Maus written by Art Spiegelman was the most intriguing comic book that I have ever read, I did not want to let go once I got a hold of it. I soon believed after reading a few pages, how important it is to not judge a book by its cover.

for a character, they must understand everything about them and consider which parts they want to individualize. Nick Spencer has been a writer for Marvel since 2015. His current string of Captain America comics is unconventional, where the hero who is meant to be a “star-spangled symbol of morality, selflessness, and freedom, is now one of the Marvel universe’s most insidious villains” and working for an evil group called Hydra.

To the Hero Ever since I was a little boy, I’ve been a huge fan of comic book superheroes. Anybody that knows me could tell you that. I grew up watching the Spider-Man animated series, I had almost every X-Men action figure, and wore so many Batman t-shirts.

Superheroes were there for me when I had no else, and I truly…
