Poll Has Marvel's comicbooks jumped the shark? (27 votes)

Yes, time to go to DC. 59%
No, Spider-Gwen is still good. 26%
Undecided. 15%

With female Thor, new Captain America, new Spider-Man, female Wolverine, pregnant Spider-Woman, and a new Hulk coming, its time to ask the question on everyone's mind. Has Marvel Comics jumped shark?

Each company still has a few good books. But overall, both are down at the moment.

I agree with this but Marvel has been making some very dumb decisions at the moment

Both companies have jumped the shark at several stages in their existence. Its just the way the comic industry works due to its longevity, it has its ups and downs.

@godzilla44: I kind of see it as Marvel is making dumb descions, while a lot of DCs current books just aren't that good.

I've honestly only been reading classic Marvel(70 - 90), every time I try to read anything modern. I'm either underwhelm or just plain uninterested in it.

@eyedcyou: The good thing about DC is they value the "Pantheon" without changing too much, and giving other characters a chance. I have not hate for both companies though.

DC are fine right now with Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Justice League etc. A day ago I would've advised Marvel fans to stick with Marvel, and then I saw Pregnant Spiderwoman.

How long you guys been reading comics? Marvel's doing the same thing they've always done.

Where's the vertigo, image, valiant,IDW ?

I would pick them over Marvel(obviously),vertigo beats most DC and so on. But I do like that Dc is trying to not get tangled into continuity and try to create good stories instead.

I hardly read Superhero comics nowadays so whatever Marvel does, as long as it doesn't involves their horror characters, Dark Tower, Empire of the Dead or MAX books , doesn't really matters to me.
