I mean, half of DC's characters were semi-stolen through questionable business/legal actions & I don't think that's cool or publicized & at least as important as the creations of Superman & Batman (because the vast majority of the remaining big characters of DC's cast were acquired this way). I think if you want to get to where a division between comic readers really is that doesn't involve publishers & does involve reading styles, why not discuss people who wait to read complete story arcs (or trade paperbacks for that matter) over reading stuff as soon as it comes out.

It's not publishers that intrest me, its the characters in that perticular comic. Batman being my all time fave. And lets face it, batman is the only good thing DC has hehe. Not that I am bias in any direction at all, as in my personal opinion, batman out shines anything marvel has to offer. :P Did not read this persons article you speak of, but I just want to say this: anything a person recomends, whether it be books, movies etc is down to their own personal opinion, so if he didn’t mention a comic in his recomendations it probably means he doesn’t like them :P

As the kids say. Um, said. Cough. And let me here state categorically that I happen to loves me some Marvel; I can point to no better testament to said love than the fact that at one point I even attempted to get the NPR totebags-n'-Tevas demo on board with Marvel Frickin' Apes, of all things. Not proud of that. Just reading it into the record. Anyway, and despite the essential wobbliness of its premise: Challenge accepted. As Stan Lee would say: SAN SALVADOR! ....Er, wait. Oh, it is ON.

Um, said.
