I'm thinkin' of changing From Dc to marvel what do ya guys think?
That's stupid! Never change from good to bad! You read comics, so you should know this by now.

I have always been a Marvel guy but you can read both books. It isn't that bad to have variety. I do like what Marvel is doing and just can never get into DC.

" Naahh... Marvel rules... "
I was talking about this recently to friends of mine.
We established that I can accept a future girlfriend/wife to support an arch rival to my local supported since I was born team: Liverpool.
Their rival's are Manchester United, Everton and Chelsea.
I can accept them supporting one of those teams.
However if they support Marvel, I'm either gonna try and switch them over to DC or it'll be a break-up/divorce.
That's how passionate I am about DC.

marvel for me mostly i like more realism , thou i do enjoy green lantern and batman from dc.Spawn still finished above all dc stuff for me thou.
DC > Marvel. DC actually respects its second stringers. And it doesn't have a moron with claws appearing in every freaking book.
Wolverine meets Power Pack; that was a sign of the Apocalypse people.

That was very nicely put. And I agree with it.
" @Gylan Thomas: i disagree. DC has a more developed universe. DC pretty much always has good writing and Marvel is hit or miss. "That's opinion. DC are constantly retconning so I can't bring my self to agree they're more developed.
" @Gylan Thomas said:I said DC tend to be lighter in tone. Even that was just my opinion and all I was doin' was givin' some advice." @mcrmy13 said:First of all it should be noted that I love both Marvel and DC, but I prefer DC, but what you said is a stereotype I strongly disagree with. Let's look at say, Iron Man, he's in right now. Tony Stark is an alcoholic, narcissitic, mathematical genius, billionaire who creates an over-the-top super-suit of death and saves people after experiencing an epiphany. I don't know about you, but I don't relate to any of that. Now, let's look at a DC character, say Green Arrow, since they have comparable lifestyles. Green Arrow is a politically active, billionaire, commitophobe, martial artist, olympic level athlete, with a bad haircut, parenting issues and is currently undergoing a moral crisis. Obviously, Tony has gone through moral crises as well, but that's not the point I'm making. What I'm trying to say is that whilst the characters themselves appear to be lighter and less real, their driving influences are very much deeply rooted in humanity. Look at Clark Kent, a man who struggles with his own inadequacies, has to fit in by assuming a persona he rightfully shouldn't need, needs to take constant care not to harm something, isn't rich, can't have children with his wife, and his father-in-law hates him. To me, that's all far more relatable than Wolverine or Captain America stories. Now, obviously, I've stacked my argument, again, that's not my point. My point is rather than nothing in comics can be taken at face value, and I don't mean to insult your intelligence by saying this, as I'm sure you've read and said it all before, I'm just reaffirming to everyone that DC is not the "lighter" company.

Up untill the last few years the secret ID's of most of their charactr were rarely used.
Weather DC pretty much alway has good writing and Marvel is hit or miss is purely opinon.
Or maybe you dont know the difference between bad writing and good.
I read both, it's good to have variety
Or maybe you don't know what the word "opinion" means :DOr maybe you dont know the difference between bad writing and good.

" @Gylan Thomas: yea blackest night was real light hearted, theres nothing quite as heart warming as a super powered zombie in space "
Why not read both? Both are respectable companies, but for very different reasons.

It has nothing to do with opinion. Bad writing is bad writing. If the character isnt correctly written or if the story doesnt make sense or if its boring and nothing really happens, its bad writing

The only instance of really awful writing, in my mind, from both companies in recent memory (OMD excluded) is Bendis' take on Sentry, because there are just so many problems with his handling of the character. Why does he not use his telepathy to work out that Bullseye killed his wife? No explanation." @Gylan Thomas said:

" @Gylan Thomas: I didn't mean to offend when I wrote my post, it was more a shotgun approach, to what I believe, is the incorrect idea that Marvel is more real than DC. So, yeh, once again, I hope you didn't take my post as an attack or anything of that nature. =] "I'm not offended dude.

" @Gylan Thomas: listen. im not trying to argue. im also a fan of both but the facts are in the books. go pick up 10 random dc comic and 10 random marvel comics. 80% of the DC will have good writing and 50% of marvel will have good writing. Marvel is and always has been very hit or miss. You have to know whats good with marvel and pick up the good issues. Marvel doesnt pick up very many good writers. Image writes better than marvel. "78% of statistics are made up on the spot.
" @FadeToBlackBolt: Read X-men deadly genesis. LOL. And read any Black Widow comic. LOL and read ultimatum. Those are the three of the worst. "lol, good call. I haven't read Black Widow and I avoid all Loeb's Ultimate stuff like the plague. And yes, I read Deadly Genesis. I had successfully blocked that from my memory til now.
As long as writers do their research on character they are writing about, I don't mind what I read of DC. But I will bring it up if they don't do it.
