📖 What we are
Movies on Comics is a free, ad-supported, independently-run editorial database covering the full history of comic-book films. Our coverage spans the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the DC Extended Universe, Fox's X-Men franchise, Sony's Spider-Verse, the classic DC Donner-era Superman films, the Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan Batman trilogies, plus international superhero cinema from India (Krrish-verse, Astraverse), Korea, Japan, and China.
We publish original-prose plot summaries, full cast and crew breakdowns, behind-the-scenes trivia, in-universe chronological timelines, character profiles, mini-games, and streaming-availability guides. Our goal is to be the single most useful comic-book cinema resource on the open web.
✍️ Editorial standards
Original prose. Every plot summary on this site is written from scratch by our editorial team. We synthesize widely-known plot facts about each film and express them in our own language. We do not copy phrasing from Wikipedia, fan wikis, official studio synopses, or competitor publications. Plot events themselves are factual matter and not copyrightable; the way one describes them is, and our descriptions are entirely original.
Spoilers and disclosure. Every page that contains plot details includes a clear spoiler warning before the relevant section. Readers who haven't seen a film and don't want it spoiled can safely skip these sections.
Accuracy and corrections. If you spot a factual error on the site, please contact us. We update pages on an ongoing basis and credit corrections in the page's last-updated timestamp.
Sources. Movie metadata (release dates, runtime, production companies, cast lists) is primarily drawn from TMDB, an open community movie database. Box-office figures come from publicly available industry-trade reports. Behind-the-scenes trivia is sourced from director interviews, official Marvel and DC publications, published actor memoirs, and home-video commentary tracks. Original comic-book references are drawn from official Marvel and DC publication histories.
🤝 How we make money
Movies on Comics earns revenue in three ways:
- Affiliate commissions. When a reader clicks a "Where to Watch" button and rents, buys, or subscribes to a service through Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, or other affiliate-program partners, we may earn a small commission. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Affiliate links are always clearly disclosed and never affect our editorial coverage.
- Display advertising. Some pages may carry banner advertisements served through standard ad networks once the site reaches the traffic threshold for partner programs.
- Sponsored content. If we ever publish sponsored content, it will be clearly labeled as such and held to the same factual standard as our editorial coverage.
We do not accept payment in exchange for positive coverage. Our rankings, ratings displayed, and editorial assessments are independent of any commercial relationship.
🎯 What we cover (and don't)
Cinema only. Movies on Comics covers theatrically-released and direct-to-streaming feature films based on or adapted from comic-book source material. We do not cover episodic television series — though we may briefly mention them where they connect to a film's story (Loki Season 1, Hawkeye, etc.).
Comic-book adjacent. We focus on comic-book adaptations specifically. We don't cover original superhero films without comic-book source material (The Incredibles, Hancock, etc.) — though some borderline cases (Glass, Unbreakable) are included for thematic relevance.
Global. We include international comic-book cinema where the source material has comic-book origins: Indian Krrish-verse and Astraverse films, Korean comic adaptations, Japanese manga-to-live-action films, and Chinese comic-book films. Bollywood, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese language films sit alongside Hollywood entries in our database.
