I've dipped my toes into all kinds of Marvel titles and come away bored to death. there's just something fun about the highs and lows that DC hits -- I enjoy the camped out, ridiculous Green Lantern storylines just as much as I like the beautifully cinematic ones that somehow will never become a good movie. The problem with DC right now is that I'm struggling to find the title that lifts itself above the fray, everything is just a pretty schlocky bit of plot-drive filler. Kinda stealing from Marvel's playbook in that way, I suppose...

Although actually I've come away liking the Justice League books more than ever. They dumbed down the backstories and personalities of the big characters just enough to make Justice League pop these days.
