I woke up today and chose Violence
As you should
I wish you the best of luck, Mr. Wick
Yep
Ong not violence true
@@Syphilon I GOT THIS!
I’m not going to lie, DC made the reverse flash so petty that he became one of my favorite fictional characters, because of how hilarious some of the petty stuff he did are. It’s more dark humor like, but going back in time to prevent Barry from catching a ball, and pushing him down the stairs, just because, it’s hilarious.
Same Reverse flash and the Green Goblin are my favorite villains absolute menace those two
@@theoutsiderjess1869 true.
My favorite thing to say about RF,is pointing out how the famous "it was me barry" joke is completely in character for him to do just ti spite Barry
@@sokratikas I remember a meme video of the “it was me Barry”, with him talking about making Barry think that he came at the touch of a woman, the worst part is the fact, I could actually see him doing that.
Dc's biggest mistake imo was not making the reverse flash more of a doctor doom. Like him growing into a justice league level threat the events they could've done with him would've been insane(e.g: like carnage right now, magneto, the thinker, braniac etc)
To this day, I still think its weird how in marvel, many of the superheroes are located in new york yet they barely interact with one another
Pictures this deardevil making a big fuss over a villain for 3 issues only for a random hero to pass by and just end it all in an instant and continue on as if it was no big deal
These characters are separated/bearly interact for a reason
The reason being weight classes
Bruh, these are comics. The more you think of them, the more none of it makes sense. You just have to go with it. That's the point.
My problem with new york isnt that its that everything is set on it
Its such a generic setting at least Gotham is a weird mixture of 40s new york, brutalism and gothic architecture
@@ryice944 "deardevil" I know what you meant, but that would be an awesome name for a femme fatale with super senses.
Facts they need to start haveing the heros move to different states or something
Even though I’m a DC fan and am happy that they’re in a good place rn, I want marvel to be in a good place too. Those characters deserve great writing just like the DC characters and it’s a shame that marvel especially Spider-Man is getting dragged through the dirt like that.
Dc is in a good place? hmm tell that to tim drake or alan scott lol nah man dc isnt any better then marvel anymore and they dont care either
@@garycannon4644 idk what you mean. Stories are good in all the titles at the moment. Alan Scott is in a very good place but Tim has been shafted for a while. It’s almost like there’s an agenda behind your thinking
man it wasnt that long ago when we were saying this in reverse. Marvel and DC really just switches that take turns topping the other.
@@coin2094funny none can just do good at the same time lol
"deserve great writing just like the DC characters" absolutely ridiculous...last time a DC Comic was better than what Marvel brought at the same Time there was still a 19 in the beginning of the Date Year!
To me, DC have the definitive heroes and it sucks how they just keep getting terrible to mediocre live action films.
When my dad was serving overseas, DC cartoons were basically my second dad. Taught me important life lessons and to always treat people with respect.
Lies again? DC Marvel Black White
Well DC live actions have been getting good again
can u stop with your stupid criticism marvel and dc are both superior since i own there movies and poster and encyclopedia books so pls keep your criticism to yourself!
Yeah but not like MCU@@joshuagregoire9504
What sums up one of my main problems with Marvel for a long time now is their lack of direction. It doesn’t feel like they know what they’re doing currently or what they want to do in the future.
They also do movie synergy way too much. There’s a ton of past examples that’ve been talked about before, but the most recent example that I know of is Ms. Marvel. She’s killed and in one of the quickest revivals I’ve seen, she’s made a Mutant and shipped off to the X-Men to fit with the MCU making her a Mutant. What’s the point of this? The X-Men are already bloated to hell with characters competing for panel time. Kamala will probably fall into the background of characters who barely get any focus or development. I don’t see how this could possibly benefit her character in the long run.
Edit: I don’t think the main problem with Marvel comics and the MCU is a lack of inter connectivity. The problem is bad writing. That’s the core of every problem with the MCU narrative wise. All of the Guardians films have pretty much nothing to do with the larger MCU, but I’ve seen a ton of people rate each of them as some of their favorite superhero movies. That’s because they have great writing with a compelling emotional core.
As for the comics, the problem with them is also bad writing and as I said above, a lack of direction. Jed McKay’s Moon Knight to my knowledge didn’t have much to do with the larger universe, yet people love it. Why? Because it has good writing and art.
000😊
I feel like Marvel's comics are insanely directionless and beholden to synergy as well. In some ways the dip in the MCU's quality now seems to make the books sag along with it. I really wish Marvel would let these books stand as their own universe.
Marvel has better comics. They develop their characters more than dc’s
@@Bungycb I heavily disagree but it’s completely subjective, so I’ll just agree to disagree.
