Hello everyone.
Long time listener second time question-er (?)
I have noticed, and I am sure others have too, the differences between Marvel's and DC's styles when it comes to quote-unquote cannon and continuity. While I am more of the good story trumps continuity, it seems that DC makes everything count always no matter what and Marvel has more of a it-was-popular-so-it-counts (Civil War, World War Hulk) and it-wasn't-popular-so-ignore-it mentality (Original Sin, Age of Ultron...). do you prefer one style to another? Personally I prefer Marvel.
Another related question I have is that given the Marvel crossover history since 2005 (when House of M came out) and now with Axis recently ending; if someone only read the crossovers, what would they think of the Marvel Universe or comics in general? I know several people who only read trades and that got me thinking since the event trades are always so flashy.
Here are the major crossovers by year: 2005 House of M, 2006 Civil War, 2007 World War Hulk, 2008 Secret Invasion, 2009 Fall of the Hulks(?) (Light year I guess), 2010 Seige, 2011 Fear Itself, 2012 Avengers vs. X-Men, 2013 Age of Ultron and Infinity both, 2014 Original Sin and AXIS. There are others but these are the main ones. Here is a link to the Wikipedia page if you are curious: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publication_history_of_Marvel_Comics_crossover_events
Thanks for taking the questions.
