Infinite Crisis vs. House of M

Which crossover do you like better and why?

Infinite Crisis never really started yet but I already am enjoying the mini-series' over House of M.

I lost interest in House of M after the 2nd issue. Although I still collect it I dont read it. Too boring for me.

Well, since now that we actually know that the crisis will change D.C back to it's "lighter, more happy" type silver age days from the boring kiddy D.C past, I'd say it sucks marginally worse.

But, I vote both suck.

All I've heard says this isn't true. Just rumours.

Im impressed.

It's not. For god's sake. THINK. You're a businessman selling comics. EVERYONE hates and despises the idea of the DC Universe going back to their Pre-Crisis days. Would you, as a businessman, do something so incredibly stupid to down your profits like a plummeting stone.

It's not gonna happen.

Mark Waid said it.

I just repeat it.

He said that after the crisis, he will finally be able to write D.C away from the grim and gritty and back to the happier more bright days of the Silver age where "Heroes were heroes and villians were villians."

Mark Waid? I still don't believe it. I remember hearing something about this awhile ago.

And Waid can go f*** himself if he thinks this naive, childlike comic schem is gonna sell.

HA HA, dc will suck dick again, in marvels dust.

Blah...it's just extremely annoying how they are marketing the IC minis.

Come on, 8 issues, 4 different minis (Well 5 if you count the whole Donna Troy thing..) Oh wait a minute, we forgot that we need you to buy Superman, WW and other issues just to get the whole story of the minis. Oh wait a minute, we just announced that each miniseries NEEDS AN EXTRA "seperate" issue to tie it into IC.

Please, like DC didn't know all this crap from the beginning when they were planning out the year. Why can't they be honest and announce it all at once?

*cough*

House of M.

And I agree the whole "You need to buy EVERY comic we own to understand the story" from BOTH companies is friggin annoying.

DC would never make the company back to its silver age way. It wouldn't sell. DC knows that the way it is now is the way that works. Mark Waid obviously doesn't know what he's talking about.

I don't know about that, man.

Old school D.C readers hate new D.C, because they are too much like Marvel.

New D.C readers like D.C, because they are so much like Marvel.

So, the thing is, are there more Old School D.C lovers than new school? Probably, yes.

define kiddy. Like they put a story on why it's good to save trees ?(Captain planet type)

Kiddie=no grey area.

Basically the good guy always wins and learns a lessen at the end.

I think people seriously underestimate newer dc... which imo has kicked marvels ass for a long time... and is nothing like marvel... marvel has too much shit (and i mean literal shit) in its line-up to compare dc to it...

i dont think it will totally revert, but maybe change a bit...

What exactly is house of M

I could hardly understand the various Countdown mini-series for all the B an C list DC characters running around.... so my vote has to go to House of M, where at least I know all the characters.

It's not really fair to compare the two, though. Infinite Crisis is basically something that's been built up to with four different mini-series, involves the talents of multiple writers and artists, and a huge roster of characters.

House of M is pretty much a glorified mini-series from a single writer/artist team, with a more limited roster of characters. Advertisements and hype have boosted it up into something it really wasn't meant to be. (Bendis originally planned it as a New Avengers/Astonishing X-Men crossover, from what I've heard.)

It's apples and oranges.

From the sounds of things, exactly Jack and Sh*t have happened in HOM, so Crisis probably has more potentail at this point. At least with a massive story arc, a bunch of stuff gets shaken up...for better or for worse, it's fun to watch the change.
