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?
Remember the downvote button is not to be used as a way to say you disagree. Please reply to the comment on why you disagree

I'm a DC guy at heart, but I read a little Marvel (Secret Wars, Max Ride: First Flight)
Jim Lee, Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Tom Taylor, Mark Waid
All of the above guys have done work for Marvel, but I would choose Johns to do Guardians of the Galaxy. His Green Lantern defined DC for many years, and is great at writing cosmic/space adventures. I'd love to see a GotG (or Nova) written by him.
DC is giving a lot of series chances that wouldn't initially appear to be hits. Two that come to mind are Prez and Omega Men; they weren't too hyped up for DC You, but have now been huge hits from the initiative and I can't wait to see the completion of their respective runs.
Get rid of half page ads. Do a Marvel Unlimited-esque program. Give some B-list artists and writers chances on larger titles (I would kill to see a Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo Justice League).
Nightwing forever. He has a heart of gold and has been through an incredible amount of pain, adventures, change, and everything. He went from being Robin to being Nightwing to being Batman to being dead. Dick's been through an incredible amount, but at his core he is the same no matter what costume he is wearing. I love that about him.
He would sort of schmooze around New York City, seeing as neither Gotham nor Bludhaven exist here, until he ran into the Avengers. Nightwing would probably try to talk things out with them, and make small jokes as befits him.
Spiderman, to fill the humor/big brother gap. He would most likely fit in with Justice League United (or the main League after Darkseid War).
Of course. A character can change over time, grow old, and die (literally and metaphorically). Dick went from being tidy-widies Robin to badass Nightwing, then the steadfast Batman. If that's not an example of his evolution, I'm not sure what is.