@@Bungycb fangirl spotted in his 8th thread
I’m just not happy with how Marvel is handling characters like Spider-Man or Ms. Marvel w/ such disrespect.
Bruh, I feel like they have been on that disrespect train since Civil War 2…. Like they made the New Captain Marvel… and her first few issues slapped so hard… and then they made her be a crazy psycho in CW2….. I feel like they are lacking powerhouses and lovers of the characters… it just feels like DC has the writer working on projects they care about with a higher level of consistency.
RIP Comicstorian The Legend! 💯🔥
I really love both Marvel and DC, but I think that Marvel really gotta get new people in editorial. A lot of decisions made ESPECIALLY in Spider-Man comics are being heavily influenced by editorial. I think they should give the writers more free reign over their own stories with minimal direction given. I really want them to just hit the reset button like DC does every 15 years or so to keep telling more unique stories that don’t have to deal with 80 years of continuity. That’s why I really loved Ultimate Spider-Man. The rest of ultimate was too weird and edgy for general audiences so I think they could do something similar to ultimate and just not make captain America allergic to French people.
you know i've heard some people say, defending that moment in the ulitmates, "what's so wrong with characters being patriotic."
@@johnthai6188the French suck.
Marvel has better comics. Only spider-man is bad
@@Bungycb since 2006 pretty much yeah, other than a couple good stories here and there. I still think an ultimate universe v2 to be separate from the main continuity would be cool
spiderman literally carries marvel atm, and sadly its starting to get to excessive, people will get sick of so much spiderman soon
Totally agree with you benny! WHAT THE HELL IS MARVEL DOING!?!?!?! I love both DC and MARVEL, but MARVEL has been dropping the ball. A Wolverine army?! How are they not doing something more with this in terms of other superheroes getting involved. If they found out that beast has lost it and created an army of wolverines, there would some great opportunity there. Anyway keep up the awesome work comicstorian team!
But what about 2 Wolverine armies?
Wolverine army just sounds like more spider-man clone saga bs. Hard pass.
I think part of the issue is that some characters are just too powerful for the story they want to write, so they either have to exclude them completely, come up with some excuse for their lack of involvement, or hard nerf/plot bull-shite to make them lose to whatever big bad is the flavor of the season. Like what happened to Sentry during the whole Knull symbiote invasion. Sentry was supposed to be in his void fused state during that time period, but the writer(s) weren't caught up on the Sentry and didn't know that.
Then, with how powerful Sentry is by default, there's absolutely NO way he would've been defeated and subsequently killed so quickly. Hell, unless Knull suppressed his powers somehow, Sentry could've just reconstructed himself for that matter. Molecule manipulation on a level that can overwhelm molecule man is something he's capable of. So yeah, that quick instakilll from just tearing him in half made no sense.
@@SeraphimxSins I think they just wanted to do a callback to when Sentry did that in the New Avengers to Carnage, but it made absolutely no sense.
@@keonklanon comic readers giving their opinions is always so entertaining
I like DC better because they weren't really born with their powers, they had to EARN THEM VIA STRUGGLE, LESSONS OF LIFE AND PAIN. They're more RELATABLE 🧿🧘🏽♀️
As someone who just returned to reading comics after like 4 years, inline events help me discover what storylines I actually want to follow, and also helps me understand whats going on in the current comics. Right now, I’m only reading Moon Knight and as a casual comic reader I don’t even know where to start at all with the current Marvel comics. On the other hand, it’s really easy to see Knight Terrors #1 on the wall and be like “hey I liked that character,” pick up an issue, and then all of a sudden start buying a punchline comic even though i dont even know who punchline is.
To put it simple they let their charcters grow and look like they are willing to move on one day from the main teams.
Also their non-continuity universes have always been better and felt like they were their own thing and not just a do it for the sake of doing it.
Marvel characters who have had character development:
Daredevil is married
The fantastic four constantly change and develop
Moon knight
Hulk
Luke cage
Jessica jones
The x-men
Captain America
Venom
Thor,
Just say you don’t read comics
@bigchung1678 now put that in comparison to DC characters and I think my point still holds a bit of truth.
@@lesliejacoby9137 batman is the face of dc and has had the exact same relationship with selina for over 80 years lol. No character development. Meanwhile iron man is about to get married emma frost. Sit down
@bigchung1678 well they addressed he won't get married to Selena already so "SiT dOwN". Also if one character decides the argument, Spider-Man hasn't made a meaningful move in a direction for the last decade.
@@lesliejacoby9137 yeah after tom king spent half a run building up to a marriage that never happened because status quo: batman can’t develop as a character lol. Sit down
This is why I love Benny and this channel because this is not biased towards any company. I am also a fan of both Marvel and DC but unfortunately most channels are always biased towards one company.
