Marvel since I was a little kid. Thor, Spiderman and the X-Men for me. Never cared for Superman or Batman. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Marvel all the way.....Fantastic Four, X-men, Thor, Spiderman, Dr Strange....which I have a complete run of the first series and most of the original Strange Tales issues also where he shared the mag with either Nick Fury or another hero. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

I actually really despise superheroes comics with their balls-sculpturing tight panties . When it came down to comics as a youth & teen, I was totally isolated in English-speaking Canada, because I disliked those "things", and didn't really like the MAD magazine either . I'm a fan of European comics (like Blacksad, Asterix, etc...) and some graphic novels (when the authors are able to look elsewhere but up their arses)... I've got (a) little more sympathy for more modern US comics series like Scalped, 100 Bullets , Locked & Key, but I will not buy any of it... just borrow it from the library (usually it will be translated in French, though) but, out of pure curiosity, maybe you could tell us which editor publishes which superheroes, just to know if one is less hate-worthy than the other  |

^ DC is the archetypes: Supes, Batty, Wonder Woman, Flash, etc. Marvel are, or were, the modern guys like Spidey, X-Men, Avengers, FF, etc. And Hergé rules ! ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

| Marvel without a doubt. Spiderman, The Fantastic Four, Thor, the Silver Surfer, Captain Marvel, Adam Warlock, and Dr. Strange were some of my favorites. Green Lantern / Green Arrow were the only thing got any real interest from me on the DC side. |

And I only know of WW in what you listed  ... But of course, I stopped paying attention to these ball-sculpting tights-wearing pansies some four decades ago...  where would Batman, Superman & Spiderman fit in this scheme? As for European comics, it's all well more adult than the Smurfs and Tintin nowadays. Authors don't really do long series anymore (except for those who started in the 50/60/70's and now run anywhere between 30 and 60 albums), but it's more like shorter cycles (between 3 to 5 albums). François Bourgeon (Fr), Bernard Cosey (Sw), Claude Dérib (Sw), Frank LeGall (Fr), Jean Van Hamme (Bel), MikelAngelo Prado (Sp/bsq), Giardino (It), Léo (Brazil origin, but french adoption), Hermann (Bel), François Schuiten (Bel) are some of my faves. |

DC = Jungian archetypes, Marvel = Freuds subconcious, DC = Nietzche, Marvel = Marx? both inspired by pulp magazine, Robert Louis Stevenson, Dickens, Mary Shelly, Greek mythos, the Spirit, Phantom, Zorro, Mowgli, Tarzan, Flash Gordon. -------------

Marvel dealt with issues and personalities in adult way, for the most part. DC much less so.

OK, I had no idea you were of intimate-nicknames with those three (I'd prefer to be intimite with Wondy )============= BTW, just to specify I'm not Euro-centric, I have been reading North Am comics (not just talking of Bloom County, Hagar and Calvin or Garfield), but it's more in the graphic novel area, like Burns, Tomine, Clowes, Seth, Chester Brown, Rabagliatti, Jimmy Beaulieu, Boulet (ok those last three are Québécois), Robinson, Craig Thompson (Habibi is amazing) and especially David Petersen and his superb Mouse Gard I have no idea who edits these authors in North Am; but here on the Old Continent, it's neither DC or Marvel (we get those Superheroes publications on import in most specialzed shops) |

DC, especially because of Vertigo. The Sandman is my favorite comic ever. ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |

Batman is my favorite character, but overall I go with Marvel: X-men, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, etc. (especially because of X-men). ------------- I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place |

Neither and both. DC had some good charecters outside the popular. I always liked Legion Of Super Heroes and the newer Green Lantern series. THey also had really good short runs like Kamandi, House Of Mystery and a crazy one called Captain Carrot and his Zoo Crew! Marvel has been overall with more believable mainstream characters in the superhero realm, but my favorite of recent times is the Watchmen which DC acquired from Charlton comics (the Phantom was really good too). They movie is my fave of comic book lore and justworks on a larger level. Marvel movies generally work better than DC for me as well but they are all hit and miss mostly the latter
