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.




Marvel has never had the diversity of books that DC has.

you're blathering on and on about the Ultimate line, and Max, and MC2, while not realizing that they're all the same thing under different names. Spandex superhero books. that's not diversity.

while DC has DCU, Vertigo, Wildstorm, CMX, and Johnny DC (kid's line of books). Actual different lines of books aimed at different groups of readers. DC has always been more diverse than Marvel has.

The only time that Marvel has ever done anything outside of mainstream Marvel superheroes that's done well was in the early days of Epic in the early eighties (plus the early Conan stuff).
