History

The reality of the comics inspired by, but not canonical to, the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Notes

In the early years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Comics published numerous comic book titles that were meant to take place in this reality, including prequels and stories that followed the adventures of the heroes between the events of the films. Over time, Marvel Studios' approach to the tie-in material and the MCU continuity has changed, resulting in decanonization of some of these comics. In 2012, a red stamp was introduced to distinguish canonical stories from those that were inspired by the films but were not part of their world;^[1] pre-stamp series that are considered MCU canon are Iron Man: I Am Iron Man, Iron Man 2: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Iron Man 2: Public Identity and Captain America: First Vengeance.^[2]^[3] Additionally, any MCU comic released under the Infinity Comic banner is a part of MCU canon.^[4]
- Jessica Jones #1 doesn't have the red stamp on the cover and was not included in Marvel Cinematic Universe: The Marvel Comics Omnibus #1, but Marvel confirmed that it does take place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.^[5]
- As such, the following comics are split into this reality:
- Even though these comics are no longer considered canon to Earth-199999, most of them still fit into continuity. There are some exceptions though: second story in Captain America & Thor!: Avengers #1 was ignored and contradicted by Thor: The Dark World, as was Nick Fury: Spies Like Us by Captain Marvel.
- Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas was also intended to take place within the continuity of the Iron Man film, a fact that was confirmed by Tom Brevoort.^[6] Adi Granov, however, stated in an interview with Comic Book Resources in 2008 that Viva Las Vegas is standalone and independent of any continuity, with references to the film being just Easter eggs.^[7] After a while, it was fully retconned out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and placed in its own reality, designated as Earth-80734 by The Appendix to the Handbook of the Marvel Universe.
