As expected, DC Comics is a major category here at Comic Basics. DC Comics is a major player in the comic book industry and we absolutely had to devote a whole section to this publishing house and its famous works. But, of course, we’re always going beyond the likes of Batman and Superman, as well the Justice League, so we’re covering basically all the comic book stories, both the major titles, as well as the lesser-known ones that might end up becoming prominent pillars of DC at some point in the future.
The writers we have crafting these articles are extremely knowledgeable about DC Comics and its history. They have been reading these stories since they were children and via following up on the contemporary stories and ultimately consulting the historically-relevant past titles, they have become true encyclopedias and are willing to share their knowledge with you as best as they can. This is why these articles are written with so much passion and while our DC Comics writers are always giving it their best to provide you with the latest and best updates from the world of DC Comics. Whether it’s news, spoilers and announcements, analyses or anything else that comes to mind, our writers have got you covered and you can truly trust us to be the best and most reliable source of DC-related information you’ll need.
