Oh, this is awkward. I'm definitely a Marvel fan, to the extent that I tend to avoid everything DC-related.
I mean, I just find Marvel's characters to be so much better than DC's, especially in terms of realism (ha! funny to hear that when we're talking about superheros and whatnot, huh?) and relatability. I like their personalities more, and I know that's completely a personal preference, but I also think that it's just really irritating how 'invincible' DC heros tend to be. I mean, really, every time I even think about Superman I automatically think that if that character had been written by a new author on here, everyone would scream Mary Sue... or whatever the male equivalent of that is.
I think DC tends to have better villains for sure, don't get me wrong, but I'm just old-fashioned and think that the heros are what should make the story, not the villains.
And then if we wanted to bring in movies into the mix, I have to admit Marvel doesn't really disappoint me, whereas DC usually does. But obviously the comics themselves are what we're talking about, I assume, so this can easily be ignored.
I'm super biased, I know, but that's my opinion. /shug. I've always been a huge Hawkeye nerd since I was a kid and I literally have all of the comics he's in so that's probably where my love of Marvel originally comes from, but as I've grown up I've actually branched out, and I still much prefer Marvel to DC.
