Hope that it's obvious to fans who see us out for real, too- Scott Snyder What do you think? Are evil space gods so hot right now? Let us know what you think of the latest Marvel/DC imitation game in the comments.Ĭheck out the teaser trailer for The Little Mermaid, the upcoming live-action reimagining of the animated musical classic. I trade scripts w marvel friends, Image ones, Boom, etc. The thought that we're rivals & hope that one or the other - or any area of comics - fails is laughable. We all root for each other, support each other. That said, we're going to leave you with a recent tweet from Synder reminding everyone that while people like to pit Marvel and DC against each other (for fun or otherwise), comic creators are part of a tight-knit community that wants everyone to succeed regardless of which company they work for. After all, comic companies are ultimately a business, and in that regard, it makes sense to produce a rival product so they can cash in on a potentially popular new trend. It’s common for comic creators to privately share their works-in-progress with fellow creators, even if they work for a rival publisher, so it seems likely that that exchange of information led to the decision-makers at Marvel and DC getting wind of what the other was up to. Of course, the simplest explanation is often the right one. But even knowing that, unless you were a fly on the wall in both Marvel and DC’s headquarters, there’s no real way to suss out exactly how and why both publishers settled on using huge space gods as the premiere villains for their flagship superhero teams on FCBD week. On the DC side of things, the Omega Titans were awoken by the events of Dark Nights: Metal, an event story that kicked off in August 2017 and had been in the works from writer Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capullo for quite some time before that. ![]() Avengers writer Jason Aaron in particular is known for orchestrating his stories with a long-term plan in place, and it’s easy to see the setup for what happened in Avengers #1 if you look at his story in September 2017’s Marvel Legacy #1 where a deranged Celestial was causing trouble for Earth. Marvel and DC's biggest comics are conceived months or even years in advance, the result of numerous creative meetings and marketing plans. After all, these two comics are far too similar to be a mere coincidence. Aping the competition is nothing new in the world of comics (and pretty much every industry in existence), so there's little use in crying foul on DC, but it does beg the question of how this happened in the first place. DC doesn’t have a direct equivalent to the Celestials, so perhaps they thought they were overdue for some space giants in their comics universe. Marvel’s Celestials debuted in 1976, and the Dark Celestials are just a new twist on that old idea. ![]() While the Dark Celestials and the Omega Titans may seem different on the surface, at the end of the day they are pretty much the same overwhelmingly massive cosmic threat with an agenda far beyond the understanding of mere mortals that the heroes need to topple. ![]()
