Win\u2019s Christmas Gift Recommendation: Compulsive Marvel Madness \u20268\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a few half-hearted and ultimately abortive attempts in the 1960s followed by a more strategic but no more enduring attempt at the close of the 1970\u2019s, Marvel finally secured a regular presence on prose bookshelves in the 1990s with a series of hardback novels. Since then, fans who want to supply their own pictures to gripping MU exploits have enjoyed a successive string of text thrills in all formats.<\/p>\n

British publisher Titan Books has been supplying many such powerhouse prose publications and here caters to the interests of fans brought in by movies like Captain Marvel<\/strong>, Avengers: Endgame<\/strong> and The Marvels<\/strong> and lifelong devotees of the ever-enlarging continuity in a gripping yarn set firmly in comic book continuity.<\/p>\n

When half-Kree\/half human superhero Carol Danvers<\/em> is asked by token hero guy Tony Stark<\/em> (in both annoying genius mode and as Iron Man<\/strong>) to investigate a family problem besetting third-generation coding prodigy Mara Melamed<\/em>, she uncovers a cyber threat to the entire world apparently gamed out by leading braintrust DigiTech and a viper\u2019s nest of family betrayals.<\/p>\n

As corporate skulduggery escalates to hostile surveillance, disinformation, blackmail, murder, and indiscriminate attacks by top-secret ordnance, Danvers calls in a team of trusty female super-friends (Jessica Drew\/Spider-Woman<\/em>, Jenn Takeda\/Hazmat<\/em>, Monica Rambeau\/Spectrum<\/em>) and after much dangerous investigation learns an old enemy is behind everything\u2026 or is she?<\/p>\n

Written by Gilly Segal (I\u2019m Not Dying With You Tonight<\/strong>, Why We Fly<\/strong>) this Titanic tome offers strong, accurate characterisation, fast-paced, non-stop super-powered conflict, perplexing mystery, ever-ratchetting tension and even a few laughs to make Shadow Code<\/strong> an ideal diversion between all those comics and live action adventures\u2026
