Dont they interchange their writer. Like Mark Waid, Grant Morrisson & Mark Millar

I haven't nor do I expect to reader work from every writer from both DC an Marvel but DC has my favorite writer.

i think that overall, Marvel has better Authors. Like, across the board, their average would be a 7

While, DC has a range of authors, some like Scott Snyder or Geoff Johns would be very high such as a 9, but they also have some not good authors.

Overall Marvel wins, but DC has certein better authors

Right now I think Marvel has better writers. A few years back I would've told you DC had better writers, but that shifted recently for me.

Note: This is my opinion.

So long as Scott Synder is on DC's side, it's Scott Synd---err DC

This is pretty much my answer, except it would be Jeff Lemire for me instead of Scott Snyder.

For me...Dc has two main guys Snyder and Azzaerello. They are losing Morrison, and not much else afterwards. Marvel has a solid core, Hickman, Fraction, Slott, Bendis and a nice group of up and comers. Bunn, Hopeless, etc...I would say Marvel now (no pun intended) with Image a close second.

I am going to go with Marvel on this one. DC has many talented writers but there is just to much inconsistency with some writers being top of the class but I feel there is less in the middle ground and a lot at the bottom. Were Marvel has more middle ground writers mixed in with there top writers.

i want to say DC,but ever since i started reading marvel,bendis,aaron,fraction,waid,hickman all have impressed me quite often

on the other hand,at DC,morrison,snyder,azarello,lemire,tomasi,johns arent doing a less than stellar of a job.....

This. But for the moment DC has the edge IMO.

DC has Morrison, Milligan and Lemire and they're the only decent writers working for either company.
