characters' weight."<ref name="CAFVvanlente"/> ===''Marvel's The Avengers Prelude: Fury's Big Week'' (2012)=== {{main|Fury's Big Week}} ''Fury's Big Week'' was written by [[Christopher Yost]] and [[Eric Pearson]],<ref name="WritingBigWeek" /> and was released digitally in eight issues, on February 5 (tying-into the wider ''The Avengers'' marketing campaign, which released a new trailer on that day), February 14, February 21, February 28, March 5, March 12, March 19, and March 26, 2012, respectively.<ref name="BigWeekDownload" /> The comic was published in hard copy as four issues on March 7,<ref name="BigWeek" /> March 21,<ref name="BigWeek2" /> April 4,<ref name="BigWeek3" /> and April 18, 2012,<ref name="BigWeek4" /> respectively. The comic retells the events of ''The Incredible Hulk'', ''Iron Man 2'', ''Thor'', and ''Captain America: The First Avenger'' from the point-of-view of S.H.I.E.L.D., with extra scenes added to weave them all together.<ref name="WritingBigWeek"/> ===''Marvel's The Avengers: Black Widow Strikes'' (2012)=== Natasha Romanoff is taken by surprise in Russia when her target is killed by a "fan" of hers named Sofia. Breaking contact with her S.H.I.E.L.D. superiors, Romanoff begins a competition with Sofia for the mantle of the "Black Widow", discovering that Sofia's employer is selling the parts for a new missile to the Ten Rings. Romanoff tracks Sofia to a missile launch site targeting North Korea, where she stalls long enough for S.H.I.E.L.D. to intervene. Sofia is killed in the ensuing chaos.<ref name="BWS1"/><ref name="BWS2"/><ref name="BWS3"/> Written by Fred Van Lente, with art by Neil Edwards,<ref name="BWSTRIKESwriter"/><ref name="BWSTRIKES"/> the comic (which is set in Romanoff's native Russia) first appeared in copies of the [[Maxim (magazine)|Maxim Russia]] magazine, before being released as a traditional, three-issue comic series<ref name="BWSTRIKESwriter"/> on May 2,<ref name="BWSTRIKES"/> May 16,<ref name="BWSTRIKES2"/> and June 6, 2012,<ref name="BWSTRIKES3"/> respectively. The decision was made to give Romanoff her own comic ahead of ''The Avengers'' because Marvel felt that she "remains the most enigmatic of the Avengers" despite appearing in previous films. Van Lente explained the relationship between ''Black Widow Strikes'' and the films by saying, "This is on the same scale as the Marvel movies. We're working closely with Marvel Studios to have it integrate seamlessly with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Once this is over, they're welcome to use any of my ideas here for a movie." Van Lente took inspiration "from [[Joss Whedon]]'s script for ''Marvel's the Avengers'', which I was lucky enough to read. He does a good job making her inclusion on the team perfectly believable."<ref name="BWSTRIKESwriter"/> ''Black Widow Strikes'' is set between ''Iron Man 2'' and ''The Avengers'', and deals with "some loose ends from ''Iron Man 2'', namely some bootleg Stark technology that Justin Hammer made.<ref name="BWSTRIKESwriter" /> The idea of the "Black Widow" being more of a mantle than the codename of a single agent is further explored in ''Agent Carter'', where an early Black Widow training program is introduced, and in ''[[Avengers: Age of Ultron]]'', where some of Romanoff's training is shown through flashbacks.<ref name="BlackWidowAC" /><ref name="BlackWidowAoU" /> ===''Marvel's Iron Man 3 Prelude'' (2013)=== Tony Stark becomes occupied as he begins construction of [[Stark Tower]] in New York, so James Rhodes picks up where Iron Man left off in the fight against the Ten Rings terrorist organisation.

Rhodey manages to get the tank out of the city before the insurgents detonate its power source, and returns to America in time to find the aftermath of the [[The Avengers (2012 film)#Plot|Battle of New York]].

