Data Story Overview

I decided to compare DC and Marvel Comics search trends in the last 12 months across the United States, China, and the UK.

Marvel and DC are the two biggest comic book companies in the world. There was a time when they only appealed to the niche selection of people that were into comic books, but thanks to the success of the cinematic universe that both Marvel and DC are creating, they have been elevated to some of the biggest franchises in the entertainment industry.
