What characters or set of characts come from each? Which company is more successful? Do they sell the same type of products? Do they both make big screen movies?

Both companies are great and, though Marvel sells a few more books than DC right now, the scale slides back and forth.  Both companies have a wide range of products ranging from a young child audience to Mature (with adult themes {not porno} and profanity).  Most modern comics have adjusted for a more adult audience, and most readers are over 20.  This doesn't mean that they're more graphic or profane necessairly, but more heady and sophisticated.\n\nDC:\n\nDC has more "godlike" characters.  Much of DC is closely liked to Greek Mythology.  The characters, traditionally, have been much more powerful, with much bigger battles, but weren't as easy to relate to because they were so far beyond just human.  DC is currently changing a LOT right now with an event called "Infinite Crisis" which is making their comics a lot more human and easier to relate to.  Now is a great time to jump on with their comics all jumping "one year later".\n\n\nMarvel:\n\nMore "human characters".  This is a relative term and, honestly, Marvel has been becoming more "godlike" recently as well.  Last summer they did a big event called "House of M" which helped with this.  By the end of it, there were only 198 mutants left on earth.  Thank God.  This summer, starting Wed, they're starting a nother big event, "Civil War".  Basically, the goverment has decided to outlaw superheroics unless you register with SHIELD and operate as an agent.  The heroes of the marvel U are split down the center about it, and both arguments will make sense.\n\nBoth companies are good and have some terriffic writers and artists.\n\nOngoing Books I reccomend:\n\nMarvel:\nRunaways (teenagers find out their parents are villians and go on the run)  A\n\nUltimates (wide screan action and political intrigue.  best comic on the market) A++\n\nUltimaet Spider-man (A teenage spiderman in the modern day deals with high school, relationships and bad guys) B+\n\nDC:\n\nBatman/Detective Comics (in the wake of "one year later", batman and robin are back in action) B+\n\nEx Machina (Mature.  A story that tracks the 4 year term of the only super hero on the world...who becomes the mayor of new york.)  A+\n\nY the Last Man  (Mature.  Within 5 minutes, all the men on earth die, but one.  He, his secret service escort, and a geneticist travel from the US in search of his girlfriend in australia)  A+\n\n\n\nGraphic Novels/Trade Paperbacks:\n(These are either single stories written to stand alone, or part of an ongoing series that has been combined into a collection.  Can be purchased at any major bookstore)\n\n\n\nIdentity Crisis (DC, by New York Times bestseller Brad Meltzer)\n\nA DC hero's wife is murdered in a brutal way, and suddenly no one's family is safe.  This is THE event that changed the DC Universe.  This thing was HUGE last year, and was written about in the New York times among other places.\n\n\nWatchmen (DC, though it doesn't have any familiar characters)\n\nThis has been halied as the best comic of all time, and I don't disagree.  It's 12 issues long.  It takes place in the 1980s, and superheroics have been outlawed unless you're gvmt sanctioned (much like Marvel is doing now).  Suddenly, the few remaining heroes who went public are being murdered and it's up to the mysterious Rorchach and Nite Owl to unravel a greater threat... \n\n\nMarvels (Marvel comics)\n\nThis painted masterpiece follows a reporter through the early years of the Marvel U, showing all the major heroes.  \n\nPainted by Alex Ross (who does incredible work for both Marvel and DC\n\n\nAlias (Marvel, Mature{profanity and some tame sex})\nDetective Jessica Jones investigates crimes in the Marvel universe.  Great crime stories, interlaced with a taste of the superheros (and villians) of the Marvel U.

They have both become Hollywood whores but it's their people who created them. Exploitation is a good description of what happened to them. I'm sure they transformed themselves because their people told them that's what makes big money. Hollywood is a monster that chews you up and spits you out (like most child actors and Britney Spears). \n\nThe worst business is Hollywood so anyone who thinks its a good thing doesn't know what really goes on there! All you see is the happy stuff but in reality it takes all your time and your private life away and makes you become a whore to the business.

Well i havent read or seen them...but if u think they are alike, ur statement could read:  \nThough the movie sensationalizes the novel, the movie follows the text in a scholarly maner.\nor if they are different, u could say:\nThe movie does not follow the novel and devolves from the author's intent.\netc, etc

Forrest gump was an original. People love original films that inspire society and people and all. There are a few that are like that too and since then there have been many more in the works.

Do you mean 'fantastic' as in the genre, and not movie quality? Then I guess\n\nVan Helsing ('fantastic' and rubbish at the same time)\nThe Brotherhood of the Wolves (ditto)\nHell Boy (cross between fantastic/comics, and it sucks)\nCorpse Bride (animated, but pretty good)\nLemony Snickets and a Series of Unfortunate Events (I'm struggling here)\n\nBut they're all more or less in the same vein (one you'd like to slit and end your life after watching most of these movies).

That is a great question!  I really like both shows, but I don't know if the Aqua Teens can carry a whole movie.  Remember, Adult Swim programs normally run in 15 minute segments, and if you think about it, some episodes get a little weak.  \n\nI really liked the one about the drunk alien fraternity guys.  That had the potential to develop into something longer.\n\nI think there could be a great Venture Brothers movie, but I don't know if it will ever happen.\n\nTo answer your question, I think the Simpsons will be better.\n\nBob

No, I have never heard of them.   I am looking for a good company to sell products from.  Give us more information.

Well I like the movies.  But I long for something original and creative.  All Hollywood does is  redo the same thing over and over from comic books to video games.  It's  all about the money and not creativity.

A better question would be- why is every movie a remake of something else?\n\nIt's all about money, sadly... that's the bottom line.

Hayden Christensen is definitely cuter... and wayyyy younger... but as far as acting and talent I've only seen them each in one movie, so who knows. Who cares, though? Hayden's cuter and younger! yay shallow people!

both are very good. Work out what you need the device for and what functions YOU need, whether it be a dvd, phone, tv etc. All of the products have various models within a range and they will be based on how many functions, memory, hardware, etc etc \nThen get the best value for money in terms of what it will do FOR YOU and if YOU need all the functions the item has. \n\ntake tv's for example, many people pay extra for a brand that will have picture in picture in other words 2 tv tuners in one tv. if you will not use the P.I.P, you are wasting the extra money on it when you simply don;t use or want it really. Where there could have been a model with a slightly bigger screen without the P.I.P for the same price.\nall in all samsung and LG are very similar when comparing apples with apples and you can;t really go wrong with any of those. \nhopefully this helps...

Well, I've seen them both, and while I think that Brokeback Mountain was a great film and that you should see it when you get the chance, I really liked V for Vendetta more. They're really completely different movies so it's hard to compare them. If I could only see one, I would see V, because it touches on many themes, has some good action, and really gives you something to think about (not that Brokeback doesn't, but the message in V is more broad). While Brokeback is good, V is incredible.

I would recomend it for new movies or popular movies. Other movies it's just a waste of time if theres not a big line. Besides that i think it's an excelent service. I highley recomend it!

Yo I have both for college and at home. I like blockbuster. netflix always has glitchs where i wont receive the movie but it has still been shipped and returned. Also the free store rentals that blockbuster offers is great. It comes in a handy when you wanna catch a good flick with some friends.

Well for the first movie, they had a lot of fan support to raise the money to make it. The movie didn't quite make the money it spent in the movies, so I'm don't think they will make another one. Hopefully they'll recover some more money with dvd and video sales, since it was an awesome picture. We can only hope they do decide to make a sequel.