The comic was published on January 28, 2014, and sees David set up key themes for ''Captain America: The Winter Soldier'': "Black Widow and [[Crossbones (comics)|Rumlow]]...They're okay with doing what they're told. Cap, however, is way more suspicious and wants a clearer idea of what's going on, and is annoyed that S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't big on being forthcoming." On Cap's relationships with new partners Black Widow and Brock Rumlow, "I think he sees her as a valued ally, but [he] tends to be suspicious of the outfit that she works for. He trusts her as someone to have his back in a fight, but I think also believes that if S.H.I.E.L.D. told her to put a knife in his back, she would do so without hesitation, and that can be problematic. Rumlow, meantime, is an eager partner, but Cap doesn't trust him at all. First, there's the suspicion aspect. And second, I think Cap is still gun-shy because the last time he had a partner. Bucky wound up dying—or at least so he believes—and he's not anxious for history to repeat itself."<ref name="Cap2Writer"/> The Zodiac virus featured heavily in the comic was first introduced to the MCU in the [[Marvel One-Shot]] ''[[Agent Carter (film)|Agent Carter]]'', where it is recovered by the titular character for the SSR, the precursor to S.H.I.E.L.D.<ref name="ZodiacAC" /> ===''Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Infinite Comic – Dangerous Prey'' (2014)=== With one [[Infinity Stone]], the Aether, in his possession, the [[Collector (comics)|Collector]] actively searches for the other five, and when he discovers the Orb to be on a desolate planet, he hires the assassin [[Gamora]] to retrieve it.<ref name="GotGIC1"/> Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, who revived the ''[[Guardians of the Galaxy (2008 team)|Guardians of the Galaxy]]'' series in 2008, agreed to write the tie-in comic preludes to the film ''Guardians of the Galaxy'', as a favor to director [[James Gunn (filmmaker)|James Gunn]].<ref name="GuardiansPrelude"/> The Infinite Comic was released on April 1, 2014, and features art by Andrea De Vito.<ref name="GuardiansInfinite" /> ===''Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Prelude'' (2014)=== Issue 1 sees [[Nebula (comics)|Nebula]], while searching for the Orb, remembering growing up with Gamora and their father, [[Thanos]], as well as her recent experiences with [[Ronan the Accuser]].

The characters of the Prelude comics had to fit very cleanly to the movie versions so there wasn't quite the same opportunity for madcap invention...I had to make sure the tone fitted precisely." Lanning said, "There's a definite distinction between the Marvel comic universe and the Marvel Cinematic universe...[but] these characters are not so distant to their comic counterparts as to be unrecognizable, they are more like an alternate version, similar to what the Ultimate Universe did."<ref name="GuardiansPrelude"/> ===''Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron Prelude – This Scepter'd Isle'' (2015)=== Following the Battle of New York, a disgruntled S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist studying Loki's scepter and its connection to the Tesseract is recruited by Hydra to steal the scepter.

It's a solid comic that's overwhelmed by small problems."<ref name="PublicIdentityCBR"/> Nevett, again for Comic Book Resources, gave ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' a much more positive review, giving it 4 out of 5 stars, and particularly praising the artwork, while also appreciating the consistent voice throughout the three stories from writer Casey.<ref name="AGENTS"/> At IGN, Schedeen scored ''First Vengeance'' 7 out of 10, calling the issues "enjoyable methods of passing the time until [Captain America: The First Avenger releases]".<ref name="FirstVengeanceIGN"/> David Hawkins, writing for What Culture, gave the series 3 stars out of 5, calling it "a marketing ploy that has moments of tremendous merit", and singled out Luke Ross' artwork for the third issue as particularly praise-worthy.<ref name="FirstVengeanceWC"/> ''Fury's Big Week'' received praise from CJ Wheeler of Den of Geek, who thought the tone of the series was "a perfect fit for the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far and will get you stoked for what's to come."<ref name="FurysBigWeekDoG"/> Matthew Peterson of Major Spoilers gave ''Black Widow Strikes'' a score of 2.5 stars out of 5, and the verdict "An average tale with no major missteps" – he thought that "Writer Van Lente did all that he could to make this feel cinematic, driven and squarely in the Marvel movie universe", but was somewhat disappointed in the final result, and criticized the shifting art styles, before surmising that "In many ways, it's the ultimate example of a movie tie-in, designed to please fans of both the graphic and live-action Widow without irritation or unwanted questions."