DC comics is doing so well with Knight Terrors and it's pretty interesting to read. Meanwhile, Marvel is struggling hard. I feel like the only way for Marvel comics to bounce back is new comics from the Ultimate Universe.
When Ultimate Spider-man came out in 2000, it started a new era for Comic books which brought readers to read the Ultimate Universe.
I'm dead set on reading all of the Ultimate Universe.
Struggling in what way DC is struggling did you them sales
“struggling”? Their comics get better ratings and sell than dc’s. You can’t name bad current marvel comic outside of spider-man
Name a bad marvel ongoing outside of spider-man. Go. I know you can’t
@@Bungycb She-Hulk. Did you see the way they nerfed her? She fights some dude named the Scoundrel and gets wrecked.
@@jessemillan1385the current she-hulk run just got nominated for an Eisner LOL. Try again
I just said this on twitter but I'll say it here aswell:
As a long time Moon Knight lover I am loving the current run. They're actually making Tigra one of my favourite characters currently?? Every issue has a purpose, nothing feels like filler and it's just fun. Like it's so obvious that the writers care for and like Moon Knight!
Obviously Age of Konshu was a flop and I disliked it as much as anyone with eyes. However they use Konshu being locked away really interestingly. Big ups to the entire book, hope you read and enjoy it.
I read that run for 20 issues, and I dropped it when Moon Knight fought “post-modern” vampires.
I draw the line at bloodsuckers with man buns
Marvel has better comics. Only spider-man is bad
@@Bungycb fangirl spotted in his 6th thread
that’s one of the reasons i prefer dcs comic stories. because not everything is connected i can read a crap ton of batman and not have to worry about how it ties into all of the superman. and i see that as an easier way to lead into the big events cuz then i can see what each character was doing leading into the big events then read the event and see how the aftermath of that event affected each character separately.
This
While current periods in comics have different sides coming out on top, overall neither Marvel or DC are superior to one another. Both are filled with phenomenal and iconic storylines and characters as well as an extravagant amount of controversies, continuity errors and incohesive plots. Anyone arguing about which is better needs to realise this.
Yeah, but this is about the current stuff
It always goes back and forth. Its competition. You must of missed what he says, marvel is sometimes better and vice versa.
As a marvel and DC fan, I think Marvel is is in their DC's last decade phase, the mcu is falling, their comics and it's the opposite with DC, they have interesting upcoming projects with the DCU and James Gunn and their comics grab peoples attention pretty well. I feel like it just keeps switching up like in another decade it'll be vice versa over and over again. It's competition
Marvel has better comics
@@Bungycb fangirl spotted in his 3rd thread
It's true. I do feel like it's more likely for me to stumble into a lab and get bitten by a radioactive spider and develop spider powers than it is for me to become a billionaire.
The problem with having line wide events is that it becomes much harder to keep up as well as figure out the order that you're supposed to read them in. It looks good on paper because the fans of the central characters are likely to investigate the lesser known ones, but this only applies to the most hardcore of customers/fans. It does little in providing for the long term health of the series or their respective franchises. Line wide events need to be special rather than every single time. It needs to make sense for the characters to get involved as well. Green Lantern crossing over with Sinestro and the Green Lantern Corps makes sense. Batman being a candidate for the Sinestro Corps makes sense. Sinestro changing Corps ever other year does not.
This is one of the things that pisses me off about Spider-Verse in general. Spider-man is not a multiverse focused character. Spider-Verse worked when he was dragged into the Secret Wars or other things like it, but he shouldn't be regularly involvedwith that. He's street level heroics and the constant need to throw him into these multiversal events is detrimental to his storyline as well as anyone else involved because he simply does not belong. Characters like Doctor Strange, Magik, and others who are part of the Cosmic Marvel or the Multiverse makes sense to be involved.
What DC is doing right is by separating the crossovers into groups rather than line wide. Batman has his own events in Gotham that have his stories crossover with other Gotham based characters. On the other hand is the freaking Batman Who Laughs who was shoved into everything after Dark Knights Metal. He was in everything and everything was like a Batman sub-series. After that, they took a few year break to focused on more individual stories with the occasional crossover. That is the right way to do things.
X-Men keeps having threats to Krakoa and stupid gimmicks. They need to stop and start focusing on X-Men/Mutant based storylines. They fail to understand the nuances of symbolism.
Honestly the last actual comic series I read was immortal hulk (which was great!). Lately I have been focusing on manga which I honestly prefer as its usually one writer for the whole series vs multiple writers over a series of reboots.
