it use to be DC - great artwork real stories, Marvel was all flash and bang.
Now it seems the roles have reversed DC is the overly muscular over the top characters and Marvel has gone real stories and great art.
I didn't vote in the pole because I'm puzzled by what goes on in the comic industry.
I pretty much have not ventured into saying who is the best ever since the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, became edgy and avant-garde.

Conspiracy...
DC messed up with the reboot. :facepalm:

I'm not sure. I like different characters from each company.
 
I like both, especially recently. But Marvel has The Hulk, Silver Surfer and Spiderman, so they win.
 
marvel, not just because of thor, since he was in both marvel and dc... (in dc he was a museum worker, and in an issue of superman from 1947, he traveled to asgard) but because dc is too over the top with reboots, making their characters constantly more and more stronger, traveling through time... :facepalm:

Was always a Marvel guy. Only a couple of the D.C. guys ever made any sense to me.
 
Marvel's characters are much more interesting that DC's I think it is because Marvel has characters that we can relate to more because they tend not to be as perfect as DC's.
 
I've never bought one DC comic in my life.Aside from Batman,and maybe one or two others,their character lineup isn't very appealing to me.

There's a reason why there are more comic movies involving Marvel characters than DC characters.

Marvel because the only DC comic characters that I've followed through the years have been Batman and Superman.
 
I'm going to have to go with Marvel on this one. I am an avid comic book collector and have over 17,000 books. I've been collecting ever since I was 8 years old and still own every single comic book I ever bought.

Both companies have their high and low points. DC seems to want to reboot their universe too often instead of just sticking to straight storylines and good character interactions. Marvel lately just seems to absolutely LOVE the idea of having a major crossover every single month.

To me, Marvel has better characters you can relate to.

Who has crappy days that feels like you just can't get a leg up? All of us! That would be Spider-Man.

The Thing from the Fantastic Four always feels like a monster in a world where everybody else seems perfect. His best friend, Mr. Fantastic, is one of the smartest people in the universe, the Invisible Woman is supermodel material, and the Human Torch is a hotshot who could give any Hollywood leading man a run for his money.

How many of us hate our jobs, but we have to continue doing it because we can't find anything else. We are ordered around and sometimes do things that we do agree with, but have no other choice but to do them? That would be the Silver Surfer.

Sometimes life is good for us. We might have money. We might have an education. We might be in charge of wherever we work. But we can also struggle with an addiction, no matter what it can be. We might overcome it, but it's always there, nagging at us, being there in our face. That would be Iron Man.

Ever feel like an outcast? Living in a world were no one understands you because you are different? One of the biggest things Marvel has for them is the X-Men.

There are so many other examples of how the Marvel characters are so relatable. DC has some really well written books out right now. While I am really enjoying reading the Green Lantern, that's just it. I just really enjoy reading it. Aquaman is one of the best books DC has out right now. Another well written character!

I think the thing that hurts DC a lot of the times is their Big 3. The indestrutable Superman. Batman, who is always 100 steps in front of the action and is a billionare. Wonder Woman, the perfect Amazon. They have always been afraid to push the evenlope with these three characters. Kill off Superman? That to me was a joke and I didn't worry about it because I knew he would get better. Break Batman's back? He'll be okay! And what pivotal things have ever been done with Wonder Woman?

Don't get me wrong, there are pros and cons with both companies, but to me, Marvel stands out above and beyond DC.

Both are great comic franchises but I have to go with Marvel.

I miss the old WWII comics that were a part of my childhood: Sgt. Fury, Sgt Rock, G.I. Combat, Weird War Tales, etc.

John Buscema one of the great comic book artists of all time.

the unknown soldier?... the only dc i like is from the golden age during ww2. the classic jsa is my favorite group of all time. aside from them, im marvel all the way
 
This has been pretty lopsided, lol.

I'm not really much of a comic book fan. But after watching "Spectacular Spider-man" a couple of years ago, I have to side with Marvel. I've never really felt anything towards the DC characters.
