Marvel or DC?

*Slap-Happy* · 05-24-2010, 08:06 PM

Which one is your favorite?

Marvel, because I like most of their characters much more than DC.

*Candy Kappa* · 05-25-2010, 01:49 AM

that's a hard pickle. Batman is my favorite comic book character, but i have more knowledge about the marvel universe

*Luzmagica* · 05-25-2010, 02:27 AM

LOL!!! I got Marvel, my brother had DC....a perfect combination to enjoy both Universes!!!!! Recomended!!!

*plastroncafe* · 05-25-2010, 09:00 AM

For me, the problem with the DC universe is that it's too iconic. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Justice League, they aren't characters so much as they are pillars of comicdom. They're...buildings, for lack of a better term. And to paraphrase a line from the movie "Big":

"What's fun about a building?"

That said, when given the choice of a Marvel or a DC animated series, I'll always take DC.

*Spitfire* · 05-25-2010, 06:21 PM

I like both for different reasons. Both have had great writing it just boils down to what characters you personally like. From Marvel's side I mainly like Moon Knight, Punisher, and Spider-man. From the DC side I like Batman, The Question, and on occasion Super-man.

If I absolutely had to pick though it would be Marvel. Of the stories I have read the Marvel ones I enjoyed the most out weigh the DC ones. I also find the characters appearances more interesting then DC. DC is amazing at fleshing out characters though even if they are dull to look at.

I love DC way more than Marvel. Really the only Marvel character I truly love is the Punisher. Otherwise I almost always go with DC. Especially Vertigo. Some of the best written comics ever come from vertigo.

Two weeks! Two weeks!

This is a very hard question. Couldn't there have been a choice that says can't decide.

**GK Punk** · 05-25-2010, 07:45 PM

What's with not being able to choose both?

Spacebabie · 06-04-2010, 11:03 PM

Both.

of course we all like Mirage. I like Slave Labor when they were publishing Gargoyles comic books and I like several manga companies.

jaymq · 06-08-2010, 10:18 PM

Voted: Neither

Dark Horse..

Though, if someone saw my collection, DC might be tops. I used to collect Superman back in his electric blue/red days, got the whole on-going stuff there. Plus many of the Elseworlds Batman and Superman were involved in.

Shellsweet · 06-27-2010, 11:44 PM

Marvel, Hands down. I love their Characters and Plots.

*Andrew NDB* · 06-28-2010, 12:16 AM

DC, I guess, but the whole company direction there sickens me of late. And it's not going to get better anytime soon.

Same.

I picked Marvel....I guess?

I figure I owe it to them since I have two of their characters tattooed on me...But I really dig a bunch of DC characters and comic Arcs.

Why can't this thread have a harmony option? My DC Classics Superboy (90'ssssssss) and War Machine could find peace together on my desk.

*Samhain* · 07-04-2010, 08:27 PM

I love both so I voted for potatoes.

*Shark_Blade* · 07-04-2010, 10:08 PM

DC because Batman > Spiderman.

Other superheroes doesn't hold a candle against those two.

*Krutch* · 07-04-2010, 10:30 PM

DC. Growing up I liked Marvel, but I grew tired and annoyed of all the angst and started to enjoy DC's stories better. Their stories were more about "Gods on Man's Earth" than Marvel's "super-powered puberty".

Charlotte_Sometimes · 07-16-2010, 12:32 AM

I voted Marvel.
Firstly... because of Squirrel Girl and the GLA!

And secondly, because I just find the Marvel characters (in general) and Marvel universe alot more fun and interesting.

DC has WonderWoman, Batman, and Superman... But beyond that, it didn't snatch my attention much. Well, the JLA is pretty neat, and I'd even say more interesting than the Avengers, but that's all pretty much.

bedbugjones · 07-25-2010, 06:35 AM

Well A Year Ago I Would've Picked Marvel Since They Were Not Owned By A Blood Sucking Leech of A Company Such As DC/Warner Bros........

But of Course That isn't The Case Anymore...

So I Pick DC Because At Least DC/Warner Bros isn't Run By Nazi Republican Skinheads Such As The Fine Folks Over At Marvel/Disney...

...You Understand...

Image And Darkhorse Own Both of Their Asses However...

Shred87 · 07-31-2010, 09:33 PM

DC no question....maybe marvel has more B heros but they have nothing on the Big 3

*shuriken* · 08-14-2010, 07:54 PM

DC. Justice League owns the Avengers in terms of stories and such, plus Batman and the Green Lantern are two faves of mine. Nothing against Marvel though.
