superheroes and comets remained at the
forefront of pop culture in 2018 but
which publisher had the biggest
influence welcome to watchmojo.com aid a
severe and continuous click the link
below to find our best and worst of 2018
videos for a look back at all the
awesome and crazy things that happened
round 1
comic books though they may almost seem
secondary in the modern world of
high-profile adaptations comic books are
the source material without which none
of this would be possible over in the
Marvel camp it was a strong if not an
astounding year there soft reboot fresh
start
dialed back the legacy heroes returning
numerous secret identities to the fan
favorite original characters like Steve
Rogers Tony Stark and Bruce Banner it
was a safe move but also a mostly
well-received one in terms of events
spider Geddon isn’t likely to become a
classic but was a fun read throughout
while the knick Spencer’s new spider-man
series has become a worthy follow-up to
Dan slots tenure 2018 also saw the new
venom series get off to a great start
and Donnie Cates Thanos wins story arc
become one of the mad Titans greatest
tales over on the DC side of things
that’s similarly a mixed bag Doomsday
Clock was changed to a bimonthly
schedule in May and will conclude in the
summer of 2019 Dark Knight’s metal
kicked off in 2017 but concluded earlier
this year and was delightfully odd
Batman White Knight made for a
fascinating take on the Joker Brian
Michael Bendis switched from Marvel to
DC just in time for Action Comics number
1,000 a notable milestone and a well
received one at that unfortunately DC
also had some major missteps first off
there was that whole showing Batman’s
penis debacle which felt like a blatant
PR stunt gone wrong the Batman Catwoman
wedding twist was spoiled by the New
York Times upsetting fans and series
writer Tom King the heroes and crisis
limited series promised an unprecedented
emotional journey through the traumas
inherent to the life of superheroes but
instead alienated many with its first
issue when it went for shocking
character deaths rather than an honest
investigation of mental health in terms
of sales DC a
Marvel took turns pulling ahead month by
month making it difficult to say with
any certainty who outperformed the other
in that regard when it comes to quality
however DC could have one had their
missteps not been so major Marvel takes
it but it’s a close one winner Marvel
round two live-action television – Green
Arrow starting with arrow in 2012 DC has
slowly but surely built up an impressive
small screen shared universe as of 2018
that includes arrow the flash Supergirl
and the epic crossover event series
legends of tomorrow the shows have not
been immune to criticism but for the
most part there are a lot of fun then
there’s Black Lightning which although
not a part of the arrowverse as of 2018
has made sparks all on its own over on
Sci Fi Krypton has been more critically
divisive but it did well enough to earn
itself a second season gotham also
continued to offer up a strong take on
Bruce Wayne’s early years finally Titans
debuted on the DC Universe streaming
service and has been relatively well
received surprising fans who were
skeptical of its over-the-top comic-con
in recent years Marvel has found
comparable success on the small screen
using him lying legions second season
continued the delightfully odd riff on
the story of David Haller
and agents of shield soldiers on though
more modest in their success the gifted
Runaways and cloak-and-dagger have all
found their audience and received good
reviews unfortunately something went
wrong with Marvel’s Netflix universe in
2018 and we can’t help but suspect that
it has something to do with Disney’s
future streaming plans after expanding
to five shows and a crossover
cancellations occurred in 2018 with
Netflix pulling the plug on Iron Fist
and Luke Cage no bullet can kill me
don’t jail me though Marvel still has
some great shows the Netflix universe
was its crowning gem and seeing that
lineup of shows shrink seriously hurt
Marvel television in 2018 with the
arrowverse going strong
DC conquers the television landscape to
tie it up winner
DC don’t want any trouble round 3 video
games it’s all well and good to read and
watch the exploits of her favorite
heroes but isn’t the dream to live out
those adventures for ourselves in 2018
Marvel delivered its first truly great
superhero video game in years
spider-man released to critical acclaim
and described as one of the greatest
superhero games ever made this 2018 ps4
