  • Back in 1986 it was a real treat when John Byrne took over Superman starting with the mini series The Man of Steel. He rebooted the series with that limited series and then took over Superman and Action Comics entirely doing the writing and artwork. He gave the people of the 80’s a more adult…

  • So of course we all know that DC usually follows the trends of Marvel Comics.

I am not talking realism in a way of superhuman beings roaming the earth, having crazy powers and fighting crime. Nope,…

It would seem that one MUST have copied the other, they both are squishy, slimey monsters that roam around in the swamp and they both decided to have their last name be “Thing”….coincidence?
