Definelty Marvel comics...I just think they are more interesting... more creative... To top it off I have always had a strange soft spot for Wolverine I just love the character... :) However there is one character that I love from DC Comics and that is Miss Harley Quinn.

I depends for me. Growing up, I was all Marvel. Funny thing with me is I got into Spider-Man during the infamous Clone Saga.
Ever since always tried to keep up with Spidey, Avengers, X-Men and the sort. Then met some new friends I would hit comic shops with and started reading the occasional Batman here and there. Then came the Infinite Crisis which I really liked.As of now, I'm more DC, 2 words: Blackest Night.
This Green Lantern related series event is amazing and encompasses most of the DC universe. The whole storyline is like a really good zombie movie, and also relates to the Green Lanterns and the other 6 Emotional Spectrum corps (aka the Rainbow Brite brigade).
Although I do have a soft spot for Batman, I grew up on Marvel Comics. The X-men, Avengers, Fantastic Four ... love 'em!
I love them both, though I definitely enjoy Marvel more. For many reasons, among them being the "Maximum Carnage" storyline, and of course the Civil War over the Mutant Registration Act. But my favorite comics companies weren't even listed.
I refer to the "Image" and "Top Cow" brands. I choose Image over either Marvel or DC because it was founded on the premise that artists should be able to keep the rights to their own creations, a luxury not enjoyed by those working at either of the Big 2. As someone heavily involved in the arts, I can appreciate how people would not want to give up their own creations to some corporation (and I'm REALLY glad they founded Image when they did, since Disney now owns Marvel, and it would SUCK to have Disney steal one's creations).
Between Image and Top Cow, they've managed to come up with some of the most awesome franchises (Spawn, Pitt, Witchblade, The Darkness, etc. ), brought to life by some of the finest artists in the business (These are former Marvel guys, remember. They know their stuff), such as Marc Silvestri, Michael Turner, and my favorite inker ever, D-Tron (the guy kinda looks like Shang-Tsung from Mortal Kombat, I swear), and they even took up the "What If" torch where Marvel left off, creating a whole plethora of interesting crossovers (for instance, did you know Witchblade and Wolverine are married, or that Pitt once took on Bill Clinton?) and have done much to continue on with the concept of alternative storylines once done so well by Marvel. Given the two choices you mentioned, though, I've definitely got to go with Marvel.
They have more compelling heroes and villains than DC does.Dr. Doom, I think, is probably one of the most perfect comic book villains ever created.
Batman is my favorite since my young age but somehow overall I like more Marvel heroes. Spiderman, Hulk, Ironman are so cool. But I think that main reason for this are movies.
Marvel generally have much better movies than DC Comics which came with only one mega hit, Batman. Latest Superman movie was really bad. Also I would say that Marvel characters are more developed and background stories are more interesting than quite pale stories behind DC Comics heros.
As a whole, I prefer Marvel Comics to DC Comics because they are more scientifically written and Stan Lee is really a genius. The scientific concepts he presented through his characters do not seem to be baseless. Among all Marvel Comics characters, I like Spider Man most, followed by The Hulk.
However, that does not mean that I dislike DC Comics. I like it very much. But the characters there seem to possess inexplicable supernatural powers.
Among DC Comics characters, I like Bat Man the most because he is the only superhero with no supernatural powers. Whatever he possesses or does, he does with his scientific inventions and hard labour. I really respect him.
That was me. Thanks.
I don't read comic books, but if I had to choose on the basis of my favorite characters, I would say Marvel. I think the characters are more developed and more real to the reader who is looking for something other than a cutout character. The X-Men are my favorite superheroes of all time, because while they have incredible powers, they also have incredible human weaknesses that are integrated into the story lines, such as Wolverine's love for Jean Grey and his caring way of looking after Jubilee.
I would have to choose DC Comics. Batman was always my favorite. Not that any of these things could happen but Batman was the most likely.
He had stuff built, not super powers, nothing of that nature. He was a regular person with irregular abilities. Plus he always had an awesome car and gadgets.
And then there was Alfred...
Fun question bro! I've always been a Marvel fan especially the X-Men and Spider Man series since I was a kid, although I've always enjoyed Batman (and by proxy, the Joker). It's hard to say why exactly, except for the fact that I always thought Superman was too goody-goody to be an effective storyline and that thought process sort of lead me to believe (incorrectly) that ALL DC comics are like that.To me, I liked the fact that a lot of Marvel characters have flaws, or a sordid and darker past (a la Wolverine and Nick Fury).
Still, I also like one of the other posts here about Image Comics - I love thier art style, the edgier content and the pension for showing a little more skin than the other comics. But to directly answer your question, I'm a Marvel guy thru and thru!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
