Lemme ask this:
Who in here is actively reading DC/Marvel comics today?
Like actual issue to issue reading?
I do
I give props to Marvel's best books, but people need to give DC a chance.
(spinoff) What is up with the stigma of DC comics being "boring?"

o word? I'm thinking ol justice league bs. that's as far as I went with dc.
I use to want more legion of doom but it always seemed like dc made justice league the end all be all.
whatever the case I got into marvel and that satisfied my itch.
No justice league is just one facet and even then there are still ethnic people within the justice league. There's a black green lantern a black batman a black superman etc. green arrow is ultra liberal and sticks up for the minorities and the little guy all of the time. Wonder Woman is all about equality for all people especially women
I been missin out then
And as far as people giving props to DC comics I don't see a single complaint of Snyder's Batman. If there is then someone show me but it's always critically acclaimed and has the sells to back it up. I've heard superman has gotten better since Johns took over with Romita
It has. By leaps and bounds.
I haven't read a comic book in years.. I was into them in the 80s and I started with doc but I couldn't stand the "good over evil" shyt on every story I came across.. it had a corniness to it

I feel u on that and I did know about a few black characters.. the whole premise of dc just felt really "white world" to me as a kid..

I am and DC is corny storyline wise. They are getting better (Romita superman) but this reboot seems to have been a waste of time. They didn't really integrate any Wildstorm or Milestone characters into DC. And outside of WW (and batman and GL that weren't rebooted) the best books they've made should of been under the Vertigo Imprint. Before the Reboot I thought DC had the stronger universe but Marvel saw an opportunity in DC starting over and are just killing them.
Marvel went and got two of the best writers in Hickman and Remender doing a slow reboot of the Marvel U and it's heads and shoulders better than the nonsense DC has done. Frigging Deadpool is a better book than 95% of the stuff DC is doing and Deadpool is the Marvel equivalent of Ambush Bug. Think about how crazy that is?
LOT OF things have changed bruh lol
I tend to gravitate towards DC. Their writing and mythology just seems deeper to me.
Marvel might have the 'cool' factor, not sure, but DC makes me think.

aw man
they tried to reboot Static...shyt was
and I was pretty disappointed 
Stormwatch lasted for a bit but I couldn't get into it
But yeah, creatively Marvel is killing DC at the moment. Remember I, Vampire? Like you said, that book would've been PERFECT for Vertigo but it got cancelled.
At this point I'm hoping Future's End or whatever undoes the reboot because it's just been a failed experiment so far
I didn't see it that way as a kid. Hell as a kid I could say the same thing about marvel. They weren't promoting black panther or luke cage heavily in the 90s. It was all spider man and x men and just because they had storm didn't make them the beacon of racial enlightenment. Most of comics inhabit a white universe breh but slowly and surely we are getting to that point where it's more diverse. The irony is, DC comics was the first to really address race by making a black green lantern and by having an issue of green lantern/green arrow that addressed race. Marvel addressed it in more creative ways by making allusions in x men but nothing that heavy and overt
maybe the movies made them "grittier"?
I can't see dc being gangster at all sorry.. when I was in school the rich white kids use to collect all the dc books.. kept them in perfect condition, wouldn't let u read em much less trade
marvel books was used up as fukk
u could take one look and know they been read by a few people before u got hold to it.. made the story that more intriguing.Yeah when Johns is focused, he's great.
Justice League started out REALLY rocky to me in the beginning but once the shift went to villains and side characters, it's been a quality read.
maybe I gave the wrong impression bc marvel didn't have many black characters either.. I think it just goes back to my days as a kid.. we just wanted to say superman was a ho or batman was lazy with his magic utility belt.. marvel meant u were against the status quo, u was part of the underground movement... greasers vs socials if u will
marvel gang for life lol

No they've been different since the 90s man. I live and grew up in a predominantly black county so we all just read whatever we thought was cool as kids. We weren't about marvel or DC just about characters. There were kids who liked superman kids who liked batman kids who liked spider man and kids who liked x men
