Giffen: Political Science (Slight return).

August 15th, 2007
Author Graeme McMillan

Keith Giffen is feeling random. The winner is the reader:

I’ve been asked, on more than one occasion, what the basic differences are between DC and Marvel. I think it all boils down to this…

Marvel is like the Democratic Party, diverse factions working toward various goals.

DC is like the Republican Party, diverse factions working toward a common goal.

Think about it. (And try not to draw snide parallels between various odious politicians and DC/Marvel staff. That’s my job.)

    So the republican party is obssessed with multiple versions of their universe + characters?

    Someone once said “I don’t belong to an organized political party, I’m a Democrat”.

    “So the republican party is obssessed with multiple versions of their universe + characters? ”
    No, but it is obsessed with Dogma, order, and the way things used to be.

    That analogy only works if you liken it to current popularity. Cue the Didio=Bush in that both are retarded executives in 3,2,1…

    I always liked the Simpsons analogy better. DC is Edna Krabapple and Marvel is The Comic Book Guy.
