Well i used to love the old Keith Giffen run on Justice League International,i liked how they all riffed off each other,Blue Beetle and Booster Gold acting the comedians,Guy Gardener being an ass to everyone, Bats and Martian Manhunter acting all grim,it was a great series with great writing....but when the Jim Lee era X-men books(my first was giant-sized #275 X-men in space/magneto and Rogue in the Savage Land) hit the stands they absolutely blew me away with the detailed,technical take on the X-verse,iv only ever read the X-books none of the other Marvel Books appealed to me,im a Massive sci-Fi fan as well,and i love time travel/alternate timelines so obviously Cable was a massive draw for me,however the drop in the standard of art AND storytelling eventually pushed me away from as i just can never find anything that screams READ ME!! That said iv recently bought the X-men:Supernovas + Age of X collected editions and enjoyed them a lot (though i would have prefered a Jim Lee/Andy Kubert type artist on of Age of X,as i dont feel the art did the concept justice!!) For me personally DC just doesnt draw me in,iv never seen a DC book that has MADE me want to read it,whereas Marvels do pique my curiosity,and shallow as it may be,i do think good art matters,and that where historically i think Marvel have always beaten DC...
