Batman, his villains, John Constantine: Hellblazer, and Neil Gaiman's Sandman are the only things that make me read DC Comics on any occasion.
So, Marvel. They got every other cool superhero, and they have a very distinct lack of that asshole Superman.
So yeah. Marvel! EXCELSIOR!!!

Marvel always seemed better in my eyes. Also, you think Superman's bad look at Black Adam, granted I like Black Adam.
If you're talking about just power, look at The Sentry. He was able to fight The Hulk (The new Hulk, who crushed Iron Man and broke both Colussuss' arms) to a standstill. He might be more powerful than Nate Gray, and the people who made him have openly stated that there's nothing he can't do. Hell, Sentry could fucking crush Superman.LivemeLifefree post=18.68761.639544 said:
Of course, he is completely emotionally dependent on his wife, and he has about as much emotional fortitude as Cloud Strife (Cid: sissy boy Cloud: (tearfully) NO I'M NOT!). Add that to the fact that he has an alternate personality (or something, they're never really clear about that) called The Void that counteracts everything he does, and you've got one fucked up superhero.
Which is exactly why I like him.
Apologies to the DC fans.
I like both companies and have favorites on both sides. However, as of late it feels like DC is slipping. I preferred the "civil war" nonsense over the "reality is breaking apart at the seams" nonsense.
Yes, I recognize that was ages ago I'm just putting up an example. Also, when they go off on a tangent, Marvel does stuff like "Marvel: 1602" whereas DC does stuff like "Superman and Batman vs Alien and Predator".

Well under DC comes Vertigo, so it's DC all the way with me.
I agree with the idea that Marvel comes across as less serious than DC. Even though it was a while back, look at the Black Mask/Spolier fight in War Games. That's some really nasty stuff.
DC do need to stop having Crises.Panayjon post=18.68761.639675 said:

DC. Alan Moore's writing is awesome.
Also, I think there should be a mention of Dark Horse in the poll... just my opinion.

for me it was always marvel, they consistently have better stories and such, dc can have some good ones from time to time but it's really hit and miss and it's mostly on their other imprints rather than the actual dc name
I think they have stopped, but I can't be sure. The only thing from DC that I still pick up is Justice League.Gapperjack post=18.68761.639778 said:
Agreed. Although the whole point of the New Avengers is to introduce a whole new team of super heroes every other issue. MVP for instance... who is but isn't a superhero at the same time. If I say anymore it would require a spoiler.Khell_Sennet post=18.68761.640469 said:

Although one of my favorite comics of all time is the name of this poll. Back in the 90s they actually had a Marvel VS DC comic, though only 3 issues. It was amusing. The Amalgam that happened afterwards is less memorable.
Just to note about Watchmen though, it doesn't take place in their DC universe, only published by them. That makes me not even really consider it DC. Much in the same way that a lot of games are being published by EA or Activision but the publisher doesn't really influence creation. Aside of course from throwing varying sums of money at the creators for every milestone they achieve.
