Grant Morrison has written some of the greatest DC and Marvel comics of all time. Now, Morrison breaks down the difference between the two universes.

In their newsletter, writer Grant Morrison highlighted the key difference between DC and Marvel: DC favors personal artistic visions for its characters, while Marvel prioritizes a cohesive continuity.
The DC universe's "chaotic" continuity is what gives it its charm, according to Morrison, allowing for oddball energy and the coexistence of diverse characters.
Morrison's distinctive and imaginative takes on superheroes were made possible by DC's auteur approach, which in turn allowed them to also contribute to the Marvel universe with new, unique characters and concepts.
