DC or Marvel?
>>83355271
In terms of heroes?
Marvel. They're flawed and more "human".
DC has more mythic heroes, the big three, etc----and I dislike that. They seem like paragons or virtues rather than people.
Anon pls don't do thisDC tho[\spoiler]
No. Dark Horse or Vertigo?
>>83355271
DC. But I still like Marvel too.
DC has actual heroes
Marvel only has assholes with powers
>>83355271
Marvel for down to Earth stories.
DC for over the top cosmic stories.

I have always liked Marvel's universe more and tend to read more of it, but DC's is just as interesting and varied and I like plenty of their characters and stories as well. In fact DC is responsible for a great many of what I would call my favorite superhero comics despite my investment in Marvel.
I mean really if you follow writers to any degree you're gonna read both.
>>83355729
Really glad no one is falling for this.
>>83355271
Nah, DC _and_ Marvel
(and Dark Horse and Glenat and Interpresse and Dupuis and Valiant and Image and Carlsens and... etc. etc.)
>>83355271
It's personal taste. Neither is objectively better than the other as a whole.

DC, but I have no ill-will to Marvel, I just find the DCU a more interesting place in terms of history, cosmology and characters.
whoever does good x-men stories
so neither
>>83355271
>>83355271
DC.
I'm a cape fan and Supes, Spiderman and Batman are the big dogs. That gives DC the win 2-1. Obviously now I'm invested in the DC-verse and don't have time to read marvel.
DC, for no real reason.
>>83356036
>I mean really if you follow writers to any degree you're gonna read both.
King/Abnett/Johns are my favourite three. All DC exclusive lol.
DC by a mile. Its universe is so much more interesting.
I only read Deadpool, Spider-Man and Iron Man from Marvel.
>>83356143

Everytime I see these threads, there's always a couple anons talking about DC's strengths, how it values legacies and a more mythological approach to its superheroes.
Then to that end, what are Marvel's strengths?also DC
DC because they don't recicle their plotlines every 5 years.
>>83356143
Harbinger is like X-Men but goodand chaotic neutral as fuck.
>>83356184
All three have written for Marvel.
>>83356151
I don't know who any of these are
>>83356285
Yeah, it was mostly a joke at the current state of things. My all time favourite is Mark Waid and he fucking hates DC now (I'm a Flash fag)
>>83356245
I think Marvel's got a pretty damn cool mythology as well. The real pseudo-mythical philosophical material comes from the trippy Cosmic shit. The Earth stuff is fine, great stories and runs, but it doesn't typically interest me as a whole outside of how it interacts with the Cosmic stuff.
People say that that the Earth stuff is more down to earth or relatable or whatever but I've never found this to be the case for one company more than the other.
>>83355890
>cosmic
Marvel Cosmic is better though. DC has better global-heroism stories.
>>83355729

