Happy Savage Dragon Day to all those who celebrate.

This is the DC vs Marvel that I want.
#DCComics #MarvelComics

Normally I’m reading as many DC Comics from July 1980 to December 1992 as I can and writing about it.

For April Fools’ Day, I decided to write about Marvel. I discovered Marvel Unlimited has more comics from the early 80s than DC Universe Infinite.

Marvel Unlimited > DC Universe Unlimited?

Marvel In My Lifetime- April 1981 The beginning of legendary runs by Byrne and Miller.

I’m reading as many Marvel Comics from July 1980 (when I was born) to December 1992 (when I started reading comics) as I can and writing about it. #MarvelComics

So let me get this straight. In the year of our lord 1980, DC had a book that featured stories about a WWII tank that was haunted by a Confederate General? #DCComics

That’s how I feel too. Meanwhile, Schumer is working on a strongly worded statement and wondering if the bold font in his PowerPoint is too aggressive.
