Comics transport readers to a different world through their graphic storytelling and compelling characters. But, in today’s world, comic book fans aren’t limited to the comics themselves. There are several different ways to enjoy your favorite comic book characters. Viewing comic book characters through different forms of media can help bridge a generational to bring fans of various characters together.

Below, are some of the mediums used to see your favorite comic book characters in action:

Movies

A major outlet for fans of comics has been to go to the movies. In recent years, comic book characters have become major fixtures at the box office. Successful film franchises have been built on such comic book characters as Iron Man®, Batman®, Thor®, Guardians of the Galaxy®, Captain America®, The Avengers®, and Wonder Woman®. The films are among the most anticipated and successful releases each year.

Television

Comic book characters have also found their way onto TV through animated or live-action series. For instance, Marvel® comic book fans that love superheroes like Jessica Jones®, Iron Fist®, Luke Cage®, and Daredevil® can binge stand-alone series for each character on Netflix® as well as a series for their combined team, The Defenders®. Spider-Man®, Batman®, and other characters have also had long-running animated series on cable networks.

Video Games

Most major comic book characters also have video games based on them. This allows fans to assume the role of their favorite heroes and play out their fantasies. Superhero video games date back decades and can be found for every gaming system.

Comic Books

Eventually, someone may become interested enough in a character that they want to go to the material that they originate from: comics. Comic books can be easy, fun reads for anyone who loves the characters they see on TV or in film — and a great way to continue their story rather than rewatching the same episodes or movies.

The best part about having so many options to see your favorite comic book character in action is that in no matter what form he or she comes in, the core of the character remains the same across all forms of media.
