Marvel and Visa have teamed up to give readers a free online Marvel comic that teaches about money skills. I love comics, and I love when writers and artists make an issue something that’s enjoyable to read. The writer, James Asmus, even included some humor.
You can read the comic online or print it out. It features the Avengers and Spider-Man. Good on Marvel for this and the other free comics they’ve provided over the years on issues such as child abuse.
There’s also a free downloadable/printable budget worksheet to help readers understand budgeting.
“Konnichi-wa, minna-san! We gots a Varcarel Jade update today ’cause it’s Monday and that’s when we do one of our comic updates. We gots another comic that’s called Fury of the Venom Legion but that one is updated on Thursday. Did you know that there’s a site called The Web Comic List that tells aaaaaaaall about our comics? You can even vote for us and they gave us a number button too!”
“That’s our ranking out of almost 11,000 comics.”
“Yay for us! If you read comics on The Web Comic List be sure to add our comics to your favorites and visit us every week for new pages! Ja!”
“Talk to me.”
“Varcarel Jade Page 18 is up!”
“Wicked.”
OH my gosh.
LOVE for the book. And so much fear for the idea of a movie... but it's the kind of book that has lots of stuff that can be interpreted without ruining the central theme. How cool. And Bill Murray!? Wow.
I think Murray is an inspired choice for the corrupt politician/mayor. They will need strong leads for the kids to balance him though.
Very cool. But I confess I'm a little puzzled how playing the Mayor of Ember is "starring" in the film. While the Mayor is important to the story, I don't think he really has a very big part personally, unless they've beefed up the part quite a bit.
I loved the book, too, but I always fear when I hear that they're making a movie out of a book I loved.
Murray has been in more ensemble movies recently, can't think of the one that was filmed in Houston...it was a offbeat school story...and then in the Japan one (having mental blocks about the titles) he was low key. I agree, I hope they can keep the focus on the kids and the story. He could be overwhelming...
