#Superman #DC #ComicBooksThe Rise and Fall of MARVEL KNIGHTSOwen Likes Comics2023-08-17 | In this video, Owen explains the history of Marvel Knights, how Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti changed comics forever, and the legacy of this ambitious imprint.
Marvel Knights was an imprint of Marvel Comics. Dealing with more mature themes than the regular imprint, it was intended more for teenagers rather than children. However, it did not deal with the adult themes touched on by the Marvel MAX imprint. The imprint was meant to revive old, lesser-known characters who had lapsed in popularity. The imprint originated in 1998 when Marvel outsourced four titles (Black Panther, Daredevil, Punisher, and The Inhumans) to Joe Quesada's Event Comics company. Event hired the creative teams for the Knights line while Marvel published them. The imprint has since been folded back into Marvel's standard methods of publication, and is used to single out Marvel's "edgier" titles.

The Death of Superman is a 1992 storyline that served as the catalyst for DC Comics' crossover event of 1993.

The storyline, devised by editor Mike Carlin and the Superman writing team of Dan Jurgens, Roger Stern, Louise Simonson, Jerry Ordway, and Karl Kesel, met with enormous success: the Superman titles gained international exposure, reaching the top of comics sales charts and selling out overnight. The event was widely covered by national and international news media.

The X-Men are a group created by Professor Charles Xavier as a response to the emergence of naturally occurring superhumans known as mutants among the baseline human society. Dedicated to promoting a dream of peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans, Xavier trained his X-Men in the use of their mutant powers at the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, forging them into defenders of a world that hates and fears them. Over the years, the heroes of mutantkind found their mission constantly endangered by both reactionary humans and fanatic mutants. Currently, the X-Men have rebranded themselves as a super hero team who act for the people of Krakoa.

In the name of his murdered parents, Bruce Wayne wages eternal war on the criminals of Gotham City. He is vengeance. He is the night. He is Batman. One of the most iconic fictional characters in the world, Batman has dedicated his life to an endless crusade, a war on all criminals in the name of his murdered parents, who were taken from him when he was just a child. Since that tragic night, he has trained his body and mind to near physical perfection to be a self-made Super Hero. He's developed an arsenal of technology that would put most armies to shame. And he's assembled teams of his fellow DC Super Heroes, like the Justice League, the Outsiders and Batman, Incorporated. A playboy billionaire by day, Bruce Wayne’s double life affords him the comfort of a life without financial worry, a loyal butler-turned-guardian and the perfect base of operations in the ancient network of caves beneath his family’s sprawling estate. By night, however, he sheds all pretence, dons his iconic scalloped cape and pointed cowl and takes to the shadowy streets, skies and rooftops of Gotham City.
