ComicBloc wonders how DC can kick Marvel’s ass:

“IIRC, Superman and Batman had their day. Even though they still sell ok today. Marvel has Spider-Man and X-Men. Plus their Ultimate Line. That’s all they really need. That gets them over the hump in sales. Can DC really compete with that. Dan Dido or no? Many might not like Dido, but at least DC is competing with Marvel some months. If not, how can DC up there sells?”

“i am sick of these silly threads that trolls start, dc vs marvel blah blah blah, nearly all of my comics are DC that i buy. marvel to me is going backwards, while DC is going forward, countdown, amazons attacks, sinestro corps war, sean mckeevers titans, batman’s outsiders, all the wildstorm and vertigo titles too.”

“DC has always been behind marvel and this will probably continue till the end of time. sad bt true”

“I think it’s at least public stigma that DC will always be second place to Marvel, whether or not it’s actually true at the time it’s said. Given Civil War and its followup, that is the case for the moment at any rate.”

“All DC has to do is stay profitable. It would LIKE to grow in profitability. Does it really NEED to compete with Marvel?No. They just need to make money. IF the edge out Marvel one month, that’s great, but not a necessity to anyone but the fanboys. Or, to put it another way….hows about people stop being company fans andstart being comics fans again? I’m pretty sure neither Marvel nor DC sends out royalty checks to all their hard core fans who blindly follow the company line.”

“Yes … DC you’ve been at this long enough as a second rater … pack it in .. cancel those loser books like Batman and Superman and the JLA and the JSA [...] the handwriting is clearly on the wall”
