I really don't see how either are doing that well with fundamentally sound storytelling.


Marvel is doing better storytelling because, unlike DC, they have a better grasp of diversifying their books. DC has everything linked. Every DC book was somehow co-opted by Infinite Crisis, then the books had to adjust for the year jump, now will have to tie in to Countdown. Making the DCU into a gordian knot.
Marvel's crossovers were a bit more passive, and you can tell the writer's had more of a choice in what they adapted. Also they have the Ultimate and MC2 and MAX lines which are separate from everything else. Which allows a reader to buy a Marvel book without being dragged into the crossover if they wish.

Also DC is being too much of a tease with their readers. Nothing is really resolved, they don't get that at some point you have to end a big event and let things settle for a bit.

Bow ties are coool.
