Marvel and DC, the two biggest titans of the comic book landscape, have always been destined to face off on the fields of marketplace battle. So which is better? Neither; that's a dumb question. They both have strengths and weaknesses. They're both awesome. But how are they different? Because they kind of are. So what separates these two huge companies? Let's take a look!

Moving Forward

Let's look at the current slate of comics for both companies and where they're headed.

DC Rebirth has been fantastic, and has created a number of books I love reading, something that simply wasn't true of the New 52 before it. Marvel has a lot of lower-tier books that I’m absolutely loving, like Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, both Captain America books, Jessica Jones, and Occupy Avengers.

Also, Secret Empire is fantastic right now. Just SO good. However, both companies have their own issues that are inherent in their publishing schedules. DC's entirely meat-and-potatoes approach has resulted in some great comics, but they’re completely missing the more obscure, anarchic comics that used to be fun. The DC of today would never have published Hitman or Starman, two of the best things they've ever done. And Marvel's obscure books are fantastic, but none of the top-tier series (other than the Captain Americas) are all that exciting. They just feel a bit stale and in need of a shakeup.

It's funny, because each company needs what the other excels at. Odd, that.
