DC or Marvel?

presspirate · 01-05-2009, 01:04 PM

I was at the used book store with my family the other day, and my son and I were browsing through the comic books. It was a 2 sided display, one side was DC and one side was Marvel. I gravitated towards the Marvel section as I tend to enjoy and be more familiar with the characters. So KATG comic book fans my question to you is DC or Marvel and why. Discuss...

Marvel has X-Men, XCalibur, Spiderman, The Hulk, etc.

DC has Batman and Superman, classics, but I never got into the comics. I think the older generation appreciates DC more.

If anything Image comics was the only one that stood a chance against Marvel for me. With Spawn, Night Thrasher, etc.

I don't read comics so I only know these from the cartoons from the 90s and beyond. I'm going with DC because of Batman the Animated Series and Justice League were phenomenal. I find DC more dark and serious whereas Marvel is just cartoonish and childish.

DC. Batman is my homeboy.

I worked at a comic book store, so obviously I've been asked this question before.

I say, fuck them both. Read old Mad instead, like me.

Actually,I never said that. I'd guess I have to go with Marvel because I loved the X-Men and Spiderman and all their respected(?) spin-offs before I discovered Robert Crumb.

Hands down DC had the better cartoons.

I actually like a little of both, but I probably read more Marvel. DC still almost won my vote on account of the goddamned Batman.

why does everyone like Batman so much?
granted, the cartoons and movies were cool, but he's not even a proper superhero.
