10 Perfect Marvel Comics Stories Phase 4 Must Adapt
7. Secret Invasion
Marvel Comics
Secret Invasion isn't really all that good of a comic. It has a killer premise - that much is true - but the execution of the storyline in the mainstream Marvel Universe was flawed, to say the least.
That shouldn't put off attempts to make it happen on the big screen, though. After all, the actual Civil War comic book was pretty mediocre once the initial spectacle of seeing heroes face off against each other wore off, and the film that bore its name was fantastic in a whole manner of different ways.
With the announcement that Captain Marvel would be facing off against the Skrulls in her solo movie having set our speculative sights firmly on who could - or couldn't - already be a Skrull, it's clear that it's a topic worth exploring. We'd be keeping an eye on Nick Fury in particular...
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
