There are aspects of both Marvel and DC that I like.
Marvel carries with it the dynamic Jack Kirby designs from the 60's and still has remnants of that weird Stan Lee dialogue. Marvel, to me, has alway been the home of the better comic book artists (especially before all those guys jumped ship to Image), but with pencillers switching sides frequently since the late 90's, I know that isn't true anymore.
DC has the longstanding legacy, though that was changed somewhat since the "Crisis on Infinite Earths." I was collecting comics in the mid-to-late 90's, and I wasn't particularly a fan of the stories going on there. Sandman was great stuff, but the rest of the Vertigo line-up never met the hype.
Favorites (no particular order): Jim Lee's run on the X-Men, The "X-Cutioner's Song" arc, Rob Liefeld's run on X-Force, Frank Miller's "Man without Fear" (Daredevil), the Reign of the Supermen arc, the Sandman series, The Dark Knight Returns, all the Teen Titans comics from the Wolfman/Perez era, and the whole frikkin' Impulse series.
