it used to be where the only DC character I enjoyed was Batman. Marvel was my universe. I here lately thanks to justice league reruns and Batman:Brave and the Bold I'm becoming a DC for the first time since I was still in single digits. I was always a silver age fan since most of the comics I read as a kid were from my dad's collection. I'm a third generation comic book geek. My grandfather collected in the golden age and my dad in the silver. BTW they need to bring Bruce Wayne back now!. I was happy when we got Hal Jordan back then they take away Wayne. I still read the punisher books religiously.

Marvel all the way.
Not that I don't like some DC Characters but I find that Marvel has more appealing characters.

DC characters are goofy looking as hell. And the only thing DC really has going for it is Batman. Everything else is dumb. The cool kids read Marvel, DC is special ed. |

I was a massive Marvel comics fan back in the 90s, collected alot of X-men and Avengers comics but since Batman, Superman and the Justice League cartoons. I have been coaxed over to DC.

Iunno I want both companies to get back to basics. no more massive crossovers or retcons. I didn't mind when aunt may was shot. it could've added more drama to the characters. I hated the death of captain america only to bring him back again. Bruce Wayne dying in DC was also a waste of time. Not that I mind dick grayson becoming batman it's just weird. on top that tim drake being fired as robin gives me a headache. matter of fact I'm not a fan of Damian Wayne period. but these are minor gripes.

honestly I love both, Thor, Hulk and Captain America are my fav marvel characters, and GL, Batman, and flash are my fav DC characters, both companies have great writers, for those of you who are marvel only I strongly suggest checking out geoff johns, and for those who are hardcore DC check outEd Brubaker Johns has done great with Green Lantern and Brubaker has done great on his run of Captain America

I read marvel. Marvel as a company has been successful because of their rich continuity. There are minor faux pas here and there, a little retconning, (thankfully I don't read spiderman...sorry spidey fans about OMD) I'm a huge X-men fan and probably always will be. I like that there isn't a reset button hit every coupl of years. DC may have some cooler stories going on sometimes but they just erase it with a crises here, a zero hour there, maybe a little dash of blackest night.
I also like the fact that the characters in marvel seem to be more different from each other, and have a little more humanity to them. DC has so many uber powered gods for characters and the unbeatable batman. But a lot of there characters are the same exact thing. Example: Bat family(nightwing, batman, red hood, hush, catwoman, batgirl, huntress, robin) Marvel Family, Green lantern Corpse. (now i'm a fan of GL, and even hate marvel's nova because I think it is a lame attempt at a rip-off of the GL corps. A lot of people don't like marvel because of the continuity also, because there is so much history with all of the characters and so many loose ends that aren't taken back up for years. But if you aren't a fan of a Marvel book, pick up X-factor. Start with Trades and work your way up. Peter David reminds me so much of Larry Hamma in the way he can write three different stories in the same book. He does it well. Like I said though I stick primarily with X-men, but branch out to the Avengers and Capt America. I couldn't tell you one way or another about Hulk (which I here is going badly now), spidey (OMD), or many other titles. Really between X-men stories and Avengers stories that is about 60% of the entire marvel universe. |
