DC vs Marvel

Last 5 events for both companies:

Marvel

Civil War

Secret Invasion

Dark Reign

Siege

Fear Itself

DC

Identity Crisis

Infinite Crisis

Sinestro Corps War

Final Crisis

Blackest Night

As far as recent events go, DC stomps. I'm still trying to get rid of the taste of Fear Itself. Marvel's only good events of late are the X-events, not including Schism.

Agreed. Annihilation and Civil War were good, but that was years ago. Since then, DC has been consistently good.

MARVEL WINZ!!!!!!!!!11

@czarny_samael666: If there was an actual battle between Lucifer and the PF, he'd win handily. He's survived creation-busting blasts, while the PF regularly jobs to natural phenomena.

@czarny_samael666: Read the whole thread again! I know 40 pages! But there were made special rules for the discussion...otherwise it will always be a stalemate ---> TOAA vs Presence

@czarny_samael666:   Didn't read Thanos Imperative. I didn't like Annihilation: Conquest or War of Kings. But Age of X, Messiah CompleX, and Second Coming were good.

@JediXMan: You should read X-Factor.

I say DC to the first two. Marvel for #3.

Everyone keeps telling me that.

@czarny_samael666:   X-Force is excellent. I don't really like UXM. Legacy is good.

I actually am enjoying The Mighty Thor :(

1. Marvel but DC got it close
2. DC in a Curbstomp.

DC only because Marvel has sucked lately.

I'm sorry, WHAT? Which of the last X-Events was good?

Second Coming, Age of Axe, Messiah Complex and I would count Messiah War too. Besides, Utopia (Osborn Avengers vs. Cyke's mutants on Utopia).  Besides, about 3: Marvel easily.  TOAA, HotU, Nemesis, LT, MJJ-616, whole Phoenix Force, Multi-Abstracts, Chaos King, Chaos War Hercules, Sise-Neg, The Hunger, Insane Genis-Vell, The Vishanti, Slorioth, Nebulos, MJJ-238, The Fury etc.

Which was Your last issue of UXM? Becuase if it was Fraction one, I am not suprised.  Gillen stomps Fraction in everything. Just look on Journey Into Mystery and Mighty Thor. First one is really good, while second one is tottally horrible.

I think it was.... I don't remember the number or arc name. It was the whole arc with the mutant flu or something like that. When that was over, I was like "I'm done. I can't stand anymore BS."

I liked Age of X, Messiah CompleX, Messiah War, and Second Coming (DON'T KILL ME! I admit, some of it was fanboyism. I really, really like Bastion and seeing him was just awesome)
 

@ReVamp:   Bastion.

Venom fans didn't like Spider-Man 3. Ha.

AoX was good, but I wouldn't count it as an event, so much as a crossover. Second Coming was horrible. Messiah War is debatable, I'll give you that, but I didn't like it. Only one I can think of in recent history is Messiah Complex, and that was kind of long ago.

I didn't like Utopia, in all honesty. I like the concept, just not that arc.  Schism just pisses me off.

Because he was crap. Bastion was the good part of SC. He was good.

1.It was last Fraction story.  ;) Fight with Kuurth was great IMO.2.In Utopia I liked Cyke's leadership and using mutants as they could be use in some strategic games :D It was even greater against Juggy. These all combinations adn plans... "Oh, so plan number XXX succeded? I knew that one of them have to work" - is what Cyke probably thought at the end ;)

Man, I wish there were more DC fanboys in here. The board's kinda dead, AIM/Facebook chat is dead, and this is the worst Halloween ever.

I might look at it, then.  You have to understand that I was actually months behind. So I kinda just picked certain issues to buy, since it would be too hard (and expensive) to get every backissue. So I saw it as a fresh start, just getting back issues for certain comics (X-Force and X-Men: Legacy being good examples). I dropped everything else. I decided it was a good time to get rid of comics I didn't enjoy anymore. I couldn't read Fear Itself; it just hurt too much. I actually enjoyed Flashpoint - although the tie-ins were better than the main series. World of Flashpoint and Knight of Vengeance were rather good.   This is what my current pull list looks like for Marvel:  X-Men Legacy Uncanny X-Force Generation Hope (sue me. I like it) X-23  New Mutants was on there, but I stopped reading because I ceased to care about anyone other than X-Man. I feel like I'm forgetting something...

Man, I wish there were more DC fanboys in here. The board's kinda dead, AIM/Facebook chat is dead, and this is the worst Halloween ever.

@czarny_samael666:   I saw SC as the climax, because I always viewed Messiah CompleX, Messiah War, and Second Coming as just one big event. As someone who also followed Cable and X-Force from beginning to end, it made Cable's death and Hope's reaction all the more tragic.   SC wasn't great. But I hardly think it was terrible. It could have been a lot worse; yeah, I'm looking at you Fear Itself....

@czarny_samael666: Yeah, I know Marvel's more popular by far and sold better than DC before the whole reboot stunt/gimmick but I'm fraggin' bored out of my skull here.

@czarny_samael666:    Generation Hope is my "relaxing" comic. Most of my collection is made up of dark and serious. Hope is typically calm, but with an edge of darkness (usually provided by Kenji). It's also why I might read Avengers Academy again. I stopped reading New Mutants around #26 or 27. Is X-Man a regular of NM? If so I'll keep it up.

Marvel, Marvel, DC.

If I may ask: where do you live?

Marvel doesn't need a crisis to sort out their their entire universe every few years while wiping away origins. Not saying Marvel isn't guilty of this but its on a smaller scale.

I like to say that DC has the more iconic characters but I think that's because they were able to reach a bigger audience through TV & movies in the past. Right now Marvel is kicking their ass in the movie department and kids will be growing up with marvel in their minds with the Avengers, Cap, Iron Man, Thor etc. Sure they will think Batman is cool but Green lantern was a dud, Superman was pretty boring (for now) and what's the JLA? Regardless of how well the new 52 does, majority of the people will remember the characters through other forms of media than comics.

And can't Scarlet Witch say "No more DC" and be done with it?

@czarny_samael666: On the level of the Sentinels, Gods and Cosmic Entities it will be a stalemate! So it was decided to keep the battle on earthbased/planetbased characters! You can name such beeings, but comparable beeings can be named for DC, so it's senseless...I asure you, read the thread! It's interesting! You're arguments have already been used...By the way you are forgetting the powerhouses of DC...You're totally underestimating them!  Edit: It was only Marvel Universe 616 vs current DC Universe (not up-to-date due to the point this thread is four years old)! :)

First contest: Which makes better stories

First: currently DC (though Venom, Scarlet Spider, and Uncanny X-force are good reads.

Second: Marvel IMO