even Omega Men has been better than anything from Marvel
>>83357177
You're crazy if you think anything Guardians of the Galaxy is the best thing to come from Cosmic.
And I'm a huge GOTGfag.
>>83355271
DC.
DC has super heroes.
Marvel has murderers that work for the government.
>>83357070
>Jack Kirby's Fourth World
Wow.
>>83357177
I hate Marvel, but I have to accept that Annihilation was way better than that awful GL event.
>>83357392
Sinestro Corps War? nah.
>>83356326
>My all time favourite is Mark Waid
eww
Always been a marvel man. Love the characters, the flaws, thereal cities, the villains. The cosmic stuff was always a big element for me. Marvel cosmic despite how its been handled lately is just so vast and strange and cool. With figures like ego , silver surfer, galactus, eternity, quasar, the celestials, the stoat empire, the kree. Just this vast endless supply of stories and characters.
The marvel universe always felt like a more tangible thing than the dc. Dc has this dynasty. This we were here first element marvel can never pass. There's something classic and mythical about their universe. But for me marvel felt more like this actual place id justvisit. Spiderman wasn't an archetype from some mystical place. He was a guy with shit luck from new york. The fantastic four bickered like a family about family shit. Banner was a world weary worldly man...he was travelled. Marvel just felt more tactile to me. Something I could reach out and touch.
Then there were the x-men. When I first read xmen..that sealed the deal. I couldn't go to dc and read about fucking superman after that
You kidding me?! They were cool. They were strange and unloved by society and really fucking cool. They had guys like wolverine and gambit and rogue and they were everything a fat unpopular boy growing up in the late 80s wished he could be. And they were just this huge chunk of the universe. Man I miss being able to open an x book and know good stuff was coming. But yeah I'll always be a marvelfag.
>Hydra Cap vs Rebirth.
I think the answer is obvious.
>>83357369
I don't agree with him that either is necessarily better but I do like Marvel more in that regard. Neither has been capitalized on fully but I think the Eternals have had more success than the New Gods outside of Derrick Sayid.
>>83355271
Marvel, since I was young.But if you like DC, that's cool too and I hope they fix your movie universe.
>>83355271
Why not both?
>>83357369
Kirby FF, Eternals, Starlin Cosmic.
>>83357369
Reminder that Kirby's best work will forever and always be Fantastic Four, followed by The Demon.
I'm going to say marvel since moon knight and punisher are some of my favorites, but DC is also pretty cool because of the JL. But DC really needs to up their movie game
>>83357828
>I hope they fix your movie universe.
FUCK YOU
>>83355271
DC, even the N52 wasn't that much of a screw up as Marvel "SJW now
DC, but that's because I really feel like I can only keep up with one at a time.
But truth be told, I just love Supes.
DC, I've been a DC fag for as long as I can remember. I started to read comics a few years ago, and decided to give Marvel a go with ANAD, but I just can't the main avengers book has already had 2 issues that are event issues, and God knows how many shitty civil war 2 tie ins. This and the fact that they'll just reboot in a year (is Marvel Now! 2016 a reboot) means I just can't get into it. But hey, nothing beats those #1 issue sale numbers I guess
Marvel. Love the characters, love the universe, no complaints.
I like DC's lesser known characters like Captain Atom, Booster Gold, Power Girl, Blue Beatle, etc, but I never liked Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman, and DC feels the need to shove them in everywhere.
Plus DC has been kinda grossing me out in every comic by having some edgy gore shit.
>>83355271
The patrician answer is DC.
>>83357828
And we hope they fix your comics.
Everybody's got problems.
>>83355903

>Good stories at all

>>83355271
I prefer Marvel over DC, but I do have both on my shelves
>>83355271
DC
X-Men > DC > Rest of Marvel
>>83355729
Spoken like someone that's never actually read a comic.
>>83355271
I would say dc since I grew up with the comics more and I have more knowledge and admiration of Dc. I did have a lot of love for Spider-Man, hulk, and The xmen as a kid but there hasn't been a good comic of them in years.
>>83355890
This image always struck me as stupid..
First- superman wouldn't have let it happen
Second- If it DID, supes would probably be cool with it and not start a fight. Cap would probably buy supes a beer or something
I read what I feel like reading. What kind of faggot would limit themselves based on a small sticker on a cover of a book?

>>83359408
Who the fuck are these two fags? I keep seeing them all over the damn place.
>>83355271
DC for comics with actual stories and based straight to DVD cartoons, Marvel for big budget action comedies in theaters.
Other than Miller's Daredevil and the Death of Captain Marvel, are there any Marvel stories that rank amongst the best of all-time? Obviously nothing better than DC's best but anything other than corny bullshit?
>>83355271
DC because their superheroes actually do superhero things
As opposed to, you know

DC. I like their characters and the way they handle the universe better.
Though there's some Marvel stories I need to read some day, but nothing from the last five years or so. Maybe one day when they get their shit together.
>>83358867

Except that Alan Moore hates everything he's done for DC, and almost everything else has been fish rape.
Still wish he'd gone through with writing All-Star Green Lantern.

