Over the years, the companies have deployed an arsenal of schemes in an attempt to outmanoeuvre the competition, whether it be stealing ideas, poaching employees, planting spies, ripping off characters or launching price wars. Sometimes the feud has been vicious, at other times, more cordial. But it has never completely disappeared, and it simmers on a low boil to this day.

This is the story of the greatest corporate rivalry never told. Other books have revealed elements of the Marvel-DC battle, but this will be the first audiobook to put it all together into a single, juicy narrative. It will also serve as an alternate history of the superhero, told through the lens of these two publishers.

A fantastic look at the occasionally intense rivalry between the two juggernauts of comics!

After the recent passing of the face of Marvel, Stan Lee, I told a friend that I was looking for a decent biography and they suggested I read this instead.

Although it covers much more than just the life of Stan Lee it provides a great overview of his influence in the fast growing, and greatly marginalised, industry as well as the influence of those he collaborated with and his competitors.

Gloriously insightful!

For anyone with a mild interest of comic books this book is a great revelation. Packed full of the back story to the two behemoths of the comic book superhero industry and their rivalry.

Both companies have had their far share of ups and downs and this audiobook chronicles all their respective highs and lows, artistically and financially. Loads of anecdotes from all the main protagonists involved, Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Carmine Infantino, Julius Schwartz, Jeanette Kahn, Steve Ditko, Bob Kane and many many others.

Right from both comics companies early days in the 30’s/40’s right through to the modern era and their cinematic and TV are all covered.

I’m more knowledgeable about both companies back stories now having checked out ‘Slugfest’.

Packed Full Of Insights and Rarities.

I’m neither Marvel or DC fan, and Reed Tucker makes the same statement at the start of his book, but his account of the dirty, sometime stupid actions of both business companies is often with favour going towards Marvel, emphasising DC’s failures and attempts to knock Marvel off its perch, and often quickly, skimming over the tricks and dirty tactics of Marvel to keep DC in its place, often laughing it off. Personal reviews of films continue to show the bias. Overall an informative read, but feels a side has be taken

A fair account, definitely some subtle bias

Great and interesting history of the comic world we have all come to know and love. So many examples of deals and characters that made the industry

Marvelous
