If you want to have collectibles sitting on your shelves of your favorite comic book characters as they appear in video games, Funko has you covered via their Pop! vinyl line. First, there was the Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite series (in the words of Hans Gruber, I have two myself), then came a small series inspired by Guardians of…
Books are something I rarely cover or review, but like in the case of WRONG! Retro Games, You Messed Up Our Comic Book Heroes! by Chris Baker, I make the exception when a book addresses what is covered on this site: Video games based on comic book properties. I was made aware of the existence of a…
Back in early 2012 when I started Comic Gamers Assemble, one of the games I was reporting on was the progenitor free-to-play Marvel title, Marvel: Avengers Alliance that initially launched on Facebook but has since been ported to mobile devices and even received a sequel this year, Marvel: Avengers Alliance 2.

Despite what your feelings on Marvel’s mobile video game portfolio, personally I wish they would make traditional games like WB Games does with their Arkham franchise, you can’t deny that their offerings have not been diverse: There’s a puzzle/RPG hybrid in Marvel Puzzle Quest; A fighting game in Marvel Contest of Champions and an action-RPG in Marvel Future Fight among many others. Now…

It’s an incredibly simple, yet…
Say what you will about Marvel’s reliance on mobile games being less compelling than say, the brilliant Batman: Arkham Knight, but their ability to update their current slate of games to what’s going on in the world of comics is pretty amazing.