Yes and I'm not spoon feeding you. If you actually give a shit and aren't just trying to justify your ignorance then do some research.
>>83355271
DC for me Im excited about the rebirth
>>83359754
Ditto, only DC/Marvel comic I'm reading is Moon Knight
>>83355271
The Vision or The Red Tornado??
>>83355271
DC.
>>83355866
Marvel doesn't have villains either. That's why all their heroes have to fight each other every two months.
>>83357503
I liked his Flash and Superman: Birthright.
>>83355271
That logo is out of date

lol ok champ
DC
DC's been putting out mostly great books for a while now (even if DCYou sold like shit) and Rebirth looks even fucking better.
I used to read Spider-man and X-men but stopped when they turned to shit and I've heard things have only gotten worse. Am reading Vision which is great....too bad it's literally the only good book Marvel is putting out. Also Marvel's constant sjw pandering, relaunches (even though normies still say it's DC that does this all the time) and making everything like the MCU just puts me off even more.
>mfw we'll never have a friendly cross-over because of that faggot Quesada
Dc, for a multitude of reasons but I still love quite a few Marvel comics.
>>83360612
>DUDE I INSULT EVERYBODY BECAUSE I'M AN INSECURE PRICK WITH A SHITTY JOB AND A DYING FAMILY LMAO
>>83359554
>Marvel stories that rank amongst the best of all-time?
Define best of all time. Do you mean popular? Widely-acclaimed? Great in our totally subjective opinions?
Marvel, just because their connected universe has more in it I gravitate to. I like Punisher comics, and so far I haven't seen a DC character that captures that same feel. I like the shared world of Luke Cage, Danny Rand, and their supporting cast, and I'd probably read something by DC that could capture a similar street level with powers feel. Their interconnected cosmic world with the Celestials, the cosmic abstracts, and the various alien empires is more interesting to me than a spectrum organizations with different colored rings.
I like Batman, if the story is written well, I like Superman if the writer seems to get him enough to write a good story out of it, and I think I'd probably like Constantine too, but I've never given it a shot. That's pretty much it in terms of my investment in DC.
>>83360736
>mfw we'll never have a friendly cross-over because of that faggot Quesada
I feel you bro. I think part of it is also because Disney own Marvel now, but the bigger part of it is cause Quesada is a faggot who doesn't let Fury and Wolverine smoke.
That image of Fury smoking in Punisher Max did make me so fucking happy though.
>>83360717
Nobody likes that book, there's a reason it got cancelled.
Your bait-fu is weak.
Currently...
Marvel has a handful of titles I'm buying or trade-waiting.
DC has one title I plan to buy, but by going bi-weekly they've halved my interest.
>>83359770
The fuck does this even mean anymore? Do all 12 years just spam it at things they don't like?
>>83355271
Neither. Both mostly produce mediocre or worse comics nowadays.
The amount of faggots in here saying they like Marvel because of the shitty movies just proves how many plebes post on this board.
I have nothing against Marvel, but DC's output in combination with Vertigo/Wildstorm/ABC absolutely shits on the 'house of ideas'. I'm almost positive the people in this thread haven't read any comics before MAYBE 2000.
>>83356151
that sure is a lot of whiteys
>>83361705
Yeah, Jack Kirby is renowned for his post-2000s output.
I've hated every single Marvel comic I've ever tried to read. Tried reading Jessica Jones after I saw the show and I hated it. So definitely DC for comics, but I definitely prefer the MCU to the DCEU, even though DC has put out good movies in the past but probably overall Marvel is better at movies.
I like fantasy genre comics, and recently DC's been treating the fantasy side of their universe better than the small amount that Marvel's put out.
>>83361763
What? Do you really expect there to be a lot BLACK heroes? Need I remind you heroes don't steal bikes or televisions?
>>83362006
What are you currently following in that genre?
DC because that's where I started. It's not a matter of preference, just circumstance.
>>83362153
Nothing from the Big 2 currently. But in the last half decade, DC's had good runs on Aquaman, Demon Knights, Swamp Thing, Sword of Sorcery, and Wonder Woman, with additional fantasy elements popping up in places like Animal Man, Batwoman, Earth 2, Forever Evil A.R.G.U.S., and Justice League.
Marvel's just had Journey into Mystery, an arc of Savage Wolverine, and Thor: God of Thunder.
>>83361878
You have known better when reading a character created by Bendis.
You think those threads are a joke? He really is that fucking bad
>>83355271
Marvel, but only through about 86 or so, there's some good stuff after that, the magic is gone, imo.
DC kicks the shit out of Marvel when it comes to events and shit like 52, though.
That said, I'm way more focused on creators like Kirby, Ditko, Simonson, Buscema, Stern and Giffen than on companies or characters.
>>83362610
>Demon Knights
I haven't read much DC, but something about Etrigan seems interesting to me. I might check that out.
>>83362610
Add Dial H too
Trying to enjoy both.
But I actually like the stuff DC shills, while I can't stand Cap, Thor, Hulk, or SHIELD. I like all the stuff Fox and Sony have the movie rights to that they're sabotaging.

