I don't. Not one single person I've met. Ever.

Most films used to be made from novels because studios believed they had a built in audience. I'll guess that not many people knew who Doctor Strange was before he was luzzed at them by the marketers.

I've tried a few. It simply does not compute for me. And the timelines are so all over the place and incomprehensible that it feels like you're not invited to the club.

I challenge anyone to look up a comic book character biography and not have their eyes glaze over at the 500th time the character dies having been murdered by fifty of its own fetuses in hell or something.

How did they end up taking over the world?
