    DC Comics.

    Marvel does a lot of weird stuff like The Superior Spider-Man, The Superior Ironman, female Thor, Marvel Zombies, etc.

    Most people only like Marvel because of that one Marvel movie they saw. Outside of Marvel's movies, they don't really have a strong point.

    This has been done to death..

    I prefer DC though. Also:

    Asking which is better, in the DC part of the forums...

    Eh. I've seen Superman vs Wonder Woman threads (some about battles, others about who had the better run or art, etc) posted exclusively on the WW boards.. guess some WW fans had some vendetta against Clark.

    No, its more like asking, "Does two plus two equal four or fifty-seven." to a group of math professors.

    Ok, so I'm not the best at metaphors, but you get my drift. :D

    It's all relative. Somebody might think Marvel is better. Some people might think DC is better. Neither is the correct answer.

    Utopia is not a place, it is a people. We will not occupy it until we are fit.

    I think that DC's characters seem more iconic and classic but arguments could be made for either side. I think marvel has done a better job of modernizing their characters but dc has great characters as well. Both can be somewhat confusing. Also marvel has better cinematic presents currently but dc is working on changing that

    I like both, But if I had to go with one it'd be Marvel. But that's just my opinion. They are both different and unique in their own way.

    Wow I don't think anyone has ever asked this question before. This is probably the first forum post about it.

    Seriously, come on, can this get locked or something please? Nobody needs to see this AGAIN

    Which is better, reboot or renumbering?

    Seriously though, for some reason I'm reading more Image & Valiant books. And among these two, it's mostly Marvel. However, my past experience has shown that this is a very unstable habit.

    Outside of X-men, DC seems to be more interesting right now from someone who's only been reading comics for the past year
