I love their costumes. Great interpretations of the characters.

That being said, I haven't bought a Marvel comic in years(not including Star Wars). Too convoluted, too many big events. It's like their comics exist solely to have something big happen. No thanks.

I'll always have a place in my heart for Marvel, but for now, make mine(exclusively except for Star Wars) DC.

And before anyone tries to start a flame war, I know DC has a lot of events too. But that's been their thing for awhile, and they actually mean something when they happen. And they usually involve characters that matter.

Marvel's line right now does nothing for me, personally. But that doesn't mean you guys have to agree with me.

I still love Marvel, don't get me wrong. But as of right now, the only thing Marvel that I'm invested in are their 3 TV shows and everything Star Wars.

I see what you mean, Gus, and I can follow that train of thought.

However, as a long time reader and a fan of continuity and long-term payoffs for readers, my opinion is the exact opposite of yours. I feel like the New 52 "reboot" messed up in many aspects by ignoring/retconning a lot of continuity to the point that some of it straight up makes no sense. To this day, I still harbor feelings of being screwed over by DC.

The only DC comics i read now are the self-contained ones, such as Azzarello's Wonder Woman before it ended, Geoff Johns' Aquaman, Snyder's Batman, and Lemire's Green Arrow.

This is why I like Marvel more these days, as their approach respects old readers while trying to bring in a new audience at the same time. Despite that, I agree with the stuff you wrote about events not really mattering. Most Marvel event comics since Civil War have been VERY gimmicky, and what I hate even more is this new habit of making the characters more like their movie counterparts. You're alienating a huge amount of long-time readers just to appeal to kids and casuals, who couldn't care less.

These days, I feel like comic-fans have more to be excited about on the big-screen and small-screen than in the pages of the actual comics, both visually and story-wise.

I see where you're coming from as well, and I'm glad we can have a civil conversation about it.

I absolutely agree Civil War was the last important event for Marvel. I remember it was a big fricking deal and it changed things for years. But because of the movies, it doesn't matter anymore. Stark is now likable and hilarious, despite being a HUGE dick and teetering on the edge of villain just a few years back.

I personally enjoy the New 52, but I do see where you're coming from. I HATE that Wally West, Donna Troy, etc got screwed over but I can forgive that because I still feel an originality with how they're doing their characters. I don't feel like DC is pandering to their movie fans or TV fans as much as Marvel, or really at all.

I've tried to get back into marvel when All-New X-Men and Superior SPider-Man both launched but they lost me when the convoluted Marvel way came back.

Secret Wars and their recent "relaunch" is a prime example of why Marvel has lost me.

Miles Morales being the new teen Spidey in 616? Love it! Peter Parker being a Tony Stark rip off? Hate it.

Wolverine taking a step down for awhile? I like the character but I love it. Having canonical Old Man Logan be in the 616 universe? Hate it, makes that story seem insignificant.

It just baffles me why Marvel's idea of a "relaunch" is having a ton of confusing legacy characters take over established books, confusing both the media and paper fanbases.

Also, I love the new line-up for The Avengers. It's diverse, original, and I'm interested in it.

I love Falcon as Cap but Steve being old? Why can't he just retire or grow as a character?

You describe it perfectly. Marvel only gives the illusion of change because of their convenient inevitable plan B's.

I feel like, at any moment, maybe when sales are dropping or in time for a new movie release, Rogers could be de-aged and Peter Parker could lose his company. They market stuff like this as seemingly "natural" developments for these characters, when they're actually going one step forward and seven steps back.

This stands in stark contrast to DC back in the day, when they had no problem with breaking Batman's back, murdering a robin, turning Hal Jordan into a cosmic villain, and killing off The Flash for 23 years.

Sure, all those characters eventually came back to life or back to their senses, but they haven't been the same since.

Can you say the same about Steve Rogers or the countless times Thor and Prof. X have died and come back? Cap's death affected The Winters Soldier more than it affected the guy who died.

I suppose it's just the way modern superhero comics work. It's part of the genre now, and possibly also part of its appeal.

Exactly!

I almost guarantee you Steve will be young and Parker will be a failure all over again when May comes around.

DC does this too, but not to the same extent.

There just isn't any danger with Marvel, that's the difference.
