Marvel throwing shade at DC?



We've already had some hints that Marvel might be planning a complete reboot akin to what DC did with their New 52, and this might just confirm it once and for all. Check out a vague teaser, which still makes an obvious dig at the rival publisher..

The txt accompanying the teaser simply states..

"COUNT ON MARVEL TO ALWAYS DELIVER!

Cuts above the rest..."


And there are 52 slashes. Pretty self explanatory I think. Those red slashes do look similar to Wolverine's claw marks, despite being four and not three - does this mean Marvel will completely reboot their current slate of comics with all Wolverine books?? Probably not, but something drastic is on the horizon. Sound off with your thoughts and guesses in the usual place.

I do understand your point, and the numbers don't lie, but DC only has 3/10 of the spots here (granted they have 2nd and 3rd which does speak volumes) but I would at least say they are not the comic powerhouse they used to be. They need to strengthen their brand to be able to match step for step Marvel

Yeah but most of the Marvel titles that are here are newly launched and benefit from the Marvel Now hype while DC's have been going for a year or more.

Not really comparable really. They both sell very well.

That's true, it's not a lot of spots and mainly it's the batfamily titles that are doing very good while the others are less successful.
Marvel is getting bigger and bigger, it doesn't matter what anybody says, they have a major plan of expansion and DC doesn't. They have expanded incredibly well into movies and tv maintaining one solid narrative, a bit messy, but just one narrative.
But DC still has the most solid comic book fanbase. I still get teased for being a Marvel fan because I'm not as hardcore as a DC fan is.
