“Avengers…Superheroes and Books”


Today I was listening on the radio that fans of the very popular Superhero movie franchise, of the "The Avengers," are excited regarding the upcoming movie called, "End Game." After the last movie, "Infinity War," everyone including myself are wondering what is going to happen with these Superheroes? Especially, my favorite…Ironman. 



This franchise is clearly a money maker in the film industry. In fact, according to the Huffington Post, “The Marvel film is expected to rake in $200 million to $250 million in its opening weekend.”  Also, there are tickets being sold ahead of time on eBay for the movie that starts on August 26, 2019. At this post the current price is a whopping - $15,000! 
Talk about fan loyalty! Whew! I will pay the normal price thank you very much!

Now, let’s discuss books in the Logue Library
