lol. DC can't touch Marvel in comics. They might have gotten a few months with the Rebirth money gimmick but it's no way DC beats Marvel for the year. It's been over 15 years since DC has won the year and it won't happen now.

DC hasn't even actually won those months. The returnable DC line up make there numbers look over inflated.

It's honestly sad to see we can't have one thread discussing about DC and Marvel without the fanboys waltzing in here and turning it into a pissing contest

I'm happy comics are doing well in general, and I have to admit, as a DC fan, it makes me really happy that Rebirth is doing well.

In the current era Marvel comics always had the dominance of the comics medium, in the early of 2015 they launch the Star Wars comics with movie hype, in the fall of 2015 they relaunch all their titles, so i would not say they are doing that well because back in 2011 when DC reboot with the New 52 in the third leading Dc month (November)... The scenario was a lot more close without Star Wars comics a recent relaunch and characters hyped by the Mcu success...

Good for DC, I believe the momentum will not stop until the first major crossover with the Watchmen. It's a long term plan the relaunch of JSA, LoS, New Gods and Shazam is coming on their way. It's also a plus that DC is releasing mini series to know which one will sell well.

I'm glad DC is doing well, but man watching Marvel struggle is bad. N52 had its slumps, but there were still books worth supporting. Heres hoping Marvel can bounce back, I've dropped them but prior to that I was into Vision, Dr. Strange and All New Wolverine.

There is anything big for November and December from Dc? If not Marvel 1's from Marvel Now will put them back on Top, but by the current samples from Dc rebirth and All New All different Marvel drops in the first issues, DC can in fact be on top in some 2017 months...

@asgaard: Justice League vs Suicide Squad event will start in December the momentum will be stable. Besides DC is releasing far superior books right now.

Lol, from the the looks of comments like "Lmafo DC is destroying Marvel GG or Marvel is still doing better than DC for 'reasons' GG", you seem to be right.
