8 Confessions Of A Marvel Fan After Reading DC Comics

Much like the movies, DC comics pour a lot of money into marketing their main guys. Not that it’s a surprise. Over the last eighty years, both Batman and Superman have been the most popular superheroes across the world, so of course the company want to give the people what they want.

However, the heavy focus on those characters is a common issue with Marvel fans who want to get into DC. The publisher has made a habit of including at least one of them in nearly every other character’s solo runs, because they know it can provide a boost to a franchise. It’s fool-proof marketing and whenever either character features on a cover, that week sees a nice bump in sales.

However, away from the main two there are countless incredible stories to be read. For instance, Tom King’s 12-issue run on Mister Miracle offered a grounded look into the headspace of Scott Free, whilst offering absolutely gorgeous visuals from Mitch Gerads.

The story opens up with Free’s apparent suicide and follows him on a complicated journey as he tries to figure out if he can ever trust himself, or if he was still alive at all.
