If you have Amazon Prime, you have access to Amazon Kindle which is Amazon’s e-reader library. Amazon has not forgotten its roots as a book seller because it has more than six million e-books available in the United Sates alone. Many of these are free to read for Amazon Prime members and that’s what this particular post is about.
With the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) doing so well, I wanted to recommend three Marvel comic collections that are available free to Amazon Prime members (in a future post I’ll recommend DC comic collections). Again, all are free to Prime members and tie into the MCU. Oh, by the way, you don’t need a Kindle to read these books, just download the Kindle app for your phone or tablet and link it to your Amazon Prime account and you’re all set.
1. With the Captain Marvel movie coming out early next year, this is a great time to read a wonderful collection that really dives into who Carol 
Danvers aka Captain Marvel really is. Captain Marvel Vol. 1: Higher, Further, Faster, More (Captain Marvel (2014-2015) is exactly the collection that satisfies that niche.
Written by Kelly Sue DeConnick and illustrated by David Lopez, we get to see a Carol Danvers, fully formed as Captain Marvel. She is comfortable with her powers and her responsibilities and most importantly, she is not perfect. She makes mistakes, but is quick to correct them once she discovers them.
As she attempts to right a wrong done by an intergalactic council to a people on an outlying planet, we meet her surprising love interest, the Guardians of the Galaxy and Carol’s cat, Chewie. This book shows the Captain Marvel we hope we get in the movies.
2. We’re all familiar with the story of Peter Parker being bitten by a radioactive spider and becoming Spider-Man. Most of us know that his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy was killed during Spider-Man’s battle with the Green Goblin (The Amazing 
Spider-Man #121 (June 1973)). All of this happened on our Earth. However, on an alternate Earth (Earth-65), it is high school student Gwen Stacy who was bitten by a radioactive spider granting her spider powers. She becomes that world’s Spider-Woman.
Gwen has a relationship with that world’s Peter Parker and also plays in an all-girl band appropriately named, The MaryJanes. But on prom night, Gwen Stacy and Spider-Woman’s world is changed forever when she accidently kills Parker and is hunted for Parker murder. With the movie release of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse this month, it’s a great time to rediscover this super-hero. There are two collections available for free, both written by Jason Latour and illustrated by Robbi Rodriguez. Start with Spider-Gwen Vol. 0: Most Wanted? (Spider-Gwen (2015)) and finish with Spider-Gwen Vol. 1: Greater Power (Spider-Gwen (2015-2018)). You won’t be disappointed.
3. The last recommendation features the MCU’s Mad Titan, Thanos. In a 
collected series of stories across the Marvel comic world, we see Thanos fight and fight along aside various Avengers and Guardians. When I say various, I mean various. Thanos fights Iron Man, the Thing and Drax the Destroyer. He fights Black Widow & Daredevil, Moondragon and Captain Marvel (not Carol Danvers). Thanos fights alongside Gamora and Adam Warlock against his brother Magus. Finally, Spider-Man and the Thing team up with the Avengers to defeat Thanos in another story.
Two caveats here: 1) This is NOT so much a story series as it is a collection of Marvel stories from 1963-1972 featuring Thanos and; 2) This is NOT about the Infinity Gauntlet or the infamous finger “snap.” That said, Avengers vs. Thanos is a fun read, but not an essential read to understand the current state of the MCU.
All three of these books are available free for Amazon Prime members and all three are worthy of being in your library.
