Marvel March Preview

February's almost finished which means we at the Sci-fi Society are gearing up for our annual Marvel March - a month dedicated to the prestigious comic book publishers and their best franchises. Last year, the screenings revolved around The Avengers with each hero's movie being screened and culminated in a trip to the Irish premiere of Avengers: Assemble. Though the Avengers soaked up much of the limelight, other Marvel franchises were honoured in the Marvel quiz, the X-Men quiz and the competitions we ran throughout the month.

This year, we'll be paying a similar homage (albeit with less of the Avengers this time) with a Marvel screening each week so brace yourselves for some of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
