It has taken many years, and many arguments but I have finally chosen a side...I enjoy Marvel Comics more then DC. Now I am sure there has been grand debates about which one is better, but I just find Marvel Comics more interesting and their characters a little more interesting. Don't get me wrong, I love DC (the outsiders is my favorite at the moment) but, if I had to get into a gang war at the Comic Con, I'm goin with the guys dressed as the X-men and Captain America.
Let the arguments begin.
i don't have a side. dc has my favourites, but marvel probably has a bigger selection of greats-though-not-favourites.
I'm in no way a comic book guy but I think DC comics are written better, have better characters and have that darker edge more often but Marvel comics are just more enjoyable in pretty much every way.
Yeah, DC usually has the gritter edge but Marvel always has some thinkers. Like their whole Civil War story arc was pretty bad ass and got you pondering.Quote:

Well there's Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, The Punisher, the Hulk, Iron Man and Captain America vs. Superman, Batman, .......well that's pretty much all that's worth mentioning.
The choice is pretty clear. Although DC did spawn Teen Titans, which is an awesome cartoon.
I think Marvel is better overall, but that DC's best work is better than Marvel's best work
What are you, 12?Quote:

Also, you left out The Flash, Green Lantern and the Alan Moore DC stuff.Quote:

The flash just recently got interesting for the first time in a long time. Green Lantern should definitely be on the list though.Quote:

THey both suck right now
Marvel MAX and vertigo ftw
I am still trying to catch up with the last few years of comics. I just finished the complete House of M story arc and Civil War story arc...I enjoyed them both.Quote:

Plus I don't really dig the fake cities.
Although with the limited comic book knowledge I have, I think it's pretty clear that the DC universe characters could beat the fucking shit out of the Marvel universe.
edit: not that that's strictly relevant, but, i'm just saying.
Whatever! Sentry has the power of a thousand exploding suns! Superman gots only one sun.Quote:

That may be so, but Superman has the power of as many Deus Ex Machinas as the writers can be lazy enough to throw in there.Quote:

You're an idiot. That was hyperbole. He's not really that strong.Quote:
