Rise of the Superheroes is a "good enough" look into the history of comic book movies if you have a couple of hours to kill.

It covers a lot of ground from the 40s Batman serial series, all the way up to 2018s Black Panther, and has some notable comic book alumni amongst the interviewers, including the likes of Chris Claremont, Chuck Dixon, Scott Beauty, and Neal Adams.

The problem is however, a genre as big as comic book movies needs a big budget documentary to go with it. It would be nice to see some of the actors involved in the interviews, it would benefit from flashier graphics, it would benefit from a longer run time or even a series to properly explore the ever growing number of properties making the jump from page to screen.
The boom of comic movies from X-Men (2000) onwards is all crammed into the last 30 minutes as the feature rushes to wrap up, and as a result, Rise of the Superheroes doesn't feel that comprehensive, and offers nothing new to an audience who will likely already know what is talked about here.

It's an easy and casual watch if you have an interest in the subject, but nothing more.

I have not read a lot of comics. I did get very into Valerian and Laureline and the new Labyrinth comic, but both I got into because of already being a fan of the story from the movie versions. Getting into this media, both of my brother (avid comic book readers) each suggested some comics for me. My younger brother suggested saga. I really enjoyed reading it. I found the story, style, voice, magic, and characters to all work great. I will continue reading this series soon!

Hot Women Kicking Ass
Super hot women kicking ass is what makes this movie good. Once the story leaves the island, the film gets slightly less interesting. The story is a little better than what you typically get from comic book movies, but nothing special.
  
It's a wonderful time to be a TV-binging comic book fan. In fact, if you were a little tactical about your viewing habits, you could probably fill an 'all the soap operas' shaped hole in your schedule every day with the stuff of capes, cowls and crime-fighting.

While we're waiting for the returns of such shows as Luke Cage and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., there are plenty of other new comic book that are on the way or in-development for later releases:

Better than the first one now that they've clearly found their voice. RyanReynolds was fantastic as was Domino. Apparently Josh Brolin can't stop himself from playing awesome comic book characters. The gags are hilarious and the final montage is especially tasty. Plus, it actually managed to have some heart.

The size and price might deter some, but these comic strips are so funny. Whether you get the smaller collections or spring from this set, read and laugh.
