the age old rivalry between the comic book giants is renewed here. over the past five decades they have manged to be at the top.but
with their reboots will they be able to remain the undisputed creators of every
child's fantasy?? both the reboot's marvel!now and the new 52 have been about redesigning
their respective universe's. the rivalry took to comic books when dc and marvel organized a massive comic book event for the first time ever.this crossover event saw the marvel characters beat the dc charcters 3-2. the result was decided by the fans who cast their votes
set after the event flashpoint the new 52 has gone into its
stride with darker stories and mind-blowing drawings while marvel just
undergoes sort of a transition after the event x-men vs avengers.
the new52 has seen dc rectify the problem of having a very
few recognised teams on their side compared to marvels avengers, x-men and fantastic
four. with no room for expansion among any of their teams, dc has made sure that
there is no room for confusion which led
to the making of crisis on infinite earth's
the new 52 also see's the dark knight take over two of the
worlds most diabolical teams:the justice league and the batman incorporated. cashing in on the batman trilogy of movies,dc has gone to the extent of providing a comic
series for each and every member of the bat family while batman himself stars
in batman and the detective comics. justice league got a boost with the promise
of trinity wars from the beginning. this inturn helped dc with the inception of
justice league of america, justice league dark and the league of super
villians. the initial arcs from batman the death of the family and the night of
the owls only strengthened batman's grip over the pole position as the biggest
superhero of all time. many would have wanted to see heath leadger portray the
role of the joker from the death in the family had he been alive. with grant
morrison( the only guy who managed to kill batman and get away with it) writing
the all new action comics, the release of the much awaited nolan's man of steel
and by dating the princess of amazon superman's not far away from dethroning
the knight. with its affiliation with the vertigo comics(boasts of an incredible line of comics with watchmen, v for vendetta) dc has they have managed to reach out to the adult audience as well
marvel!now is set in the aftermath of the a vs x. the series itself being a major hit ,the new marvel promises a lot for the younger generations.but, with jean grey and the professor already dead the relaunch of marvel's best selling series faced a huge task. the legendary jean grey no longer lives. with the x-men divided in opinion and being shown as their darker sides marvel has abandoned the x-men ship and taken to avengers for help. the entire team x family has been distributed with wolverine, rogue and havoc joining the already converted witch at the uncanny avengers. with cyclops starting his own school with emma frost and magneto on his side kitty is left with the old school and the responsibility of taking care of the young time traveled original x-men in the all new x-men. the all new x-men also oversee's the return of mystique in a negative role. with sabertooth on her side setting up the cyclops against cyclops she does what she does best, create havoc. uncanny avengers starts with magneto turning his back on the leader cyclops due to his incompetence. the battle of atom certainly promises a lot with three generations of mutants facing against each other
meanwhile the other half of the marvel universe has their own problems with new born mutants. captain america forms the uncanny avengers with havoc as the leader while simultaneously heading both the avengers and the new avengers. the age of ultron returned pride to marvel comics with a mind blowing tale of the avengers. with new events predicted in the future of both avengers and the x-men marvel might become the force they once were.the infinty event was launched by marvel with the sole purpose to counter the sales of the trinity wars.with the trinity wars and the supervillian month of dc and infinty and battle of atom of marvel comic book fans are in for a good summer
