Marvel Publishing, Inc., commonly referred to as Marvel Comics, is an American company that publishes comic books and related media. Marvel Entertainment, Inc., a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company, owns Marvel Publishing (since 2009).
Marvel counts among its characters such well-known properties as Spider-Man, Iron Man, the X-Men, Wolverine, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Captain America, Daredevil, Thor, the Sub-Mariner, the Punisher, Ghost Rider, Doctor Strange, and the Silver Surfer; antagonists such as Dr. Doom, the Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, Venom, Magneto, Sabretooth, Galactus, the Red Skull, the Kingpin, and Bullseye; and others. Most of Marvel's fictional characters operate in a single reality known as the Marvel Universe, with locales set in real-life cities such as New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
The comic book arm of the company started in 1939 as Timely Publications, and by the early 1950s had generally become known as Atlas Comics. Marvel's modern incarnation dates from 1961, with the company later that year launching Fantastic Four and other superhero titles created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and others. Marvel has since become the largest American comic book publisher, surpassing its longtime competitor DC Comics.

A decently funny book, but definitely had a for kids feel to me. If you like Spider-Man and I'll assume especially the new show (which I don't watch) you'll probably get more out of it than I did. Still, an enjoyable read that only really falls flat when you can tell it's trying too hard.
Reúne varias historias cortitas, con un tono desenfadado y muy cómico. Es un tie-in de un dibujo animado, así que habría que ser bruto para esperar una obra de arte; traducción, me gustó mucho, y se lee en un rato.
Sam is really getting into the comic books now. I love that he wants to read in the car and asks "Can we read the whole thing?" when we get ready to read together at bedtime.
I like how these comic aren't too serious because nowadays every comic seems to be too dark and depressing. Some stories were a bit boring, but mostly this was funny and well drawn.
