Ask any comic fan in your local comic book store who their favorite comic company is and more often than not, they will list the two top: Marvel Comics and DC Comics. For as long as the comic business has been around, it seems as though DC and Marvel have always been in battle with one another. When one prospers, the other is not far behind and when one is failing to appeal to fans, the other is sure to come along and pick them up. Everything is a competition with one another and so it is no surprise that both companies would commission books made to spotlight the evolution and history of their respective comic brands.
