Richly illustrated with concept and keyframe art, props and costumes, this exhibition publication features extensive film notes and production stills from all the films, from Iron Man 2008 to the Queensland-filmed Thor: Ragnarok 2017. Essays by Roxane Gay, Glen Weldon and Amanda Slack-Smith - together with an introduction by Taika Waititi - explore the Marvel Cinematic Universe from the perspective of comic book writer, pop culture critic, film curator and film director. These unique perspectives examine the visually astounding, keenly self-aware and intricately interlinked narratives of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, narratives which routinely confound super hero conventions, and which have produced some of the biggest grossing films of all time. Softcover and hardcover versions each have their own unique cover art by renowned Marvel artists Ryan Meinerding and Andy Park.
