I like Marvel. Their characters are better and it seems easier to follow than DC. DC's charcters are always confusing to me and just plain boring. Which do you like better?

DC has Batman and V.

Marvel has Spiderman, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Deadpool, Hulk, Colossus, Venom, Carnage, Magneto, etc.

So DC.

To lump everything that happens to be Marvel vs. a lump of everything that happens to be DC doesn't make sense to me. I like some of DC's things, and I like some of Marvel's things. It comes down to the individual artists and authors, rather than companies.

There's a lot of junk in their roster...But Marvel has a lot of junk too. Infinite Crisis and 52 were pretty bad-ass, but that's about the time I stopped reading DC comics :?

I look at like this and this is the publishing aspect. For independent and non universe publishing DC is miles ahead of marvel and I choose those over any Marvel non-universe books. But when it comes to universe continuitys Marvels is just a lot better.

Are you insane? Princess Projectra had the amazing ability to cast illusions on anyone with 5 sense. She'd have Squirrel Girl chasing her own tail.

this is really hard for, i like both. green arrow is my all time fav hero, and i love the villain deadshot. and not to mention batmna of course. but then there is marvel, with such a huge collection of awesome, fun characters, plus the marvel civil war series was my favourite comic book story ever told, it was awesome. i dunno, i cant vote, dc has me number 1 fav hero and villain, and a bunch of others, but marvel has way more and better stories generally.

The body of work is better. I have also said in this thread I find the independent DC material to be much better than any other company,not just marvel. But the marvel universe alone and the body of work in it kills all the other companys. By the way that is a great comic you refrenced.

But really, the out of universe stuff from DC trumps pretty much anything bar the Black Library. Transmetropolitan is one of the best comics of all time, as is V for Vendetta. Marval just doesnt have anything as downright insane as Transmetopolitan. And after reading deff squadron and blood bowl, im not sure what could top them.

That I agree with and do not forget Watchmen and the quasi universe Vertigo material. And Spider Jerusalem is badass. FACT.

mattykovax

If we are including Vertigo material here then DC easily owns Marvel. I mean... Preacher, Transmetropolitan, Y: The Last Man, 100 Bullets, Swamp Thing, The Sandman... need I say more?

EDIT: Although I still say Fantagraphics and Drawn and Quarterly are by far the best Comic publishers, but hey :P
