Image was a pioneer, In new stuff, but never seemed to hit the 'big time"
darkhorse seems to do best with already created stuff, and expanding ( ah la star wars)
DC has created some of the greatest characters of all time, but has also made waaaay too many dumb ones.
marvel seems to have the best batting average. while not always great, it's at least almost always good.
so I,d to have to give the nod to marvel, at least bassed on what i've read.

I'll always prefer DC above Marvel. I can't get into the more "soap opera" Marvel titles... this guy is related to this guy... this one married this one's sister... these two are enemies but they were friends... etc.

A lot of people would have the opposite view and call that depth of storytelling, but again I can see that on daytime TV. "Oh, no! Rex is in a coma so he can't warn Bobby that his evil twin Vincent is out to kill him!"

Yeah. :)


Just give me "Superman and Green Arrow team up to destroy a giant robot" any day.

Yeah, ya gotta a point there. I shoulda said OLD marvel, back when plots were simple and sweet.
one of my favorite groups was new defenders. had a cute chick named cloud in it. then, they changed her, into a guy. then, he turned gay, so he could still date ice man. then he became twins, to overcome icemans homophobia. kinda ruined it for me, ya know ? was trying to hard.

The big two have a pretty bad record of treating gay characters with respect. Some character will 'come out', and then it'll later be retconned... like "Oh, they were under the influence of the evil Gaytron, who forced them to be gay. They're straight now, don't worry."

...Or they get killed.
