DC: While I enjoyed some of the heroes they had i never really had a leading favorite.
Batman got on my nerves, so yeah your parents got killed, ok, so? You got the ones that did it. MOVE ON ALREADY.
Superman: I alcutally loved it when he died. Was sad when i knew they would bring him bacl.
Flash: Yeah i bet none of the women in his life are satisfited, get it?

But i did like reading the Legion of superheroes, untill the brought in superboy.

All in all, DC is ok, I wouldnt really go out of my way to get some of the books though.

so that means one thing, I am a marvel guy, yeah I am.

Marvel:

Wolverine will always be one of my top favorites. I mean here is a guy that does what he does so well. And no one else is as vicious as he is. Nuff Said.

Deadpool, smart ass that can back up the mouth. I love the way he can do the banter and still kick ass. Its about time he got more star status

Punisher, the book not those sad assed movies. He is the more serious Deadpool in my opnion. Togther they would level a a city and still not know who is best.

Spiderman, yeah i lik him in the books, once more not the movies. He is a kid learning to deal witht the wolrd around him and knowing he could take that wolrld apart when he wanted.

Thor? Meh, i can live with him or without him

Capt America, loved when he died, hated he came back.

X-men? They are the reason i got into comics at all. Well not the only reason but one of the major ones. I had all of their series from GS1 to well over #500, including crossovers and one off's and mini series. Loved having them, still dont know what made me sell them all.

Avengers: The original group sucked, it got better as time went on and even still kicked ass through the Dark Avengers storyline.

Best series company wide though has to be a tie between Crisis with Dc and Secret wars 1 with Marvel.

Lets not forget the independants.

Anyone ever read the Walking dead seiiries? YEah the show is good, but the books are better.

Not to be contrary towards Mr. Eli, but I've always been a DC more than Marvel fan, but some of it comes from usually not having enough funds to get all the comics I wanted when I was younger.

My all time favorite has always been Firestorm the Nuclear Man. If you don't know him, I'm not surprised, but he is a secondary character in DC that has had more staying power than many secondary types. I doubt there will be a film about him, but he is always somewhere in the DC universe. Back in the old days of the 80's, his series always had a good combination of action, story, and humor...and the humor is important to me. It's why I've never been the biggest X-Man fan, because it often was so heavy and bleak with little humor.

Teen Titans: Understand that I didn't key in to Titans until the New Teen Titans of the 80's, so I don't go way back to the happy sidekicks. i go back to Dick Grayson deciding not to be Robin anymore, Kid Flash's powers killing him, members having a demon at the center of her soul, etc. For a while, NTT and X-Men were trading the #1 and #2 spots for Best Comic of the Year several years in a row, and it was mostly that the characterization was so good. I've followed Titans over the years, but 80's and early 90's were their 'golden era'.

Excalibur: This is the one X-title I followed right from the beginning and for years after. I greatly enjoyed Captain Britain and Nightcrawler and Kitty were always two of my favorite Marvel mutants, so when Excalibur began it was like they made it for me. AND they kept the humor that Captain Britain always presented (same writers). The series did kind of crash eventually, but for a while it was very, very fun to read.

Rom, Spacenight: Don't worry if you don't remember him, but once upon a time (and I regret that I no longer have them), I owned the entire series, first issue to last! It was sci-fi/magic/super hero stuff that was a strange combo and fully part of Marvel back then; I don't think a series could be done quite the same way today!

Also rans:

During my biggest comic book days, I collected Justice League, The Flash, The Avengers, Spider-Man, and numerous others for short periods of time. Most of them changed writers or something and eventually lost my interest. Avengers especially. When I started they had a core group and some really interesting adventures. When I stopped reading was when the stories became a little simple and the roster seemed to change every other issue. One thing about my team books, I like to see an actual team, no whoever the writer felt he wanted to write for.

And, for non-super stuff, I am still a HUGE fan of Elfquest and Akira, which was the first manga style I ever read (thanks to Marvel reprinting the series in America).

And yes I remember Rom, i had them all as well.

I even had TMNT the series from start to finish of the original series including the conterfeit cover number 1.

What about graphic novels? Anyone ever read any of those?

I loved the Walking Dead series and have yet to really read the comics, but my friend is also a big hero/comic junkie so I'm sure I will one day. I'm going to begin Scott Pilgrim soon. I joined the party way to late on that one.

JACE CHAMPION RECORD W:3/L:0/D:0

My favourites were Batman vs Dracula and Red Son

For the record im huge Superman fan (yes, i know, cliche) but these days comic book fans seem to get off on how much they hate him or how much they love someone else over him, and its not because of the character, the writing, the stories... its because they dont want to be seen to like the invinsible man of steel, the poster boy for comic books everywhere. I have always seen Superman as the biggest challange, for well over half a century they have constantly had to come up with dangers and stories that would push his ablilties and make it believable (okay, osmetimes failing miserably) but the point is he's the toughest guy to write convincingly for and it makes for great stories.

Will always love Superman
