Re: ALRIGHT DC OR MARVEL
I prefer Marvel. It just seems like their universe is more consistent and all the superheroes just mesh really well together. DC comics has heroes that are completely opposite of each other. Just look at Batman and Superman. Most of Batman's enemies are mundane (no superpowers) while Superman is pretty much invincible (kryptonite aside) with limitless strength and all the best superpowers. I've heard that he even had mind control in the comics, at least at one point. Not to mention time travel (by going around the Earth at incredible speeds).
That said, I have watched the entire Smallville series and I thought it was pretty good (I'd give it a 7/10).
The first comic book series I read was Justice League of Europe (DC). Namely, I recall Captain Atom and Power Girl. The rest is a total blank. xP
Aside from that I've never really had much interest in the DC comics themselves.
My favorite Marvel series was Excalibur, but that was in the early days. I never really read much of it after the original artist and writer left, but after checking the info on wikipedia I see the series was taken for quite a bad ride. I'm glad I didn't bother with the later books of the series.
I also read quite a bit of the Transformers series. I guess I got started shortly before it ended though.
Another series I liked is the original Death's Head (Death's Head 2 is super sucky by comparison).
Hopefully I have a full set of all of these (excluding Excalibur, and for it I'm hoping up to issue 37 or so). Someday I'd like to go through my books and get rid of the stuff I don't care for while finishing up the series(es?) I do like.
I've rather enjoyed all the Iron Man, Captain America, Avengers, etc.. movies that have been coming out. I kinda wish the X-Men universe could go out of Fox's control so that Marvel Movies Studio could do something with the franchise, but I doubt that'll ever happen. xP
I've got a bunch of the early Image comics. I seriously need to get rid of that stuff. Investing in comics.. what a joke that was. xD
