Why Is The Death Of Captain Marvel A Classic Comic Book Story?

Jim Starlin’s graphic novel was a major milestone for the comic book publisher. It was one of their first forays into storytelling beyond their regular monthly comics.

The Death Of Captain Marvel also took on the daunting task of killing off a character that had been established in the Marvel Universe for the better part of three decades.

Death is eventual for all of us, and it’s a difficult subject that the writer/artist handled with elegance and compassion.

What Are The Main Conflicts In Marvel’s Infinity Crossover?

There are three main conflicts ongoing throughout the Infinity story, these conflicts intertwine with each other and that keeps you interested in events throughout the whole story.

    The Avengers against the Builders

This was the conflict that had already begun at the start of Infinity. The majority of the Avengers are already fighting the Builders with their galactic allies, the Galactic Council including the Kree and the Spartoi races.

The Builders are so powerful that the Avengers have to join forces with all the alien empires within the universe to have any hope of winning. The threat of the Builders meant forming an alliance with recent foes the Skrulls.

During the fighting the Avengers show the Galactic Council what they are capable of doing. Other comics are represented by Gladiator from X Men, Kree from Fantastic Four, and Spartoi is from Guardians of Galaxy

    The Illuminati Group

The members of the Illuminati Group are Black Panther, Iron Man, Mr Fantastic, Namor, Dr Strange, Beast and Black Bolt. This group are tasked with stopping any attacks on the Earth whilst the rest of the Avengers are fighting the Builders.

Black Bolt, Black Panther and Iron Man have to lead the fight against Thanos and his forces. The Mad Titan sets his new generals, the Black Order or Cull Obisidian against Earth.

The main part of the storyline is spread across the Avengers and New Avengers series and were written by Hickman. There were more parts to the story told as Crossovers in other comics, and it was also included in the new Mighty Avengers.

It is during such times of danger that the greatest minds among the superheroes get together to find ways to avoid disaster and to win in the end.

    The fight to stop Thanos

The third fight is against Thanos and his forces, who attack Earth to find and take back the infinity gems. The titan had assumed that it would be much easier to do so with most of the Avengers away.

The Builders presented Thanos with the chance he had been waiting for to attack Earth as he knew it now had weaker defensive cover. He had been watching the planet closely ever since the Illuminati had used the Infinity Gauntlet.

Besides the infinity gems, Thanos goes to Earth to track down any of his children who were already there. He kills all the offspring is able to locate. That information was provided in the Thanos Rising story.

Why You Should Read Demon In A Bottle

Why You Should Read Demon In A Bottle

This is a
major turning point in Tony Stark’s life. It gave him more human
qualities than ever before. It also foreshadows his relapse years later,
where he eventually loses his company and sees his friend James Rhodes
donning the Iron Man armour in his place.

Stark
would later regain everything he had lost following a pivotal
confrontation with another rival, Obadiah Stane, in issue #200.

Even
though it isn’t the first time that Marvel approached the topic of
addiction (Peter Parker’s roommate Harry Osborne’s drug addiction was a
plot point in the Amazing Spider-Man #96-98), it was the first time that
such an issue was approved by the Comics Code Authority, which was the
industry’s regulating authority until 2011.

It brought the problem of alcoholism to the mainstream and made more readers realize that no one is immune to the issue.

Demon
In A Bottle showed how addiction affected both Stark in his daily life
and as a superhero, as well of the lives of his friends and fellow
heroes. It also gave addicts hope that they could overcome their demons
just as Stark did.

Disney Rejects Iron Man Alcoholism

Disney Rejects Iron Man Alcoholism Storyline From Iron Man 3

Even
though Tony’s fondness for the bottle was touched upon in Iron Man 2
the ideas from Demon In A Bottle were not explored further. 

Demon In A Bottle Issue 128
Disney executives told Iron Man 3 writers, Drew Pearce and Shane Black, to stay away from the topic for Iron Man 3.

The studio wanted to portray Stark as an industrialist and a workhorse. They also wanted the movie to be a family-friendly film.

The
writers agreed not to approach the topic in the movie but hoped that it
might be addressed at some point later on. It was put on the
back-burner and hasn’t been returned to since.

confront his alcohol problems and acknowledge what it means to be Iron

living the nightlife and drinking heavily. He returns to the office and
engages in an argument with loyal butler Jarvis, one that causes the

In
his drunken state, he ends up doing more harm than good when trying to
move a train car containing toxic gases. He returns to the office and is
confronted by Cabe.

Cabe confides in Stark about the destructive
behaviour she witnessed from her husband. She didn’t want her friend to
go down the same path. Stark agrees to try to change, and Cabe helps him
avoid the temptations of alcohol. It isn’t easy, but Stark succeeds.
Jarvis
eventually returns and asks for his job back. He admits to Tony that he
sold his two shares of Stark Industries stock to pay for his mother’s
mounting medical bills. The shares were owned by a greedy loan shark.

Realizing
that ownership of those shares would give him primary control over his
company, Tony decides to meet the loan shark as Iron Man.

Iron
Man destroys the loan shark’s office until the businessman admits that
he already sold the shares in question. Stark returns home and picks up
the bottle in frustration.
Cabe and Jarvis persuade him to put the bottle down and continue his fight to regain sobriety for the ones who care about him.
