Marvel comics vs DC comics

Who is the all around better company? Comic Books Cartoons Movies Graphic Novels Writers Artists Characters. The verse to end all verse

I've always thought Marvel had better characters, but DC has had better storylines (if you include the Vertigo Comics stuff)

I've always looked at it as Marvel has characters with a lot more depth, and DC is the company that hires critically acclaimed writers.

Marvel definately has the better characters.

Rob Liefeld comics!!!

Marvel has better characters. They are more diverse and are not all Superman, GL, Batman Clones. DC has better comics. They both mess up their toons to no end tho.

If we count with vertigo then DC is better.
In terms of super heroes DC has the best stories with batman, other then that marvel wins. But about the clones, marvel copy´s more dc characters then otherwise

Well, DC has a lot of the original superheroes. So obviously, Marvel is copying them. But they do a great job, while adding lots of good stuff from their own. I'd say all around, Marvel is the better company. Their characters are vastly superior.

I like Marvel better, there are more interesting characters, both heroes and villains.

IMO Marvel has always been better, DC has some good series but their mainline characters just bug me.

Yeah but If your going to talk about Old school DC why not old school Timley?

I've often found Marvel comics to be sort of soap-opera esque.
