Marvel has a long history of tie-in comics related to the films, and sometimes they're pretty essential reading. The Doctor Strange Prelude comics, for example, really fleshed out the mystical corner of the MCU - including giving us the backstory of Kaecilius, the villain. Unfortunately, though, this year's preludes have seemed to be surprisingly tame. The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Prelude was nothing more than a comic book version of the first film, and the Spider-Man: Homecoming Prelude is more of the same.

If the Terrigen Mists continued to spread, then the mutant race would become extinct; if the Terrigen was destroyed, then the Inhuman race would become extinct.
