Hell, at one point they were even chasing Jack Kirby back and forth between companies.
Thats par for the course for the companies at this point.
Twenty-five years ago,Marvel Comics, crawling out of the shadow of a bankruptcy, tried something new.
and then collapsed even further into shock jock comics (do NOT readUltimatum).
By the time the line started really innovating, it was barely hanging on.
Until Marvels Ultimates were dug out of their graves.
By the guy who put them there.
There are some surface differences between the two lines, reflected in who launched them.
He handed off the rest of the line to some utterly fascinating creative teams.
Unlike Marvel, DC went with established talent to launch the new universe.
Its a great time to be a Marvel and DC fan.
