My Ranking of the MCU's Phase One Films
With Infinity War now out on DVD, I thought it would be a great time to look back at the road that led us here. After I watched Avengers: Infinity War, I rewatched the entire MCU from the very beginning. I will admit I did it in release order and not chronological order (you can eviscerate me in the comment section below). During my two-month rewatch of the MCU, I came to realize how much Phase One is overlooked now.

The Story That Merges Cultures
A couple years ago, I would’ve told you I was a closeted anime fanatic afraid to express his ideas to the outside world. Afraid of being called out for being “out of the norm,” and trying something different. It was childish, and I was a kid cut me a break.

The Coming of the Final Host: The Story of the Dark Celestials
Four billion years ago, an Alpha Celestial known as The Progenitor crossed paths with a swarm of cosmic insects called the Horde. Becoming infected with these space bugs, the omnipotent space god grew ill and crash landed on the planet that would become Earth. The Progenitor died a slow and painful death, bleeding and vomiting its infected fluids all over the surface of a young Earth. The cosmic vomit mixed with the primordial stew, spawned more of the Horde, as well as creating life on Earth and turning the planet into a treasure trove of super-powered individuals.

'Thanos Rising'
The character Thanos is one of the most feared villains in all of Marvel comics. Thanos is the same character who uses the Infinity Gauntlet to wipe out half of the living things in the universe at a snap of his fingers. Many people do not know what made this charter into who he is. Thanos Rising was a five-issue comic book series written by Jason Aaron and published by Marvel Comics. Aaron tells the story of how Thanos, an alien from the planet Titan, began as an innocent child who is disgusted by the idea of dissecting animals in his class and then became a calculating killer nicknamed "The Mad Titan." This series has elements of a Greek tragedy. Many factors make Greek tragedies such as the tragic hero, recognition, suffering, and a Greek chorus (Webster).

Reading Manga—'A Silent Voice: Volume One'
A Silent Voice is an emotional story about a boy who is looking for forgiveness from a girl he bullied in elementary school, because she was deaf. The story shows Shoya as he was when he was younger and how he changes in to the person that he is. Written by Yoshitoki Oima, the manga was nominated for the 2016 Eisner Awards, and reading the first volume, you can clearly see why.

No Man's Land
If you know anything about me, you know I love comics, specifically Batman comics. My all time favorite comic book series is the No Man’s Land series. This comic, along with The Dark Knight and Knight Fall, helped inspire the The Dark Knight Rises, which is one of my favorite comic book based trilogies.

5 Iconic Elements Comics Borrowed from Their Own Adaptations
The success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been bleeding back into the original comics universe for years now, with mixed results. The Guardians of the Galaxy got quick and dirty redesigns to match their first movie as soon as it came out and the less said about the convoluted hoops Marvel jumped through to have a Samuel L Jackson-esque black Nick Fury in their main comics universe the better (especially given they had such a character, the one the movies copied even, in their dying Ultimate Universe, just waiting for a lifeboat over).
