Poll: Which one has better crossover?
(a) DC
(b) Marvel
(c) Stomp Kreshna's testicles

Well, both Marvel and DC has issued quite many big crossovers lately. Marvel has House of M, Avengers Disassembled, Secret War, and so on, which culminate in Civil War.

DC on the hand, has Identity Crisis, Countdown to Infinite Crisis, Villains United, Omac Project, etc, that reach their climax in Infinite Crisis.

So which one do you think is better? Marvel's, or DC's? Which one do you like more? And why?

As for myself, personally I prefer DC, particularly because titles like Identity Crisis and Villains United have gracefully shown the human side of the comicbook characters (especially how they showed the villains). Also, it seems to me that DC's crossovers has better cohesiveness in the story arc. See, it is Identity Crisis that started it all; the reason behind the events leading to Infinite Crisis is because the JLA mindfucked Dr. Light. For example, I don't think the villains will be too much motivated to join the Secret Society if not for the lobotomy.

Civil War, on the other hand.... Well, my biggest objection is the unmasking of Spider-Man. I just really can't believe that Spidey would risk the safety of Mary Jane and Aunt May --the two people he loves most-- just to support the Superhuman Registration Act. I mean, is Tony Stark really that persuasive?

But then again, that's my opinion. What's yours?

Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....

Probably because it's a doomed question, much like politic in a more techie forum.
There is a nice Comics forum at the Mutant Liberation Front http://www.sketchyorigins.com/comics/

IMO the crossovers suck since both DC and Marvel suck nowadays. They only put out the comics to keep their IP around so if they make a movie they can reference it.
Also if you compare reading an old comic from the 70's or 80's to reading nowadays comics you will find that the new ones are read through in five minutes, the old ones took you quite a bit longer....
Anyway I'm done discussing comics here 😀