exclusive does for spider-man what the
Arkham series did for Batman many have
called it the spiritual sequel to
beloved 2004 games spider-man 2
thrilling to play boasting stunning
visuals and a solid story spider-man was
a big win for Marvel seriously we can
lose our simply web-swinging her way
through the city for years
DC has owned the video game market the
offer mentioned Arkham franchise kept
the company well ahead of the
competition but it wasn’t the only
property with selling power the
injustice games are also extremely
popular and spawned a pretty successful
comic book tie-in as well
unfortunately none of these were
released in 2018 what DC gamers got was
the final two episodes of Batman and the
enemy within which marks the end of the
franchise since the developer telltale
games shut down in September there was a
free-to-play mobile brawler DC
Unchained which is a good way to pass
time while waiting for the bus but
nothing to write home about we also got
Lego DC supervillains courtesy of
travelers games it received positive
reviews but compared to a game in the
Arkham or injustice series it’s not all
that exciting it’s really no contest DC
was apparently between 10 poll releases
in 2018 and so Marvel takes this round
by a mile
winner Marvel round for animated movies
Marvel has been lagging behind on the
animated film front for years it seems
like they give it a half-hearted attempt
every couple of years but that they
don’t have a clear vision as to what
their animated film identity should be
in 2018 however they’ve made an honest
effort the Disney Channel and Disney XD
Original Movie Marvel Rising secret
warriors takes what has worked for the
company in terms of animated series and
tells a bigger story it’s a great if
perhaps modest start and we can’t wait
to see what the Marvel Rising franchise
does next of course the big animated win
for Marvel is actually a Sony offering
spider-man into the spider-verse
officers I love you wait like with its
live-action television DC has found a
model for animated films that works and
it knows not to mess with a good thing
as part of their ongoing DC Universe
animated original movies series DC and
WB have been releasing direct-to-video
animated films aimed at teens and adults
for over a decade in this medium fans
have gotten to see many of their
favorite story arcs brought to life as
well as the occasional original concept
like Batman ninja he made
dodge it ah oh my god oh sit on dial
that tomorrow in 2018 alone
we got the death of Superman Suicide
Squad held to pay Batman Gotham by
Gaslight the after mentioned Batman
ninja as well as a few more kid oriented
movies including the theatrical film
Teen Titans go to the movies now I’m
pretty sure you’re Deadpool look into
the camera and say something
inappropriate though into the
spider-verse is a huge move for Marvel
the sheer volume of rock-solid ativ
films coming out of DC earns them the
round we’ve got ourselves a tie going
into round 5 winner DC round 5
live-action movies though the importance
of comic books can never be understated
as of 2018 marvel’s main moneymaker is
Marvel Studios what the MCU has
accomplished under the ownership of
Disney is unprecedented it’s changed the
film industry inspiring numerous
imitators none of whom can seemingly
compete in 2018 10 years of movies
culminated in Avengers infinity war the
cinematic crossover event the likes of
which we’ve never seen before we hope to
remember you of course it wasn’t alone
2018 also saw the release of ant-man and
the wasp and the groundbreaking black
panther so not only did Marvel dominate
the box office but they did it with
arguably some of their best films yet
after a rocky start to their shared
cinematic universe in 2016 with Batman
vs. Superman dawn of Justice and Suicide
Squad DC rebounded in 2017 with Wonder
Woman it seemed like a course correction
until justice league landed in theaters
and people officially lost all hope
almost 2018 C’s Jason Momoa takes center
stage in his Aquaman solo outing maybe
slowing down to just one movie in 2018
will benefit the future of the franchise
as they regroup and look for ways to
course-correct
but this year was a quiet one for DC on
it would bring destruction here’s the
thing even if Aquaman was the greatest
DC film ever made a single standalone
adventure can’t possibly overshadow the
cultural impact of both infinity war and
black panther Marvel takes it with a
massive knockout punch
winner Marvel there you have it
delivering better films a standout video
game and marginally more consistent
