Whenever you give one of your references or analogies like this, I'm constantly searching google and youtube because I never know who these actors are or have never seen these shows/movies. Don't feel bad though, people seem to love to reference Big Bang Theory and I've never seen that either (hooray!).

I'm not sure why, but Marvel vs DC posts are the thing that drives me most nuts in all of these forums.

I know what you mean because we all know Marvel is better but then DC figures are always the power pieces. Why does Wizkids favor DC so much more! Ya know?

But seriously, I hate the whole Marvel vs. DC thing. One of my players always complains about DC figures being over powered and under priced. Last night in our Supremacy League, I played and won using Imperiex. So he went on and on about how cheesy Imperiex is, but you know who is not cheesy? Nightcrawler. Kid Zoom is way over powered, but Professor X is just perfect. Swamp Thing is broken, yet Bullseye is just about right. You get the idea.

I have to share something I found from nerdvanna.

I have to buy these.

Exactly.

More than anything, I hate the identifying with a "brand" and then denigrating the other "brand." I think the shared-universe concept of comics is over-played as it is, but it's easy to see why-- it locks in the readership to one of the major brands.

Even as a kid I bought both Marvel and DC, and always was striking out looking for good, different indy stuff (or stuff published by those two that weren't part of their shared universes). It's why I was into Epic, Vertigo, Piranha Press, etc, it's why I bought Watchmen, Seeker 3000, ROM Spaceknight and Micronauts (though those two were in-universe, they were fringe). And tehn also Cerebus, First comics stuff, Fantagraphics, etc. Give me good comics, and get out with the Coke vs Pepsi stuff.

I just posted in the Marvel v. DC thread. I hope I elevated the conversation.

LOL.

I just made my (hopefully reasonable) rant, too.

It was reasonable, to bad there are many unreasonable people in that thread. I too can not stand the DC/Marvel thing. When it comes to clix the more the merrier I say. I couldn't care less that Namor has a better dial than Aquaman, my solution is playing them together.

That's because you're a thief.

...you stole my heart.

Amen brother!

And in the overpowered, which-company-gets-more-love, I say, cheese is equal opportunity! My winning "cutthroat" team (we have a monthly cheese-welcome game) was Superman *and* Nightcrawler! (And Cypher and JJJ!)

Cheese knows no universe!

Rep to you. I couldn't agree more.

I'll like something because I feel it's entertaining to me. It has nothing to do with the source it comes from. I started with Marvel, but I branched out to DC years later. I found more Marvel books entertaining for a long time, but then the tides turned, and I was looking forward to my DC comics more than Marvel. Now I only get two books, and they're both Marvel. Yet I read neither title. I'm just... not into comics anymore.

Big question:

Marvel set first
DC set first
Release one of each at the same time

Dont worry, i shut it all down with my post on there. Win!

For random-number generators? Either way is fine.
