You're definitely overdoing it.

If you feel that bad about Civil War I'm surprised you're able to read anything Marvel has ever written.

I actually couldn't. The story held absolutely no interest to me. It wasn't even the writing or anything I was just bored by the concept srug

I didn't mind it...

What gets to me is Marvel making the pro reg look like Nazis, and all the b*tching about it afterwards.

I got all 7, and I was excited as the first 3 issues came out, but then it went downhill... and in hindsight, they shouldn't have let Millar do it at all. He misrepresented a lot of characters, imo. Millar has written like 3 good stories in his whole career, and suddenly he had a bunch of hype behind him because of Ultimates. And the guy is about as bad as Frank Miller about putting out stuff on time. Thumbs down.

They both have the same goal: MONEY!!! but for the last couple of years Marvel is hurting in sales and would do anything for a buck, selling crap etc..DC is at the top of the game. DC has better writers and artists,Marvel has shitty staff and that plays a key part in sales.

Charaters wise: DC has many more super people or Humans. Marvel has more low-mid tier and some high-cosmic high beings.

This is a list of the top 20 comics of june, 6 of them are DC and 14 of them are Marvel. Marvel also has now almost 20% more of the market than DC does, and you try to say Marvel's sales are hurting? Are you stupid?
