90s was like their weakest decade bruh.

They were incredible in the 80s, and then again in the 00s.

New 52 was mostly good, with a little bit of great, and some really shit stuff.

60s and 70s I gotta hand it to Marvel, they were way ahead of their time, mixing up sci-fi and soap opera drama with cape stories. I really love early FF and Spidey comics, although Batman was pretty great in the 70s after O'Neil took up writing duties, and the early 70s Green Lanern/Green Arrow team up,

Then by your definition (Not amazing, not shit) then it was mostly meh.

>>82603779

I'd say half of it was "whatever, not for me" and half of it was entertaining to read, with a few very good titles like Batman, Animal Man and JL3K.

Just about every (I'm assuming we're talking crossovers) major Marvel event in the past decade has sucked, while DC has had a way better batting average, simply by not doing them every goddamn year.

Well, yeah, if you count alternative imprints then there's not even a contest; I was talking about main titles. In the 90s both DC and Marvel were putting out the most horrible capeshit ever published.

Their elseworlds line has some pretty great titles.

Marvel doesn't have an equivalent to Vertigo.

Superman and Batman ARE iconic. And older. As much as I love Captain America, and Spidey, the Cap is younger than Bat and Supes by about two years. Add like it or not, more people know Bat and Supes than most other superheroes.

They still have the best superhero movies with the Batman (not counting Spiderman 2)

....thats about it really. There are some great designs, but the same applies to Marvel, Image, and everything else.

I said their weakest decade, not that they weren't putting out good stuff, or that they were in any way worse than Marvel.

Sure, we had a LOT of good comics too, and DC put out a lot more good stuff than Marvel, but the bad comics were REALLY bad.

I mean, Emerald Twilight/Zero Hour, Death and Return of Supes, Knightfall, ELECTRIC Superman, whatever the FUCK it was they did to Guy Gardner, EXTREME Justice, basically all of 90s Wonder Woman

It's not 90s Marvel levels of bad, but it was still pretty bad.

DC writers like Johns, Waid and Thomas went above and beyond to keep old shit memorable and bring forgotten characters back into the spotlight; plus they try hard to preserve their original appeal.

Meanwhile, there is literally no characters they won't butcher or lore they won't squander to turn a profit.

>>
>>82605948
yeah pretty sure I'm on /co/, so why would movies matter in this discussion?
>>
>>82603239
I've liked their movies a lot.

Loved Man of Steel, BvS had flaws but did a lot I liked and I'm looking forward to the Director's Cut.

On the comics side they had some amazing stuff in the 80s and 90s with Vertigo and the Morrison era on JLA.

Johns did some great shit in the early-mid 2000s with Flash, GL and Action Comics.

New 52 had some fucking godtier comics like Swamp Thing and Wonder Woman.

DC You gave us Midnighter, Prez and Constantine the Hellblazer.

Rebirth is giving us Rucka Woman, Tom King in a higher profile, Rob Williams doing Suicide Squad.

I really can't complain much about DC.

Only bad thing is TV is doing pretty shit what with Felicity the show, Legends completely off the rails, Supergirl dull as hell and Based Flash really not being so Based these days. We need Wellsobard to return and save us from this shit desu. That one time travel episode was a huge bright spot in a season of mediocrity.