<ref name="BlackWidowStrikesMS"/> James Hunt of Comic Book Resources found the ''Iron Man 3 Prelude'' to be "dull and disappointing", calling the building of stakes around untouchable characters, like War Machine, a mistake, and criticizing the "rushed or phoned in" artwork.<ref name="IronMan3PreludeCBR"/> Noel Thorne, writing for What Culture, also found the prelude disappointing, calling it a "cheaply put-together cash-grab" and "not even remotely entertaining", and lamented the lack of actual connections with ''Iron Man 3''.<ref name="IronMan3PreludeWC"/> For IGN, Schedeen gave Issue #1 of the ''Thor: The Dark World Prelude'' a score of 6 out of 10, stating that it "fails to offer a cohesive story or enough compelling material to justify a purchase", and Issue #2 a score of 5 out of 10, calling it "a dull, pointless lead-in to the next Thor movie". He criticized the focus of the series for serving as an explanation for "nitpicky questions" rather than being an actual lead in to the story of the film, and he found the artwork to be "awkward", "flat and dull".<ref name="ThorTheDarkWorldPrelude1IGN"/><ref name="ThorTheDarkWorldPrelude2IGN"/> "Jay" at Comic Frontline had similar feelings, scoring the comic 3 stars out of 5, stating that, though he liked the issues, and "thought they were solid", he felt they were more like "deleted scenes from the Avengers than a Thor prequel", and they "could have been trimmed down into one issue", rather than being "stretched out to fit two issues just to drain fan's pockets". He was more positive about the artwork, however, calling the work of Scot Eaton and Ron Lim "beautiful", and praising the work of inkers Andrew Hennessy and Rick Magyar for making the different artwork appear consistent across issues.<ref name="ThorTheDarkWorldPreludeCF"/> Ian Gowan of ComicSpectrum gave the ''Captain America: The Winter Soldier Infinite Comic'' a rating of 3.5 out of 5, calling it "fun but also [a] little light on story" and stating that it increased his excitement for the movie. He found the artwork "serviceable", but stated that the "colored pencil artwork doesn't work...as well in digital comic as it does in a print comic."<ref name="CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldierInfiniteComicCS"/> Doug Zawisza of Comic Book Resources scored the ''Guardians of the Galaxy Infinite Comic'' 3.5 stars out of 5, stating that "While it doesn't openly spoil anything from the upcoming movie, it does flaunt the cards being held in the movie's hand quite a bit." He found the artwork to be "better than pedestrian", but felt the Infinite Comic format was not used to its full potential.<ref name="GuardiansOfTheGalaxyInfiniteComicCBR"/> A columnist for Cosmic Book News gave an almost entirely positive review of the comic, criticizing only its short length, and highlighting the return of writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning to the Guardians of the Galaxy characters as a particularly praise-worthy aspect of the issues.<ref name="GuardiansOfTheGalaxyInfiniteComicCBN"/> Zawisza, again for Comic Book Resources, had similar feelings about the ''Guardians of the Galaxy Prelude'', giving it 3.5 stars out of 5 as well, believing it was in "the same spirit as the volume of "Guardians of the Galaxy" that inspired the film's cast of characters", and leading him to surmise that he wanted more, as long as Abnett and Lanning would return as writers. He had high praise for the artwork as well, calling it "very well drawn, showcasing Wellinton Alves' ability to craft worlds and create distinguishable characters".<ref name="GuardiansOfTheGalaxyPreludeCBR"/> Schedeen scored ''Ant-Man Prelude'' #1 a 6.8 out of 10, indicating an 'okay' comic, stating that "once you ignore the movie connection and just treat this as an Ant-man comic, it doesn't have a great deal to offer", noting that Sepulveda's artwork is inconsistent, and criticizing the lack of similarity between the characters and their live-action counterparts.<ref name="AntManPreludeIGN1" /> Zawisza scored the issue 3 stars out of 5, saying that Pilgrim "keeps everyone safe", Sepulveda's artwork is "serviceable", and that "this isn't ground-breaking comics, but it doesn't have to be. It's DVD-style bonus material for the most dedicated fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe."<ref name="AntManPreludeCBR" /> For the second issue, Schedeen reiterated his previous sentiments. Calling it "unfulfilling", he scored the issue a 5.8 out of 10.<ref name="AntManPreludeIGN2" /> ==Marvel Cinematic Universe-inspired titles== These comics are simply inspired by the films, and are not considered part of the MCU continuity.<ref name="PilgrimCanon2015" /> {| class="wikitable plainrowheaders" style="text-align:left; width:99%;" |- ! rowspan="2" | Title ! rowspan="2" | Issues ! colspan="2" | Publication date(s) ! rowspan="2" | Writer(s) ! rowspan="2" | Artist(s) |- !
