10 Comic Book Tie-Ins That Made Great Movies Better

10. Guardians Of The Galaxy Prelude #1

This is a bit of a cheat, but the MCU tie-in comics have been such a mixed bag that depending on which one, it could either go into the digital trash or be packaged perfectly with the home release of the films.

The one that really made a great film even greater, however, is Guardians of the Galaxy Prelude #1, which expands on Gamora and Nebula growing up as the daughters of Thanos. Though the piece focuses on the relationship between the "sisters", as Thanos pitted them against each other over and over again, it also has the hidden point of showing Thanos' love for Gamora.

That backstory is mostly said in the first GOTG movie but seeing it play out elevates not just those films, but also the emotive nature of Thanos' acquisition of the last stone in Avengers: Infinity War.
