| sorry- no cover available! |
This
is the prequel comic that came with admission to the Marvel Universe Live! production
I went to in July. The comic covers the how and why Thor goes in search of Loki
and the Tesseract at the beginning of the show. This comic also features an
anachronism. In the production, Peter Parker presents Tony Stark with a device
called the ‘Lectro Link.’ In the show, this seems to be a completely new and
cool gadget for Tony to play with. But in this comic prelude, Iron Man assigns
Spider-man with the job of figuring out the bugs in its design. So, which was
it?
The
art is very good and clean. There’s not a lot of storyline or dialogue, but it
does flesh out some of the storyline that is missing from the beginning of MUL.
This issue also ties in the Avengers movie with this multi-media event.
I
mentioned this earlier (in July) but I would’ve liked to have the comic before
I went to the show. I think what Marvel should’ve done is when someone buys
their tickets online then they are sent this comic as a teaser. I understand
that if you buy tickets less than 10 days ahead of time, this wouldn’t work and
it was used as a ploy to garner interest in buying a program of the show. That
doesn’t mean I wouldn’t have like to have gotten my hands on this at least more
than 40 minutes before the show started. (I’m usually anti-web comics but in
this case, a code for fans to read the comic beforehand with the promise of a
print copy to pick up at will call would’ve worked just as well for me in this
case.)
