For me personally, Marvel's characters just seem to resonate with me more than DC's characters. I don't think DC's characters suck, by any means, I just seem to enjoy the way Marvel incorporates their characters into stories that sometimes parallel our own real life current events.

As a whole, I enjoy Marvel's universe and crossover events more than I do DC's. However, I tend to really enjoy DC's animated stories much more than Marvel's. They just tell better stories and have way better action.

I have to admit that growing up, it was the X-men animated series of the 90's and Spiderman that got me into Marvel. It was the perfect introduction for someone who didn't have any comic book stores near him in his small community. Batman the Animated series was all I knew of DC until I finally saw the classic Superman movies and Louis and Clark series.

Now I've finally got into Green Lantern from Rebirth on to Blackest Night and can appreciate the Green Lantern mythos. I would have to say it's been from 2000 on that Marvel has really cemented itself as my preferred franchise mostly because I've been reading everything from Avengers Disassembled to Fear Itself since and no the characters and universe much more intimately than DC's.

It really all comes down to exposure if you ask me.
