If there’s any film genre that’s taken the biggest leap in recent decades it’s the comic book movie — from Christopher Nolan bringing his prestige to The Dark Knight trilogy, to Marvel doing the near-impossible and constructing a 19-film cinematic universe within the space of 10 years.
Celebrating the comic book’s incredible variety and range is the latest issue of Empire Classics, spanning the last three decades of big screen adaptations from Tim Burton’s Batman, right up to Black Panther.
It’s your complete guide to the genre, from the camp and quirky 90s, through the genre-changing early Marvel films like Blade and the X-Men series, right up to today’s extended Marvel and DC universes. And it’s not just about the ‘big two’ — there’s also the likes of Sin City and Guillermo Del Toro’s Hellboy II: The Golden Army in there too.
