Link copied to clipboard Sign in to your CBR account Image by Morena Perez Vitale Spider-Man and the X-Men are two of the most popular properties in Marvel Comics, and they've teamed up quite a few times. Well, "team-up" is a strong claim. In most of their encounters, Spider-Man and the X-Men have fought each other, usually over some disagreement or misunderstanding. Their earliest crossovers were usually born out of those conflicts, while modern team-ups have presented some deep, heartfelt...

1 week ago | cbr.com | Cole Kennedy

Link copied to clipboard Sign in to your CBR account Superman is one of the most powerful superheroes of all time, and he can pretty easily handle most threats on Earth, so DC Comics writers need some ways to weaken him. Kryptonite was the perfect Achilles' Heel, poisoning the Man of Steel to various degrees to fit any particular plot at any given time.

10 Best DC Villains From Different Time Periods

1 week ago | cbr.com | Cole Kennedy

DC Comics houses some of the best fictional villains of all time. Despite DC's constantly changing timeline, adapting to the real-world publication of their comics, some villains are uniquely "modern" at all times, such as the Joker with ambiguous origins or Lex Luthor, who will always exist at the same time as Superman. Some of the best DC villains come from the far future or originated in the distant past.

Link copied to clipboard Sign in to your CBR account Image by Morena Perez Vitale When Hal Jordan debuted as the Green Lantern of the Silver Age, he and Barry Allen's Flash changed DC Comics forever. DC stepped away from magic and focused on science fiction. Green Lantern was no longer a lone hero with a magic ring, but an intergalactic space cop who was part of the universe-spanning Green Lantern Corps. Despite the change in scenery, with many Green Lantern adventures taking place across the...

1 week ago | cbr.com | Cole Kennedy

Modern readers may be living in the true golden age of DC heroes. Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman lead the modern incarnation of the Justice League, which houses just about every superhero one can think of, but so many of DC's greatest heroes were born in the distant past or far future (even possible futures that may or may not come to pass).

2 weeks ago | cbr.com | Cole Kennedy

The Justice League members are DC's coolest, most powerful heroes––in the modern era of comics, at least. In the Silver Age, the Justice League of America title fell victim to the narrative structures of the times. Comics were a little goofier, a little lighter in tone, with simpler stories and brighter resolutions.

When fans think of Batman, they likely imagine the brooding detective of the modern era, a serious, competent hero with secrets and plans. Readers in the 1950s and '60s were seeing a very different Caped Crusader––the Batman of DC Comics' Silver Age. The Silver Age was like the Wild West for the comic book industry. Every week, readers picked up an issue of Batman or Detective Comics to find Batman and Robin on a wild and strange adventure.
10 Strangest Superman Comics From DC’s Silver Age

2 weeks ago | cbr.com | Cole Kennedy

For all the marvelous stories contained in modern Superman comics, they're missing the strange, wild, unpredictable nature of the Silver Age. Whether the Silver Age was of high quality is a debate for another day, but it's unquestionably part of the foundation of Clark Kent and Lois Lane's characters, and the Superman universe, despite its unconventional stories that would receive mounds of criticism if released today.
