Where does your loyalty lie. With DC or Marvel. I personally like marvel better because they have more and better characters. And I love there events. Ex: Secret invasion, civil war....
So which do you chose?

I like them both equally really.
To me, the Trinity in DC is better than the big three in Marvel, but the 2nd tier characters in marvel are much better.

Marvel, but I've hated their events each year except for both Annihilations, those were my favorites.

i enjoy both ofcourse, but feel marvel is my ultimate choice as my interest in their product ranges through multiple different titles while currently i am only really captured by a few dc products.

Also, I've found that DC does non-canon better than Marvel IMO. The "What If" line always just felt like, "well, hey, this'd be kinda cool right?" whereas the Elseworlds tended to take themselves about as seriously as a big event non-canon could be taken seriously, even if the line did produce some crap. I honestly can't pick out a non-canon story I felt was required reading from the Marvel universe, whereas DC has Kingdom Come, Red Son, the Batman/Dracula trilogy, etc.

I'm a huge fan of both but I find myself liking the dark mysterious Batman comics thanks to DC. So I'm going with DC. ;D

Sometimes a lot of the dialogue sounds cheesy.

No doubt, some of the non-canon stuff not tied to the "What If" line was/is pretty cool.
In my opinion, though, I honestly don't believe any of it is "required reading". As in, absolutely necessary for you to appreciate just how epic comics can be. I feel Kingdom Come qualifies as an absolute necessity, while Red Son and Batman/Dracula demonstrate how you can turn a character completely on its side and still produce something really captivating.
I'm going to have to track down Ruins, one of these days. The work it's spun off from, "Marvels", is something I actually do consider required reading.

Marvel all the way. Thats what I grew up watch and reading and loving. I love all the characters as they all bring something to the table I enjoy. I like DC but, it just comes off larger than life to me sometimes as marvel tends to have their characters more related.
I mean clearly everyone can relate to Galactus. Whos ever wanted to eat a world?

I enjoy DC more, but that doesn't mean I don't like Marvel. They have some very good characters.

It seriously depends on when you ask me. This morning, I read Ambush Bug Year None and Justice League (International), so today's a DC day. Just grabbed some Wieringo-era F4 comics, however, so tomorrow I might make mine Marvel.

The only thing I read when it comes to DC is Batman and maybe Superman. I think that goes the same for most other people as well. I am going to have to go with Marvel. I have always loved Marvel better and I still do. I don't know what it is, but there is just something about the Marvel heroes and comics that is so much better than DC.
