This Marvel Fan Art Is Genuinely Impressive
Whether or not one is a dedicated Disney nerd or not can often be irrelevant when it comes to whether or not one is also a huge fan of Marvel. Marvel has existed outside being owned by Disney for quite a long time itself, but that doesn't mean what Disney has been able to create while owning Marvel isn't totally phenomenal.
A lot of Disney fans are also Marvel fans and surely that has a lot to do with the diverse characters who have rich stories and relatable, human experiences. Marvel is truly a universe of incredible story telling.
Serena is an Italian artist who is definitely a huge fan of Marvel, especially Loki, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Bucky Barnes. She's also a huge fan of Supernatural, Star Wars, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, and Pirates of the Caribbean.
She has completed hundreds of commissioned pieces of work, often for people who share similar fandom tastes and is currently working on her own web-comic. She's definitely an artist you'd want to keep an eye on, particularly if you're a fan of Marvel fan art!
As an example, we've browsed her galleries and selected some seriously awesome examples for you to gush over. Check them out!

LadyMintLeafWhen it comes to Marvel's relationship with the character Loki, you'd be hard pressed not to call it interesting. Some version of the character first appeared in the Marvel universe in August of 1964 in Venus, a romance comic (if you didn't know, Marvel had quite the run with romance comics for awhile... now you know!)
The version of Marvel's Loki we know and love first appeared in October of 1962, Journey into Mystery #85. In 2009, Loki was ranked as IGN's eighth-greatest comic book villain of all time and again featured in IGN's list at the fourth-greatest comic book villain of all time in 2014.

Bucky Barnes was originally introduced in Captain America Comics #1 in March of 1941 as Captain America's sidekick. Interestingly, though, over the years, Bucky's name and costume has been featured as a variety of other characters in Marvel comics over the years.
There is even a point when Steve Rogers is presumed dead and Bucky Barnes temporarily assumes the role of Captain America himself!

There have been times where Stan Lee has made it clear he dislikes the idea of kid sidekicks. At some point in the 1970's, he said that that "one of my many pet peeves has always been the young teenage sidekick of the average superhero."
The Marvel Universe has virtually no young sidekicks, "as no responsible hero wants to endanger a minor in similar fashion." We all remember the complicated relationship between Tony Stark and Peter Parker in the MCU...
