When I wanted to start reading superhero comics, I ultimately

My allegiance changed. I started allied to DC and now I'm allied to neither of the Big Two.

The only thing I'm allied to now would be, uh, I dunno, the idea of creator ownership?

My favorite characters are the X-Men. I grew up with the Fox 90's cartoon

> Do you still primarily read the company your fave character came from when you were kid?

No because X comics have been garbage for years. I don't understand company loyalty.

That's funny, a few years before I decided I wanted to read capeds I tried the US mainstream comic market, went into a random LCS and picked up a few Xmen comics because I loved Evolution

At the time they were in the thick of some kinda event, whatever that one was where it was an imaginary world where Magneto had won or something? I found it so confusing and my childhood husbando was nowhere to be found so I didn't try again for a few years. I forgot about that.

I started with Marvel because the Spiderman and XMen cartoons. I didn't give a shit about DC, until I read Infinite Crisis. Then I read 52 and I loved it, even though I didn't recognize most of the characters. Then I started reading more DC and felt some kind of satisfaction that I couldn't find in any Marvel comic except maybe Spiderman. Now I'm mostly a DC reader and I don't give a crap about Marvel.

Sounds like House of M, that's the event " No more mutants" comes from

I didn't really grow up with either, although I had a lot more cultural exposure to DC than to Marvel

I started reading comics when I was over 20 and I started out reading DC and Marvel but eventually I gravitated more towards DC and now I don't read much Marvel at all

My family are natural detective fans, and I grew up watching Batman TAS and '66 reruns in between my aunts episodes of Law & Order and Columbo (which is on Netflix If you've never watched).

I also grew up with stacks of Marvel comics. Spiderman helping the Montreal expos, Xavier getting sniped by Cable while Scott's having fetish hallucinations.

But in the end, my favorite issues were 2 Superboy comics. One where he needs to be Metallo's escort on a plane, and another where Superman and Superboy meet from different earth's or timelines or some awesome bullshit.

I love Marvel's eccentric events and reactions and nonsense, but they're never any villains. DC is always procedural and internal, but it can be drier than it needs to be.

DC is my preference of the 2, but I find I but alot of BOOM! comics

Nah, I used to be a huge Marvel man but their quality has completely gone to shit so I've switched.

Oh, also, I've been reading Nuzlocke's Muh Phoenix. Better than most Marvel and DC right now.

I like whatever I find good regardless of brand. I watched TAS DC growing up AND Spider-Man/X-men and loved both. My marvel love is sort of limited to those two though, whereas I've dived in deeper in DC and found favourite obscure characters and c listers, and vertigo titles. So I guess I prefer DC, on a statistical level?

grew up on the 90s spidey and X-Men toons so the first comics i got where from those. got out of comics in early 2000. when I came back in 2006 I decided to give both marvel and dc a try. this lasted until 2011 when I got bored of cape books entirely and now everything I read is non cape stuff from a variety of publishers.

I was always big into Batman and Superman from watching the movies when I was a kid, so I was more gravitated toward their comics. I just wasn't particularly into X-Men, or mutants or Spider-Man, which were all the rage on the playground in the '90s. I ended up being the only DC defender in countless "X-Men is cooler than Superman/Batman because (insert irrelevant reason)" arguments, that I began to sour on Marvel. Years later, I was okay, and even enjoyed Captain America and X-Men and stuff. Then it all went to shit again with the advent of the MCU. Even fucking casuals who have never read a comic in their lives seem adamant that Marvel is the new, progressive, hotness, while DC represent an inherently archaic patriarchy of comic book oppression or whatever. I'm all for people enjoying whatever they want, but when they start kicking down other people's sandcastles just because they think theirs is better and there can, for some reason, only be one, well, that's retarded.

It's funny to realize that when I was a kid, "Marvel" basically just meant "X-Men and Spider-Man". Most kids knew who Cap/Hulk/Iron Man were, but couldn't give less of a shit about them.

Marvel and DC were both all over TV when I was growing up. So I've been going back and forth for the last 30 years. Neither company has managed to cement itself.

I grew up watching all the same shows I suspect most of you did, but always prefered the DC shows.

Now I look at my shelf and see it's full of DC books with only two Marvel books, both of them being She-Hulk, so I guess there's something to that.

I read more stuff from DC and Inage than I do Marvel, but I have no clear preference. So long as the stories are good, I don't care who publishes them.
