Well, everyone here knows that I'm a Marvel advocate. If you all don't mind, I'm going to give a few reasons as to why I made this decistion. I grew up in Chicago with my comics, and I read a few. I was a nerd, so I really didn't have a social life. As I read comics such as Spider-Man, Superman, Batman, and so forth, I started to gain a bias toward Marvel because the characters were written like real people. It was even more evident when the animated series' came out. All 6 of the Marvel series were deep, and just flat out beautiful. Batman was amazing as well, but that's because Batman is a rare gem of a deep character in a seemingly shallow comic label. Now, I'm 20 years old, and still am an avid reader. Heck, I even got my fiancee into comics. Anywho, I still find myself loving Marvel, because Marvel battles remain about the mind, and outsmarting your foes, whereas the DC response to a threat with their writers is "MORE POWERS, MORE POWERS!" So, for me, since I like the brainy and intelligent stories, I stick with Marvel. I'll go ahead and give some of my favorite arcs.
Batman: Hush
Batman: The Killing Joke (amazing)
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (love Frank Miller)
