I`m doing a lot of retro comic reading from the late 1970s at the moment and I enjoy Marvel a lot more for that period. Most readers on here seem to prefer DC though, but they are of course in general talking about more modern day stuff.

I grew up reading 70s and 80s comics and definitely preferred DC. I liked the fact that DC comics tended to be more self-contained. The fact that Marvel stories were generally serialized always made them seem confusing and soap opera-ish to me

i started reading Marvel only in the 80s cos of hype and sales - i did read some DC (mostly loans from a fanboy fren) but found them rather silly and the plots uninteresting
in the late 80s, they were some interesting developments on the DC side, primarily the Alan Moore-run of Swamp Thing and i slowly switched over these days, it's a ratio of DC 5 to Marvel 1 for the comics i read - it's just DC has more interesting characters - Flash, Green Lantern, the Doom Patrol, with a more diverse past Marvel has gotten to be really one-note, and the last few I enjoyed were Jeph Loeb-Tim Sale's takes on the origins/early years of the Hulk, Daredevil and Spiderman |
