This article "I Am New York" explores the connection between New York and Marvels Comic books. It explains the relationship New York has with numerous super hero's especially Spider Man. Whedon and Cassaday say that "Spider-Man's comments about a 'whole life' spent in New York, about being 'part of a greater whole' and 'enmeshed,' speak largely to the enduring importance of New York City in the Marvel Universe." You could not find a more perfect quote to specifically explain how much New York and Marvel Comics depend on each other. Later in the article Kirby explains that "This idea of Marvel sutured to the real world through New York has also enabled the easy transition of Marvel product into other visual media, as demonstrated through Sony's highly successful Spider-Man movie franchise." This is another great point and one that just opens more and more points of view that could be looked into on the subject. The friendship between New York and Marvel Comics has made many great thinkers dream.
