Marvel and DC books are like reading the stories people make with their action figures. Some stuff is awful, most of it is bland yet fun, every now and again you get something magical.

I would say most of it is awful but it's such a weird, prolonged experiment in collaborative storytelling that it borders on sublime human creative achievement. I'm exaggerating a little but I'm massively interested in a world where there's a canon explanation for Stan Lee forgetting the Hulk's name one time. There is absolutely nothing else like the DC and Marvel universes in all of fiction.
