In the last few months, weeks, and even days. . . the Bloods and the Crips
of the comic world are brutally battling each for our nerdy short attention
span. DC Comics and Marvel Comics are at it again. Matching each other pound
for pound. Just last month DC started their new animation block on cartoon
network called DC nation, featuring two 30min shows (Green Lantern Animated and
Young Justice) with a line up of animated shorts showcasing lots of DC's
characters (like Plastic Man). Which as a fan of comics and animation is
friggin' awesome! Fast forward to this weekend Marvel, almost as an act of
retaliation came out with their own animation block on Disney’s XD channel (without
a cool time slot name) featuring their new cartoon “Ultimate Spider Man” along
with the second season of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. . . with some
animated shorts also. Well played Marvel! This is just one battle in the war
between giants. As each of these company are still gearing up their comic titles and
shipping out new issues for us to enjoy, DC continues their comic frontline
with their “New 52” line up switching out books here and there, and Marvel sets
up with a few heavy hitters of their own with “The Avengers’ movie out in
theaters in May, and AvX (Avengers Vs. X-Men) about to ship this week. Who will
win this rumble to rule the comic market? I say we do, the fans! Let’s all sit
back, relax and enjoy the show. Pacific Standard Time . . .
And if you are wondering when to tune in . . .DC Nation airs on Cartoon
Network on Saturday mornings, Marvel’s animation Block airs on Disney’s XD
channel on Sundays. So you can get all the geeky cartoons in own weekend! Score!
