And then Decimation where like 3 bus loads of kids were killed on the front lawn in a rocket launcher attack. Civil War was started by a villain blowing up a school yard full of kids.
No you didn't. They're ones that you thought were darker. That's not the same thing. If you think Marvel is darker, that's fine. In ways it is, with books like Punisher MAX and the like. But generally much darker? No, not by a long shot. DC has some ridiculously dark stories that measure up to almost anything Marvel had put out, whether in flatly stated occurrences or the implications of such.
and I'm still lol'ing at you trying to use the Carol Danvers story against Identity Crisis. JFC.
Also, Countdown Arena is a thing.
Civil War is a massive, massive outlier, way beyond even the Bastion attack in New X-Men, which is pretty bad.
