I like both DC and Marvel, but I lean toward DC because the characters are more iconic and the stories (at least the good ones) keep me engaged. Has anyone tried to sit down and watch the X-Men animated series lately? Its full of pop culture references, and I think that says a lot about Marvel in general. They rely heavily on gimmicks, and that is a deal breaker for me now that I'm an adult. Things tend to blur together or leave out details with a lot of the Marvel comics I've read in the past, and that lack of consistency is always frustrating. DC is guilty of that too, but not to the extent that Marvel has been for me. I will say that I am pretty picky as to what comics I read these days, so I mostly stick to major story lines in regard to DC (Batman - Hush, Long Halloween, Battle for the Cowl) and GL (Agent Orange, Blackest Night) so I have not been exposed to the poor quality of the new 52 yet. Then again, this stuff is all fiction, so I take it with a grain of salt.
