This Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating love the only way comic book fans know how…

With a bracket.

Thirty-two comic book couples.
Head-to-head matchups.
Single elimination.
One champion.

In Part 1 of our Couples Tournament, Comic Book Block breaks down the full Round of 32, debating which relationships are built to last — and which ones should’ve broken up three reboots ago.

From Spider-Man & MJ to Superman & Lois…
Storm & Black Panther to Rogue & Gambit…
Harley & Ivy, Batman & Catwoman…
and yes… even Thanos, Deadpool, and Death.

Because nothing says romance like a supervillain love triangle and a body count.

Some of these couples are relationship goals.

Some are trauma bonds with superpowers.

And some?

How you save the multiverse but still can’t communicate?

By the end of Part 1, half these relationships are gone, feelings are hurt, and we’re already arguing like it’s Game 7.

It’s Valentine’s Day.

Love is in the air.

And chaos is in the bracket.
