Message-ID: <1328@pur-phy.UUCP> Date: Fri, 11-May-84 13:41:01 EDT Article-I.D.: pur-phy.1328 Posted: Fri May 11 13:41:01 1984 Date-Received: Mon, 14-May-84 01:14:56 EDT Organization: Purdue University Physics Dept. Lines: 41 Dear readers, From all the contraversies which have plagued the network news, I wish to add one more. The topic is so versatile that I have made it my mission for the news. Why does everyone talk about D.C. (Distinct Crap). They have nothing to compare to the King, Marvel Comics. Though D.C. has always had the "Perfect" people, you can't learn from them at all. The characters in the Marvel comics are "human" and they aren't perfect. They may have mutant abilities like the X-men or Fantastic Four. They could also have developed physical or mental faculties like Daredevil or Professor Xavier. Characters like Superman and Batman are perfect and always have devices or machines to save them from breaking the barriers into Mankind. These superheroes can never really know the things their missing. The Marvel universe has such superheroes that D.C. could never touch. The Marvel Universe also has powerful supervillians that D.C. could never think of or create. Persons like the world devouring Galactus, who's cosmic power and Heralds have reeked havoc over the different comics. Others have super-human intelligence, used to control the destinies of others. Dr. Victor Von Doom is one such person. He's the antithesis of Reed Richards. Marvel can proudly boast of some of the best and longest running magazines. Such examples can be easily found, like: 1) Thor 2) Fantastic Four 3) The Incredible Hulk 4) The Uncanny X-men. So, to all those Distinct Crap readers who only read their D.C., they have no idea what they're missing. The Marvel Universe has tastes for everyone, from the Avengers to the mighty Thor. How many of you out there in Netland can actually say D.C. is really worth the money? Can you really say that their titles and material are really interesting?
