The real difference between DC and Marvel

June 28th, 2008

From "Wonder Woman" #14

During the “Bends vs. Johns” panel at Wizard Word Chicago, writer Brian Reed explains what truly separates the DC Universe from the Marvel Universe:

“… Wonder Woman can come home and have gorillas in her living room and you go, ‘OK, cool.’ If Professor X comes into his room and there’s gorillas in there, that’s going to be weird.”

It always comes down to apes. Those damned dirty apes …

    Of course, in the Marvel Universe it’s okay to have super-apes, as long as they’re Communist.

    Because Commies are freaky. Like DC.

    Does Hank McCoy hanging out in Prffesor X’s place count as some gorilla action ?

  3. Sallyp Says:

    What can I say? DC just really does Apes well for some reason. Which is why I’m a bit startled whenever I even SEE a talking gorilla in a Marvel book. It DOES seem oddly misplaced.

  4. Jason M. Bryant Says:

    Yes, Hank McCoy does count as gorilla action.

    That why they had to change him to a cat.

  5. Joe S. Walker Says:

    I’m sorry, but all this tee-heeing gorilla stuff feels like fanboy wanking of the worst order.
