Both sides of the comic fence are gearing up for big releases, with Marvel's Ultimate Alliance 2 hitting shelves this September and its rival, DC Universe Online, due out sometime next year. To date many super themed games have chosen to pitch their titles at established markets--that is, the people who already follow and love comics. Marvel Super Hero Squad is looking to shake things up a bit with its take on the superhero genre by offering play with established characters without needing prior comic book knowledge.
