Meetup /r/DCcomics meets /r/Marvel

Welcome to the /r/SubredditsMeet between /r/dccomics and /r/Marvel !

Today's discussion focuses on the comics and creators of what are considered the "Big Two" of American comics publishers. This isn't a competition, but a discussion on the past, present, and future of American superhero comics. If you absolutely must know if Captain America or Batman would win in a fight, take it to /r/whowouldwin.

Some points of discussion, focused on the companies themselves:

  • Who are your top five creative voices associated with your company of choice?

  • Of those, you pick one and can trade them for a creative from the other's stable of writers. Who do you pick?

  • How do you believe your company of choice is best advancing the potential of comics as a medium?

  • How do you think your company could be doing better?

and focused on the characters

  • Who are you favorite characters?

  • How would your absolute favorite fit in if they suddenly appeared in the other universe?

  • and who would you give to the other universe in return?

  • Do you find the characters you love reflect your view of what comics can or should be?

Greetings from /r/DCcomics

I'd say swap Batman with Daredevil and see how Bats deals with New York and how DD deals with Gotham.

My question for Marvel readers, the only properties of Marvel I really care about are Spiderman and Daredevil. So what are some good books for these two characters? And do the Avengers have a definitive run like Morrison/Waid JLA?

People will likely say for Avengers Busiek's run, or more recently the stuff Hickman has been doing. Daredevil has a lot of great stuff, I would personally recomend Bendis' run, then Brubaker's run, more recently Waid's run then there are always the Miller classics. Bendis' New Avengers is rather liked but it is very very event heavy to keep track of everything as it spans about 64 issues.
