And don't forget Y: The Last Man.... brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

I voted Marvel since I grew up with them over DC characters (Batman the exception) but I now pull probably just as many DC as Marvel.

I'm a Marvel, now and forever. While I'll read the occasional DC title (and I'm totally looking forward to Blackest Night!), I read a crap-ton of Marvel and if I could only read one company for the rest of my life, I wouldn't even have to think about it.

Marvel has the characters (Jim Rhodes, Rachel Grey, and Marc Spector, for example) and stories I want (X-Infernus, Dark Reign, Secret Invasion). The DCU has Shazam, Green Lantern, and...nothing else I want, really.

There isn't anyone I really butt heads with on this. I got one buddy over all that I tend to talk comics with in person, but he reads Marvel and DC pretty much equally.

I don't know what it is but I'm more drawn to DC than Marvel. But I do read Invincible Iron Man and Nova. But there's more DC on my bookshelf. Don't think one is better than an other though.

I'm more invested in the DC Universe. I prefer the characters, and the general goings on, but I don't think I give much special preference to the company itself. I read Marvel, but I read it more for the quality of a story, or because a writer/artist I love is involved, whereas I read DC just for the sake of keeping up (Not to say quality doesn't factor in. Obviously it wouldn't be my prefered publisher if it was all crap).

Heh, no need to guess how you voted.

I am a big Superman fan. But currently, I am captivated by Simon Dark.

(of course I have a HUGE list of Vertigo titles I love... but that is for another post... )

What is it about Civil War that turned you off? Just out of curiosity.

I'm a fan of the publisher that prints good books.

But if Vertigo counts same as DCU, then DC > everything.

When it comes to ongoing series, almost all of my favorites are Marvel. But when it comes to specific favorite stories, almost all of my favorites are DC. Kinda weird. but I definitely buy more Marvel books than DC books, so I voted marvel.

Even though I enjoy both companies, I tend to be drawn more to the DCU. I can't really explain why, but it most likely has to do with all of my first comics being Superman, Batman, etc.
