comics majeure pour began as a sanctuary
for pirates and has since taken
advantage of the abundance of stolen
wealth to construct an entire city from
the ground up unfortunately magic ore
suffers from an enormous wealth gap with
the islands High Town district housing
the wealthy and low town representing
the poor crime-ridden neighborhoods
there’s also the famous princess bar
located in low town which Wolverine
would eventually come to co-own want a
drink bub one of the beer number 8
candor do you know what this is it’s the
bottle city of Kandor candor was at one
point in time the prestigious capital
city of Superman’s homeworld of Krypton
you know but before I got blown up too
soon anyway candor is quite beautiful
due to its elegant advanced Kryptonian
technology the entire city is usually
depicted as a combination of large
crystal like structures and other highly
futuristic machinery that our little
earth brains
even begin to understand come to think
of it despite the aforementioned
destruction of Krypton candor did
technically managed to survive
well it’s shrunken down and kept in the
glass case but hey at least Supes has a
memento of where it came from
right number seven gorilla City picture
this gorillas are going about their
daily monkey business when suddenly an
alien spacecraft crashes into their home
and radically alters their DNA providing
them with advanced intelligence and
telepathic abilities gone are the days
of sitting around eating bananas these
gorillas build the impressive and
appropriately named gorilla City
complete with technologies that greatly
surpass anything humanity is achieved
even more impressive though the city is
situated relatively close to the people
of Africa its citizens have developed a
cloaking technology to hide themselves
from the outside world though the
origins of the city aren’t debated due
to the countless retcons and reimagining
it is nevertheless a sight to behold in
any incarnation number 6 Atlantis I have
made a decision to stay in Atlantis with
you if you can hold your breath long
enough to venture this deep into the
ocean you’ll encounter the lost city of
Atlantis and its aquatic protector
Aquaman
settled here on earth by an
extraterrestrial race known as the
hunter-gatherers nearly 65 million years
ago
eventually this species would become
known as the Atlanteans highly
suspicious of the surface world and its
inhabitants the people of Atlantis
concealed their city in a great dome
like shield with their very unique
ecosystem technology and culture
Atlantis is every bit as beautiful as
you would expect a hidden underwater
city to be just be sure to bring goggles
in your bathing suit you’re gonna be
doing a lot of swimming number five
Asgard
the stomping grounds to Thor and Loki
Asgard is quite possibly the coolest
place in the nine realms as guards
infrastructure and architectural design
is a strange combination of both ancient
looking civilizations and radically
advanced technology the vast scale of
the city is wondrous to behold as the
whole place is practically shining from
how prestigious and grand it all is now
seriously there is so much gold and
silver covering everything in sight that
Asgard is literally a shining city if
that’s not enough to impress you these
guys even have a gateway to other worlds
called the Bifrost bridge which beats
any mode of transportation we have here
on puny midcard number four famous Cara
what is this place who are you people we
are the bridge to a greater
understanding right referred to as
Paradise Island due to its lush and
vibrant landscape this super secret and
relatively well hidden island nation is
exclusively inhabited by incredibly
powerful Amazonian women and home to the
DC Comics superhero Diana Prince
aka Wonder Woman it’s deadly population
of female warriors aside the island is
typically presented as a beautiful
combination of gorgeous beaches dense
jungles and towering ancient cities you
know it’s basically everything you can
ever hope for in a dream getaway
vacation just be ready to deal with some
tough locals upon arrival after she
hands out the metals how about you and
me taking a private tour of paradise
she wants me indeed number three
megacity one inside the walls the cursed
city stretching from Boston to
Washington DC
an unbroken concrete landscape based in
the Year 2070 judge dreads megacity one
is one of the three remaining regions to
have survived a cataclysmic nuclear war
saying they survived isn’t much of a
compliment either as the city is as
dreary unpleasant and crime-ridden as
you’d imagine a post-apocalyptic city to
be in fact it’s suffering from extreme
overpopulation issues with apartment
buildings being jam-packed with up to
50,000 people if that sounds like to tie
to squeeze for you well join the club of
people wandering the pollution packed
streets populated by ruthless gangs
instead you got options number two
metropolis home turf to a certain Man of
Steel metropolis is as prestigious and
metropolitan the cities you can imagine
perfectly mirroring the friendly and
colorful characteristics of Superman
himself metropolis is massive in scale
and prosperous in terms of its
well-developed economics Superman
co-creator Joe Shuster himself has
stated in the past that the major
metropolitan Canadian city of Toronto
has served as inspiration for metropolis
design due to its impressively stunning
skyline metropolis has even been
referred to by Frank Miller as the
perfect representation of New York City
in the daytime yes before we reveal our
top pick here are a few honorable
mentions
city of Townsville a safe haven for all
except on the bank is being robbed just
hold off everybody freeze number one
Gotham City want you to tell all your
friends about me I’m Batman
if metropolis is New York City in the
daytime Gotham is the blanket of night
that makes everything seem a little less
inviting no Gotham is actually not a
nice place to live
yep it’s populated by crooks killers and
corporate scumbags the city is
practically bursting at the seams with
problems but there’s never a dull moment
whether the Joker is filling the streets
with his laughing gas or the penguin is
trying to run for mayor there’s always
something crazy unexpected or downright
evil going on additionally Gotham’s
bleak nest lends itself nicely to a
certain caped crusader
giving him plenty of dark back alleys
and rooftops to prowl across in his
search for justice
