Title: Marvel or D.C. whos your favorite.
Post by: DevilLoss on June 26, 2011, 12:27:10 am: so i noticed this is the comic book+normal book section so why not start one of those age old debates, about the two most famous comic book empires. this is simple state your favorite wiether it be d.c./marvel or both also your favorite heroes/villians from both and why your side of the comic coin is better.

PLEASE do not add in characters from other comic book dealers also please do not bring in non d.c. / Marvel related comics like dark horse ETC.

DC has historically been sillier and hokier, but they've consistently had better writing than Marvel over the past 15 or so years. Almost everything Marvel does lately comes across as a gimmick... not that I'm super excited about the reboot DC is planning.

Post by: Korugar on July 01, 2011, 04:30:44 am: Hmm, I'd have to say Marvel, but only just barely. Though I'm not too excited about Spider-Man's reboot(a year or two ago). He's my favorite comic book character, an I personally think Bendis made a big mistake removing MJ.

On the flipside, I also like Batman, for various reasons. But I'm still going to go with Marvel, I suppose.

One thing about DC that always annoyed me was the whole disconnect from our world. Metropolis? Gotham? Marvel characters are based in the real world.

Plus I really just loved the real problems their characters had from such an early point. Being blind, alcoholism, picked on kid etc.

Post by: Firenotes on November 30, 2011, 01:25:05 am: Marvel ftw. More interesting stories, more interesting characters, and just better quality writing as a whole. Plus superman is a horrible character. The only thing DC has for me is Batman.

Post by: Winter Is Coming on January 26, 2012, 10:48:03 pm: I generally lean more toward DC, just because that's what first got me started in comics. But I'd say it's about a 60/40 split between DC/Marvel in my current reading habits.

Marvel fan boy over here. DC is dark and i love the Lanterns (all the colors). But a super powerful space police like the Lanterns is pretty much all over in Marvel. You got Guardians of the Galaxy, Infinity Watch, One Above All, Galactus (kinda not really) the Living Tribunal etc. I like super powerful people fighting super powerful people, I like space, and I like crossovers. While DC does give that, Marvel gives it much better.
