DC or MArvel comics

Gillen on Uncanny X-Men has gone a long way to repair the damage done by people like Fraction, though it seems like executive meddling is going to destroy all his good work.

As far as my own personal preference goes, I go where my favourite characters are written well. From the Late 80s to Early 00s, that was Marvel. Then I started to read DC, and realised what they were capable of. Plus, when you compare the heroes I love:

Superman - Getting Huge props right now.
Aquaman - He's back in a big way.
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) - Solid book every month.
Flash (Wally West) - Missing, but it's only a matter of time.
Nightwing (Dick Grayson) - Has his own good quality book.
Green Arrow (Oliver Queen) - Kinda crap right now.
Red Tornado (John Smith) - Still waiting to see what they do with him.
Geo-Force - See above.
Wonder Woman - Solid solo book, and a good appearance in JL.
Kimiyo Hoshi - Needs to come back.
Batman - Good books.
Jason Todd - Comic is starting to get good.
Catwoman - all kinds of awesome (and anyone calling it sexist doesn't know the meaning of the word).

Then we look at Marvel:

Cyclops - Treated like shite. And now they're splitting him and Emma up. Marvel might as well just have him suffer a stroke at this point, as that would make me more inclined to read.
Colossus - ...I'm weeping on the inside.
Psylocke, Archangel, Iceman and Emma... Yeah, f*ck it.
Silver Surfer - Meh.
Hank Pym - Dan Slott puts in two years of good work only to get f*cked over by petty Bendis. At least things started to get better.
Hulk - Greg Pak can f*ck off, frankly.
Avengers - Balls.
Daredevil - One of the few bright spots, though I have fallen behind.

And don't get me started on what they've done with Magneto, Namor and Sinister.

Then you have people like Kabuki and Shi, who are barely around anymore.

So yeah, DC is where I go now, because I have faith in the writers. The Marvel characters are my preference, but for me, DC consistently puts out better books, and has for a while now.

Really?

you need to check out some more books from Marvel then but i suppose you've gone all DC now.

I do check out a handful of MU titles, but unfortunately they cancel all the ones I like. Iron Fist and Captain Britain for example. 🙁

If Birds of Prey had a lineup I liked, that included Lady Blackhawk, then I'd read it.

Ah okay......for the other good titles from Marvel besides Uncanny X-Force

Punisher & also Max
Ghost Rider
Venom
The Incredible Hulk
Spider-Man
Captain America

but i guess have to be interested in those characters i suppose.

Lady Blackhawk will be appearing soon in Blackhawks. And BOP is one of the best Bat titles on the shelf. It's damn awesome. Surprising too, because everyone thought they would HATE it, but it's been getting some stellar reviews and the consensus on the boards is that pretty much everyone loves it.

Starling is one of the best new characters that have come out in a while.

Ghost Rider, Hulk, and Spidey are on my top 10 favorite heroes list. I should probably check out the new Hulk run. I've hated what they have done with Spidey, but the new run is getting some good reviews, so maybe I should check that out as well.

i've been keeping up with it, but i'm still not happy with how he's being written for the most part. it's not bad, it's just not what i was hoping for.

I'm only a fan of LB if she's with the other girls, and as for BOP, the roster does nothing for me.

I like both, and both have significant characters to champion. But if had to choose between which two universe I prefer, it's Marvel.

I like DC and Marvel equally. Just the characters that sway me between the 2 brands.

The Flash being my #1 obviously leads me over to DC more often then not but my favorites are definitely inter mixed.

I really like Spider-Man, Gambit, Deadpool, Thor, Namor, The Avengers, Captain America, Dr. Doom, Magneto, Daredevil, Banshee, Black Bolt, Ms. Marvel, The Flash, Aquaman, Batman, Lanterns(any of the seven colors...though red and green are my top 2), The RedHood, Black Adam/Captain Marvel, Justice League, Justice Society(always been more of a fan of JSA then JLA), Ect.....

That's not a list in any kind of order. In fact not all of those even make my top ten. What Im saying is i enjoy both brands it just depends whose story im interested in at the moment.....and The Flash....Always The Flash.....
