Marvel Comics is set to publish two in-continuity comics for the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the form of prequel comic books for Black Panther and Avengers: The Infinity War.

This will not be the first time Marvel has published such comics though, as with the current Thor: Ragnarok, they often just adapt previous movies that tie into an upcoming one, such as Captain America: Civil War ahead of Spider-Man Homecoming, and the current adaptation of The Incredible Hulk ahead of Thor: Ragnarok.
