Coming meticulous investigative reporting with entertaining story -telling, COMIC WARS exposes the actions and motives of two Goliath-style corporate raiders (Ronald Perelman and Carl Icahn), two innovative Davids (Avi Arad and Ike Perlmutter), and some of the world's biggest banks. It is the rollicking true tale of a unique Wall Street showdown, of a surprising emergency from the ashes, and of Marvel's triumphant reinvention as the producer of hit Hollywood movies: the Spider-Man films, Iron-Man, The Hulk, Captain America, the X-Men series including Wolverine, and the crowning glory of The Avengers. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Perelman, Ronald. 600 10 Icahn, Carl C.,|d1936- 610 20 Marvel Comics Group|xHistory. 650 0 Comic books, strips, etc.|zUnited States|xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Electronic books. 710 2 hoopla digital. 914 MWT11732041