>>83358867

I chose to read DC just because i wouldn have enough time (or money) to read both DC and Marvel. I haven't regreted since.
DC. Marvel's form of "human" usually just means a pile of fuck ups and while there are people like that too many of thier characters try to be relatable by screaming "See they suck just like you!"
DC while certainly having more godlike heroes in power are also human but in the best way and even when they make mistakes the many of the stories are about them trying to overcome thier shortcomings and be better people and in doing so be better heroes.
So if I can read a comic that has a happy ending with The Flash saving his wife by going faster than fast, than dammit In all in.
>>83364871
These days $20 would buy you 4 top Marvel books while you can get 6 for $18 at DC. When I saw Captain America, Black Panther and Gwenpool were all $4.99 I decided to stop giving them my money
>>83366043
>Gwenpool
>$4.99
Y-You're joking right? Didn't it sell like fucking gangbusters as well?
>>83355993
same
I'm jumping into DC with Rebirth. The only Marvel stuff I care about is the X-Men, but Marvel hates X-Men readers.
The only thing I'm really looking forward to from either of them right now is Shade the Changing Girl and maybe Doom Patrol, so DC I guess.
>>83356315
>>83363626
valiant comics roster. also a shared universe like the big 2
>>83366115
Nope, and yes it did. You honestly have to be a complete cuck to pay that much for a floppy. I won't be part of Marvels toxic business practices anymore. Shame since I love the universe
>>83366174
Maybe you should try Inhumans?said no one fucking ever
>>83365392
Couldn't have said it better myself. While I vastly prefer DC (Vertigo included), I do like Spider-Man, Hulk, and X-Men.
>>83356264
Yea, which is still a solid neither :p
Totally looking forward to Harbinger movie, if it ever gets off the ground.
>>83355271
DC has always felt more 'at home' for me, if you get what I mean
Whenever I'm reading a Marvel comic everything feels so beige and awkward, like i'm in somebody elses bathroom
plus i just straight up dont like the colour scheme for the majority of the A-list heroes, and they pop up in basically every comic
>>83358711
>all your comics mixed up like that
fuck i can tell its alphabetical but god it looks awful
like i'm sorry its your shelf and do what you want with it, do what makes you happy and all that but it legit looks like garbage i'm really sorry anon
>>83373107
I actually just changed it this week, I was tired of having them speperated and just wanted it to look at something diffrent
>>83355271
I prefer Marvel, but acting like either one is exceptionally better than the other is childish.
Both have had great and shit stories, creators, characters, what have you.
Of their current material put out though, I think DC's looks more interesting, but I haven't paid much attention to either company's current work.
Sergio Bonelli Editore. better comics and bigger sells than Marvel and Dc combined.
DC. I don't feel at home with Marvel.
I'd rather aspire to be a paragon than relate to an asshole, even though the asshole is 'more human'.
Plus a myriad of other reasons.
>>83355271
Neither
>>83359165
>implying Cap would commit that mistake in the first place
But yeah. They'd go about it like two candid gentlemen, and then become chums
BOTH
DC. Marvel's brain trust of Bendis, Slott, Brevoot, Alonso and Quesada irritate me in ways it's hard to describe.
Personally DC, but I hold no hate for marvel. I just like good superhero stories.
>>83355271
I love both but DC is my favorite.
