Slugfest: Inside the Epic, 50-Year Battle Between Marvel and DC

Autor Reed Tucker
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 oct 2017
Over the years, the companies have deployed an arsenal of schemes in an attempt to outmaneuver 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 one 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.

Recenzii

"Reed Tucker masterfully dissects the REAL issue dividing us as a nation."
Seth Meyers, host of NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers

"A smart, blow-by-blow narrative of the sometimes-friendly, often bitter rivalry between corporate comic-book behemoths...A wild haymaker for the masses, perhaps, but a knockout read for capes-and-cowls aficionados."—Kirkus
"This is a book for 'Fans.' I consider myself a 'Fan.' I love this book. I guess you could say I am a 'Fan' of this book. If you are not a 'Fan' of 'Things' then this is not a book for you. It is a book for me. GIVE ME BACK MY BOOK!"
Bobby Moynihan, comedian and former Saturday Night Live cast member

"Slugfestis the ringside commentator for the clash of the comic book titans. A must-read for all comic fans."
Scott Sigler, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling novel Alive

"If you think comics are squeaky clean, you have no idea how down and dirty things have gotten behind the brightly colored scenes.Slugfestpulls back the curtain on the tireless work, masterful art, smack talk, underhanded tactics, and juicy betrayals that have both blessed and plagued the rivalry of a lifetime. It's meticulously researched and delightfully scandalous, like the lovechild of an encyclopedia and a soap opera. It's an Encyclopera. Which also happens to be my super hero name."
AJ Mendez, retired WWE superstar and New York Times bestselling author of Crazy Is My Superpower

"Lively and engaging."—Weekly Standard
"This really is a fascinating story, especially when you remember that the competition between DC and Marvel isn't just about comic books; it's about pop culture itself."—Booklist
"As colorful as the characters you see in halftone every Wednesday on New Comics Day."—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Captivating."—National Review
"Slugfestis at its best when it becomes a virtual oral history of the Big Two comics publishers after Frank Miller and Alan Moore alter the entire industry in the mid-80s through their epic Batman and Watchmen titles."
Washington Post
"An intriguing examination of the intense Marvel-DC rivalry."—Washington Times