The fact that I recently started playing IN1 again made me relive my love for Zatanna. I just didn’t know where to start as of comics nor did I think DC was pushing any stories for her. That was until I saw this video. Guess it’s time to go to my local comic book store again!! 👀
Zatanna is one of my favorite characters. She leads the Justice League Dark in the 2018 James Tynion run on the series. Highly recommended reading for her!
It depends on the run I think, to date I still think Dceased, injustice and Metal were some of the best comics to come out in the last few years. White knight also has a place up there, but they keep adding to the lore. When it comes to marvel, it’s hit and miss, but Donny Cates’ Venom was truly one of the best as I believe it really redeemed Eddie as a character and gave so much more. I don’t know if I’d place it above Dceased or below but when both books were coming out, I made sure to read both as soon as they dropped.
As I’m writing this, I’m having trouble remembering what I truly enjoyed reading. Besides the Shang Chi’s and Moon Knight’s run, which I thought were good, just not top 5 good. The major avengers events just weren’t super memorable to me. I know there are people who like the AXE (I want to say Judgment?) event, but I found it kind of tiring to read through. There was the avengers forever run, which had a big event with the main run, while it was cool to see what they did with it, my excitement just fizzled out in the end.
The point really being, besides Venom, marvel hasn’t put out anything that was memorable imo. If they did, it was for something really backass stupid, recent Spider-Man I’m looking at you. Another possible decent story was with the second run of superior Spider-Man but they took some odd choices with the story and wrecked Otto at the end. (Though, with the new run announced I’m curious what’s going to happen)
Recent DC stuff doesn’t seem too appealing atm, so perhaps Marvel can pull ahead again, but we’ll see
Compared to Marvel, DC especially the Jon Kent Superman and the injustice saga has been good
@@godserena6059 hey someone actually likes that book?! alright cool.
@@johnthai6188 Yes. It was amazing
Marvel has better comics
Green Arrow and all the supporting characters actually given importance was enough to signal to me “oh, DC is actually trying to save their company, where Disney is killing their comics decision slowly”
He's out of line... but he's right!
Bro said FAX
If you’re looking for reading recommendations in marvel, look up ultimate invasion. Main plot: the maker is bringing back the ultimate universe. Love your videos, I’ve been watching since the beginning ❤
The ultimate universe once again? Jeez...
@@grandetrujilloivan956 It was destroyed in 2015, 8 years ago. It’s time for a comeback.
@@micro_9298 imo there's no a good reason to bring it back
@@micro_9298😶 I recommend symbiotes
@grandetrujilloivan956 Hey, they may tone down the more edgy parts of the Ultimate comic(looking at Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, all the cannibalism, and unnecessary s3x stuff)
For the love of God can DC just focus on marketing their animated movies more? DC animated movies have been fire the past years but they should double down and give them cinematic releases
Facts
Even the Joker would see Marvel as a big bad joke.
Joker: Joke? I’ve seen fart gags with more class than this!
@@Savagewolver ohoho thats a good and funny oneliner, Id be shocked if this wasnt a quote from a animated dc show.
Who wants that overrated clown lol. There are far better villains than joker lol.
Well, Jonathan Hickman is back with Ultimate Invasion. I think that could be the big, interconnected story coming up for Marvel.
I’m not a fan of Jonathan Hickman. All of his ideas are too damn strange for me.
If you are taking Marvel recommendations, the Captain America comics have been really good and punisher finished up and that was really good too, Moon Knight is also really good. Both Moon Knight and Scarlet Witch both have events coming up
I love events on both sides. Marvel it felt like there were events one after another after another. It was so crazy I lost track of everything going on. Make them special again! Make me care about the characters and storyline. I want to feel the sadness when someone dies. Currently I don't get those kinds of stories anymore =(
Moon Knight and Ghost Rider are fantastic. Invincible Iron Man is good too. Deadpool is good with his pet Carnage Dog.
Benny I truly appreciate you for using critical thinking with your criticism instead giving into the “everything is woke” bad faith arguments
But…..but… . Muh Mind Virus?!?!
But really though. The only time “Woke” ruins something is when older white men try and do what they think “woke” means to make money. It’s not some mystical culture war… it’s bad writing and characterization.
If two things have happened I might begin to consider reading DC comics other than static shock 1.have they put the recap page back in 2.have they apologized for heroes in crisis
Line wide events like Fear Itself and Blackest Night got me to buy every crossover issue, regret it with Fear Itself, enjoyed it with Blackest Night. It does work. Tho as I’ve gotten older and money more tight I just stick to just what I’m already getting and then maybe an event if I want to get into it
The only 2 marvel characters I've been reading for the past few years are Miles Morales and Daredevil. So I have been pretty happy lol.
I get why the night terror series exist but outside of a few people I wasn't interested but the idea was dope sometimes I have to be in the mood to check it out
as a fan of both American comics and manga...i think its both completely different genres, its not about which is better...just different
At the end of the day there is good writing and bad writing. Even in consistently good series..
