So, this Friday marks the premiere of Independence Day: Resurgence and the return of the seminal alien
invasion film to the big screen.
It’s a pretty major event, both as a major summer blockbuster and as an
indicator of the growing force of nostalgia for the ‘90s. We’ll see if the Independence Day lightning can really strike twice but for right
now let’s talk about alien invasions in comics.
The alien invasion is the perfect set-up for the world of
the superhero and while both DC and Marvel have thrown together an impressive
array of alien takeovers, today we focus on those from DC comics. There’s no real reason I’m emphasizing
DC, they’re just the company I’m most familiar with. DC has a vast history of alien invasions, some of them
amazing, some mediocre, and some absolutely terrible and today we’re going to
get the full spectrum on all of them.
