I'm not so sure about that. If you count Wildstorm and Vertigo then DC has way better writing.
However, Marvel has some pretty decent stuff as long as you don't blindly follow their flagship stuff.
The Gravity (ongoing, you should definately pick up Gravity), New Warriors, Phoenix Endsong and GLA minis are excellent. Daredevil is usually pretty good. The MAX Punisher is awesome. Cable and Deadpool's jokes are actually funny unlike ICBINTJL. New Thunderbolts is a traditional yet awesome comic book super hero team read. Almost all of the Ultimate line has been pretty good. (Let's just say Allstar Batman and Robin was a letdown for me so far.) The Runaways are Marvel's premiere west coast comic. Then there is all that SUMPREME POWER stuff.
X-men and New Avengers is Marvel's money; but they do put out a lot of good stuff. There is a different tone to each company right now yeah. They both put out decent comics.
And the character problem in DC is real. Honestly if your not Superman, Batman, WW, Flash, or a GL nobody gives a rats ass about you and your goofy cape.
Personally, I think Marvel is underrated. Soley because a lot of people out there are like, "Marvel!?? psshhh...I'm so cool. I havn't picked up a Marvel title since the 80s."

The thing is, it seems like DC can't decide HOW they want to treat their holy trinity. It's liek they want them to be edgier and more conflicted, but don't realize that after the fourth of fifth time Superman goes on a rampage, people aren't going to give a sh*t whether he was attacked or not. All they know is the most powerful thing on Earth is routinely going batshit insane. And yet they keep up with the constant verbal handjobs. "Superman is so great, he's like a God but humble, oh where would we be without Superman, It'll all be okay because SUPERMAN is on his way!" It's just tiring.

Look at characters like spiderman and wolverine, you can write on them FOREVER.
They have that potential.
<<"Superman is so great, he's like a God but humble, oh where would we be without Superman, It'll all be okay because SUPERMAN is on his way!" It's just tiring.>>
but you have to remember when the superman character was developed. we're talking about a character THIRTY YEARS OLDER than any marvel character. until marvel came along, there was (essentially) only ONE way to do comic books - the dc way. when you look at dc characters, you HAVE to look back to the culture of the time. then, having realized when the character was developed (and over how many years!) you need to ask yourself - how do you significantly change a character realized in the 1930's (think about how long ago that was, and how much the world has changed - north america has grown up with superman! how can you wonder at his popularity when he has become a part of our cultural consciousness?) WITHOUT really changing him, changing the essence of what the character has always been?
no easy feat. i think that to understand the essential dc characters, you need to look at them in the context of their history. in that light, i don't know how you can help but appreciate them.

Are you seriousy suggesting that marvel's charachters are powerless??
Because in DC the dials go up to 11 thank you for this ✅ information Juntai 🙂