Yeah, American comics are almost entirely super heroes, but Manga has every genre imaginable.
Manga also gives you more content for your money, generally better writing, more creative and out-there stories, etc
Objectively I would say manga is better only because there's typically one writer. American comics are ran by companies with a writer after another and anothe which makes them inconsistent.
Yes, but manga is less creatively restrictive than the stuff comics do.
@@sojournertaylor6897merican comics are way more than just superheros. Marvel and DC aren't the only comic book publishers in America. Image, Dark horse, IDW, boom, dynamite, Vertigo (now DC Black Label),oni press, titan comics and others have put out a multiple books with a wide range of genres.
if you think about it the only think Marvel has over DC is Movies, even then its pretty close with some of the older DC films
Marvel has better comics, movies, tv shows, and video games. Dc’s comics are boring and the only dc book that sells well is batman lol
Not close at all Dc movies are horrible. Batman carries everything.
@@Bungycbah now TV shows... do I really even need to go here??? Do you really need me to bring up she Hulk? Wanda vision ? Moon Knight? Ms Marvel? Falcon and the winter soldier ? All laughably bad shows. Daredevil is literally the only show marvel has that's watchable and it's not even that good. DC' animated universe is literally legendary. Even it's recent shows mop the floor with marvel, now you want to move on to video games next? What are you going to say, their recent Avengers game is so bad it got meme'd on ? Maybe you want to play Marvel's midnight suns 😂. Marvel has 0 games and don't try and bring Spiderman games in because that's all Sony. Gotham knights was a bad game yet it's still way better than anything Marvel's put out and that's just sad. The last good Marvel's game was ultimate Alliance and that was only one of them and it was over 10 years at this point. Even suicide squad game looks better than anything marvel has
@@majora919 not reading all that. Dc shows like flash, arrow, supergirl, titans, heroes of tomorrow, and more are all bad lol
@@Bungycb you read my comment you just have nothing to say back because im right lmfao
this is the first time in my 20 years of collecting comics that I'm getting more dc comics than marvel. I'm getting less comics in general but still, as a marvel fan this is unprecedented. I read Hulk, scarlet witch and moomknight. for dc I'm reading spirit world, city boy, superman lost, superman, worlds finest, shazam and titians. I use to get 10+ marvel books and maybe 4 dc comics. I've gone mostly indie and very close to dropping marvel and dc fully.
Secret Invasion is one of their best shows, it's up there with Loki, Moon Knight and Captain America and the Winter Soldier
You are the first and only positive review I have seen or heard for that show. Especially with that last episode with the worst action scene in the MCU and killing off one of the only likeable characters.
@@haruhirogrimgar6047 neat
Lmao😂
I was so sad about Moon Knight, it got censored and fight scenes were cut out entirely. Perfect example of the MCU effect on R rated characters like Carnage and Punisher.
i mainly read DC comics cause i get so much more njoynent wen i try to read marvel i just roll my eyes n get bored
Dc encyclopedia Is amazing, it's just there movies stink Except for the Batman movies, Superman movies Green Lantern Aquaman Films and justice League
can u stop with your stupid criticism marvel and dc are both superior since i own there movies and poster and encyclopedia books so pls keep your criticism to yourself!
The main Marvel books I read are Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Fantastic Four. I am surprised that no one is talking about the Fantastic Four right now, Dan Slott finished his run last year in 2022 so now they are on a new volume in Volume 7, and this volume written by Ryan North is actually pretty good.
Also, John Hickman is writing a storyline called Ultimate Invasion of which the first issue recently came out. This storyline is bringing back the Ultimate Universe and this first issue I did not think it was terrible.
In conclusion, people are underrating the Fantastic Four right now.
i would also like to say ghost rider by ben percy is underrated too.
F4, Immortal x-men, x-men red, and Moon Knight are carrying marvel right now to me. Mackay's Doctor Strange and Avengers are also promising.
On a rant now 🤪 Superman and Spider-man are both working with their arch enemy at the moment. Superman has sold it better in five issues than Spider-man has on 28
Then Clive came out to Glass Shattering, hit both Marvel and DC with steel chairs, then left.
you wish🥱
Who
@@Xanderinkartist117 FF16’s main protagonist
This video is no surprise. Your channel has always been slanted towards DC comics for years. It's the reason I don't watch it that much. DC comics is dull and here's why...it's always about the "trinity" even in alternate DC universes it's about the trinity. There is never any true cosmic events out side of earth because superman or batman or flash always have to be involved. Marvel don't have that problem. They don't have to focus their attention on 3 main characters. This makes most of their characters more interesting. In DC only 3 of their characters are interesting everyone else is dull.
🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
Facts. Dc characters and comics so boring
@@OmniDan26 that’s me yawning trying to read dc’s comics
You clearly don't read comics if you think that
I’m hoping that Marvel bringing back the Ultimate Universe is a sign of good changes to come. It’s suppose to officially launch in November. I think one of Marvels problems is marketing. I had no idea about this until I looked it up after Ultimate invasion. I hope Marvel has a more consistent direction in the near future

I agree I Hadn't been engaged in Marvel since King in Black and Immortal Hulk but I've enjoyed several DC runs since then my favorite being Dceased and I'm all in on Night terrors.
I still like some marvel, but DC is darker, which I like.
People keep saying DC is darker but I personally don’t see it, it’s the other way around for me
Problem with current marvel in my opinion:
1. bad writing.
2. Force movie synergy
3. Unnecessary comic with character no one ask for.
4.lack of direction.
5.lack of continuity.(honestly that just a problem with the big two).
6. To many characters derivatives.
When I was reading through Justice League Dark a few years ago, I read the I, Vampire crossover and it made me want to read I, Vampire. I love that book and I would not have read it if I had not read JLD.
It goes back and forth between Marvel and DC honestly
At this point it’s not about who’s better. It’s who’s gonna make us uninterested first. A real race to the bottom right now.
@@theprophet9428 ?
Personally for me I found marvel comics to be a clusterfuck right now and really not interesting especially with the current Amazing Spider-Man comics being so bad that it ain't even but just sad and depressing at least in my opinion, As for DC comics I do agree they are being connected again which I am all for that because damn it I miss when the universe use to being connected and even though I am not a fan of another event within DC comics one thing I will give that event credit is like you said its making the universe being connected again which I am actually happy about that because damn it the universe finally feels like live in breath in world which I approve but that's just my opinion. :)
I like DC. But saying that it has the god among us feel? I don't think so. I just read Swamp Thing Twin Branches. And it doesn't need that gods are among us feel. It has a role model, relatable, and escapism vibe. DC Ink and DC Zoom, are graphic novel stories for a younger audience. It can have have the feel of being emotional, down-to-earth, and relatable vibe. Like the stories at Marvel, Image, Boom, and even Archie Comics as well. Not everything has to be godlike. These stories are set outside of main DC continuity. DC Black Label doesn't have to be gritty and serious the whole time. There is hope, innocence, and levity in these stories after all.
It's not surprising that moonknight is considered an obscure superhero. He always has been and has a lot of failed comic lines
One of the things I never really liked about marvel is that it's too light hearted sometimes. Plus they seem to focus on a lot of hero team ups and don't really focus on the character themselves as individuals with the exception of Spiderman, Wolverine, Punisher and the Hulk. Like honestly it seems the heroes are defined by their teams.
As a 90’s comic fan, Danny Ketch GhostRider is good so far. Granted it’s only 3 books in.
I still feel that Marvel is hanging on to the X-men and pushing it hard. Like it’s x-men and Spider-Man and that’s it.
I would recommend the current Moon Knight run. I think it’s Marvel’s best book along with Daredevil. The writing and art on this run has been outstanding and shows a true and complete understanding of the character.
Marvel is crushing it with live action movies and video games , Dc is just failing at that
He’s talking about the comics not video games or movies just pure comics
@@runisaBut it's true their movies are better but their comics sucks ass
@@Supersammy22_290 can u stop with your stupid criticism marvel and dc are both superior since i own there movies and poster and encyclopedia books so pls keep your criticism to yourself!
Marvel literally just cucked Spiderman that alone is reason enough not to pick up a single marvel comic book again
Spider-Man can't even have one kid While batman has like what fifteen at this point like come on marvel Let's spidet man have a happy life and stop giving him depression
@@puppetmaster1819 so true bruh.. Spider-man getting cheated on while slighly trashy,and unlike other spider-man fans I don't simp much for MJ and I realize the classic MJ who actually was caring and a tolerable love interest isn't coming back. Have Spider-Man man the hell up and move on instead of just pineing after MJ constantly and getting disrespected by her. Let her and paul have it and just let him get with other love interests and fully and emotionally get over MJ. This whole plot with Paul and Spider-man feels like some feminists vindictive female power fantasy with MJ or some mans degenerate self insert with paul. One of the two lul.
I personally always though Spider-man and black cat could be a amazing vigilante power couple, a girl who could actually keep up a bit with Spider-man and won't have to non stop need his help and someone with charisma and wit to keep up with spider-mans charisma. his TRUE equal.
Unlike other Spidy fans I won't accept MJ being peters wife ever again unless its from a rebooted universe where the cheating with paul never happened (or one more day for that matter). Make peter grow up and move on in both his love life responsibility and progress.
