Marvel publishes more comics than any other publisher, yet they only produce books featuring their mainline cape universewhich are all some variation of action-comedy due to trying to cash in the moviesand Star Wars comics.
Image, by it's nature as a self-publisher, features a variety of different genres among it's lineup. DC has it's basic mainline cape universe, a cartoony Hanna Barbera and soon Loony Tunes line, a more strange and mature Young Animal imprint, a bloodier paramilitary imprint that's starting up in Wildstorm, and their varied genre self-publisher Vertigo imprint. And that's not even going into the various smaller imprints that push out all manner of things.
It completely baffles me that the biggest publisher in comics is almost completely uniform in the books that they put out.

Sorry I'm wrong, bro.

Marvel tried to get some tumblr girls to buy comics with Patsy Walker type stuff, but that didn't really work.
Marvel is doubling down on their legacies right now, which I'm sure will work out for them in the long run.
Marvel has just got really shit editors that have bad ideas and decisions, and have no idea how to adequately evaluate talent.

Western and Horror books don't sell

OP makes it out like the majority of DC's books aren't generic Rebirth shit
>Hanna Barbera
Every ongoing bar one cancelled/finished, some annuals tieing into the DCU
>Young Animal
Four ongoings and a mini
>Wildstorm
Only one ongoing so far
>Vertigo
Literally a handful of books that are either long-running series or minis that nobody talks about/get cancelled

I think this is the source of most of Mavel's problems. Just poor stewardship all around.

But that... that's the point OP is asking about. DC has a big core universe title for mass-market sales but also publishes smaller selling but genre diverse niche titles for variety and to make sure people of varied tastes have a book they can go to. While Marvel is just completely mass-market with core universe Marvel titles and core universe Star Wars titlesand I guess a Bendis cape book whenever he gets around to it.

Perlmutter must be removed if Marvel is to ever hope of recovery. The man is just a black hole.

It's easy to blame one person, but I would do a review of Marvel's entire editorial staff.
