DC vs. Marvel: Line-Wide Events of the 21st Century

>>84628163
You forgot Convergence for 2015
And including that, I'd consider two DC events to be shit, the rest either mediocre or okay.

I hate just about every marvel event listed.

>>84628209
>I'd consider two DC events to be shit
Which two? Final Crisis and Flashpoint?

>>84628163
I'm an old fart Marvel fan but honestly DC has had better events with the ones listed.

>>84628163
You forgot Age of Ultron. I'm pretty sure AXIS and Infinity were supposed to be contained in their own books before upper-management turned them into events.

I'm a Marvel guy, but DC does it better for the sole fact they don't shove it down your throat every year.

I find DC events to be more interesting. Not always good, mind you, just more interesting.

>>84628254
Convergence and Identity Crisis

>>84628264
Am I missing anything? I think Convergence can be argued. It was really unique in that it didn't tie into anything, but took up 2 full months of publications. I think there was a few from both publishers before 2004, but none of them had the impact that any of the ones listed had (on story and sales).

>>84628163
Marvel only had one good event

I find DC's more enjoyable generally

>>84628299
>You forgot Age of Ultron.
I don't think that counts. It didn't tie into any ongoing, just spawned a few one-shots.

>>84628392
6 tie-ins and a one-shot.

>>84628339
I didn't think you were, but it kind of goes to show from>>84628299 post that Marvel has really chosen quantity over quality. Not that DC's were amazing by most standards.

>>84628163

If you factor in Messiah CompleX and Second Coming (though I understand why you wouldn't) they have parity, but Marvel's events are just too damn bloated and D.C. wins.

Back to the reservation my little Indiean.

I noticed a similar trend in >>84627758. Right around 2010 things started going downhill at Marvel. Was it the purchase by Disney in '09?

>>84628432
Bullshit. Just because it says AU at the end of the number doesn't mean they're "tie-ins." They were one-shots.

>>84628577
>I typed
ftfy

>>84628705
oh, thanks anon.

>>84628577
Arguably things were already going downhill in 2008 with OMD and Secret Invasion.

>>84628506
Has this caught on with anybody else or are you still the only person pushing it?

>>84629002
I saw one other guy use it ONCE, but i'm mostly a lonr wolf.

i didnt think i came up with it tho

>>84628163
>line-wide
You could maybe start making arguments including the X-Men and cosmic events.
But as it stands, everything line-wide usually sucks at Marvel. DC does it a bit better.

>>84629185
I think X-Men have crossovers, not events.

>>84629259
>X-overs
C'mon.

>>84628490
One might argue that Future's End was an event.

>>84629414
That's a weekly

I only know Civil War is happening because Nova and Hellcat have tie-ins
besides that
Vision, Silk, Carnage, Venom, Gwenpool, Squadron Supreme and Mockingbird are just chilling, untarnished
people reading a Bendis event should expect what they're going to get by now

>>84629433
With a tie-in oneshot for every ongoing at the time. Something that, as far as I'm aware, only happens with events.

>>84629526
No more Inhumans?

>>84629543
I'm a Crystalfag and refuse to read anything involving Inhumans until they give her back her hair

oh yeah
forget to mention I'm reading Captain Marvel and I think that's getting a tie-in or two unfortunately
shame they're gonna drop Carol's first actual ok writer

>>84629626
I'm sorry you'll never read Inhumans for many, many years.

>>84628506
>event comics are shit
>"OH YEAH? WELL YOU LIKE INDIE BOOKS"
wew

>>84629664
I'm not sorry at all
why would you want to read that?
If they try to use her new design in the MCU it would be the absolute dumbest thing ever
Why did Marvel try to push Medusa over Crystal anyway? That's the most illogical marketing move ever.

>>84629732
>If they try to use her new design in the MCU
But it's dead in the water.

>>84629765
the Inhumans movie?
good
get a long haired beautiful and badass Crystal to be star of AoS and randomly appear in movies/shows because why not
it will inspire some new good fanart anyhow

>>84628163
You forgot Age of Ultron.

>>84629941
>the Inhumans movie?
It might not be, but they've pushed it back and Disney seems to be leveraging other properties.

I'm thinking they may've worked something out with Fox.

You niggers forgot World War Hulk, was that even that hated? That shit got me into comics.

Like I read a couple of random issues as a little kid of Batman, Superman and surprinsingly, Green Arrow.

Then I read Sandman, then I heard about Marvel Zombies and while looking info about it I got a link for a ''trailer'' for World War Hulk, I read every single issue of that shit!

I don't see me doing that ever again, it was a different time, I didn't knew how to talk to girls

>>84630108
Not a "line-wide" event.
The whole thing was contained in issues specifically imprinted for it.

>>84628163
You also forgot Brightest Day, like 20 books were doing Brightest day shit, that and Convergence.

The sad thing is that the Marvel list is bigger and there still events missing from the list...

>>84630131
I think a few books had tie-ins. I know Ant-Man did

>>84630131
>>84628392
AoU and WWH were set up more like the big Marvel events, like moreso than Annihilation and Spider-Island.

>>84628333
not convergence and final crisis

Identity crisis wasn't as bad.

>>84630131
Then how is Final Crisis a line-wide event? It only affected Batman.

All events are pretty much shit, but I hate that Marvel has so many.

I liked Annihilation and Conquest though.