@keonkla536 true that marvel really hateing on the character That has carried the entire marvel comic line on his back
Yeah spider man comics been pooping the bed lately.
@@puppetmaster1819 batman can’t get married while iron man can lol. Marvel has better comics
Since i started listening to comics ive ALWAYS like DCs comic stories and aninated stories, even more than the MCU. I remember when i was younger and getting a copy of Wizard. I wanted to get into comic then but i didnt know how nor did we have the money as a kid. Then i found your channel, jesus christ your channel is amazing. I have had mismemories of listening to your stories AS ANIMATIONS thats how good the readings are. So that being said thanks.
Just so you know Benny, the lizard boy you're referring to is Reptil who had a 4 issue mini series around the time of King In Black.
I am with you I loved Flash and BEST PART Michael Keaton Batman return BEST BATMAN in media IMHO. Also secret Invasion DID have consequences kind ruining some stuff we had in films previous
Finally something I agree
Disney acquired Marvel, and now Marvel had inherited all the problems of Disney
Yes
This. All of this.
Marvel had problems before Disney
I've always viewed DC and Marvel like Yin and Yang. At times one will be in the rise while the other shrinks but ultimately the reverse will happen. But the truth is one needs the other to exist. Their opposite sides of the same coin. Some of the best characters and story arcs from one have inspired the same in the other. And vice versa.
Things I love that made me go from subscribed to full notifications: 1. the way the channel started doing current things going on so I know what I want to pick up, but I've still seen some old runs. 2. Our historian just GOING OFF! I feel like before you covered comics but very officially. It's awesome to see when it's like you really say how you feel about things like it's not being all diplomatic.
I can only think of a handful of good titles from Marvel that I'd recommend like Daredevil, Venom, Wolverine, or Miles Morales, the rest is either messy or uninteresting. But DC is full of so much stuff that invests.
Perfect? Not at all! But DC has been killing it in titles like Flash and Nightwing.
Punisher max
Nightwing? 😂😂😂 no
@@kcopara1 L take 😷
@@OmniDan26 He is coping that his weak male protagonists in marvel are not selling lmao.
Fantastic four, x-men, immortal x-man, she-hulk, moon knight, iron man, captain america, thor, just say you don’t read comics
as someone who adores the x-men, the fact that this audience doesn't respond to any x-men content is rlly sad :(
I know, I love it too lol
@@comicstorian do you think there's ever a chance you'll cover any krakoa stuff?
"Is DC is better?"
Me: Good question, i havent thought of that.
I read Thor, Hulk, Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, X-Men and Daredevil. I’m enjoying all of them. I really need to read more DC. I usually just pick up all the Black Label series.
Do more Spider-Man 2099 comics
More coming soon, we grabbed some classics
@@comicstorian yes thanks I love your Spider-Man 2099 videos
The problem with western comics is too many events, reboots, retcons and no real sense of continuity. I don't think Marvel or DC won't ever stop doing this but I think they should do more one shots that isn't related to their superhero universes or more "else world" stories as side projects. Be more experimental. Just do more self contained stories, i dont want run back and forth between tittles. There's a reason why manga is dominating the market.
i mean dc already has the "else world" stories with black label.
An army of Wolverines sounds bat shit insane. How do you kill a man who can regenerate from dang near anything?! There are a few things that can halt healing factors, but there are not a ton of those.
Although DC did come out before marvel did, I still love both universes equally and I want all the characters of both universes do revered with amazing writing and handling, especially with the continuities and storylines, it would especially be awesome to see new crossover stories, and even when both universes combine, just without combining the characters
DC is definitely 100% better than Marvel indeed
Can you shove your criticism somewhere else DC And Marvel are both good. They both are great. So please shove your criticism somewhere else and stop putting Marvel down since I love both.
DeaDceu fan girl spotted, opinion rejected 🥱.
@@Judyhopps-1iq fair enough
I have a friend who avoids marvel media and answered why with a quote that kind of sums up Marvel's recent quality. "Marvel doesn't give a $h!t"
the current arc of Hulk is good
The whole time Beast going full evil, I'm wondering and looking at Charles like, You're just going let this happen?
I actually finally got into DC because I wasn't happy with how things were going with Marvel (specifically the Cinematic Universe, plus, the BS the Russo Brothers have, especially with doing Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes so dirty) lol
👎 down vote
What do you mean Russo Brothers BS? And what did they did to do CAP and Bucky dirty???
What are you talking about man
I’m still disappointed we never got New Warriors by Daniel Kibblesmith. Now that it’s canceled I have literally nothing to look forward to from Marvel besides the facsimile editions of silver-age books, the era where writers were creative and didn’t make a million diet copies of Spider-Man.
I wish we would get another New Warrior's Book.
I'm more of a DC guy typically but I've enjoyed the current Moon Knight.
Im glad im not the only one who feels this way about DC & Marvel rn. Your videos always make my day
Uve always been a DC fanboy, marvel sells better.
I agree with most of your points, and I'm sick of telling people, especially normies that just watch Disney plus.
Hahaha i love that both Benny and Rob doesnt care about the inhumans xd
The Problem with DC Films is to many people messing with someone's vision, additionally Smallville should've finished after season 4. And then in the movies, I would have introduced Erica Durance as Lois lane.
I would have taken certain television characters and put them in films also. And lastly, just made everything more Cohesive
" A army of wolverines and they are doing nothing" 🤣🤣🤣
Marvel is definitely kicking their ass, no way dc is comparing to them.
Facts marvel has way better comics
Marvel Comics need to do an FULL-ON reboot of their mainstream universe (Earth-616) as they need also stop try to have the comics be like the MCU cause the MCU is so popular and they should've have both the comics and MCU need to be their own separate things.
With an full-on reboot on their mainstream universe, like DC did with rebooting their mainstream universe several times, for better or worse, writers can tell fresh new stories of classic characters in fresh new ways for an new generation of readers while also have each of their classic characters grow up, develop and other stuff... Heck, Marvel need to stop be obsessed with doing major crossover events, thinking it would help boost sells, which it really doesn't, and need to stories without doing crossover events again and again and again and AGAIN! Just saying, folks.
Heck, Marvel could've revival imprints like Marvel Adventures (Marvel's all-ages imprint line), Marvel Mangaverse (a imprint which put their characters in a Japanese-esque setting), MC2 (an imprint where it follow the children of Marvel's heroes and villains) 2099 (which set in the far future) or do an new imprint which is similar to its Ultimate Marvel universe imprint (minus the "gritty and dark" stuff of the imprint).
You know, those kind of stuffs... So, anyway, Marvel editorials should've need to do something risky by actually doing an FULL-ON REBOOT of their mainstream universe (Earth-616) in a attempt of gaining new readers and need moneys. Yeah, i know it would alienating their HARCORE fans and stuff. But you know, most of those hardcore fans actually wants the editorials to reboot their mainstream universe.
Yeah, i'll know they would never do it and want to continuing their mainstream universe and try to have it be the MCU, which is kinda stupid in some ways, just saying, people. So, maybe one day, Marvel editorials should've finally decides to do an full-on reboot with their mainstream universe. But, we're all know that's never happens cause they refuse do it.
Why?
Cause they afraid of probably alienating any of their hardcore fans and wouldn't possibly sells well. Kinda like Heroes Reborn from the 90s, just saying, folks.
Dude after hearing you explain the schedule and how you do your video’s releases and I get you being on UA-cam probably isn’t easy. Keep up all the hard work Benny your awesome
I'm really enjoying Strange Academy with all-new characters but that's pretty standalone
I'm totally disagree, Marvel is better than DC because I'm timeout with DC after the Justice League disbanded and I ignore the Dawn of DC with Solo Books + Team Book like Titans (I respect the Titans for a very big role) and I'm sticking with Marvel with Avengers (with Jed MacKay taking over), Uncanny Avengers (Gerry Duggan takes the lead), Spider-Man (with one-off and a two part story with Spidey and Black Cat), Guardians of the Galaxy (Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing also taking over), Avengers Inc. begins (as Al Ewing takes over and connects with the Main Avengers series by Jed MacKay) and I'm ready for Ms. Marvel's arrival in the new series and so much more. I also ignore X-Men (aka Worst Team in the Marvel Universe because the Avengers is better) and I also ignore all the fan-favorite, cult classic stuff that fans love. I'm just stick the newer ones. So, yes. Marvel is even better than DC, because DC is a mess. Deal with it, Benny you son of a bitch
18:54 only a speculation. But ben percy mightve read killing floor and written it into his wolverine podcast drama
On one of your side rants.. I’m ok with the inhumans as a whole not being used, I like them but I get it.. but man I wish we got more BlackBolt solo stuff like that run from a few years ago.
oh i love that12 issue black bolt maxiseries that came out in 2018
Hey Benny, just wanted to ask is there a full story/ playlist for the future state issues?
DCeased was peak 2020 dc imo
Story wise the only reason why it wouldn't be an event to stop Beast is because they are trying to lowkey about it and if humans find out that one of their intelligence leaders has gone rogue and trying to destroy humanity would cause more problems that krakoa is already dealing with already
John Constantine is better than the whole Marvel universe let alone the rest of DC's heroes or villain...
