You don't know what you're talking about. The JLA is pretty dark these days.
Also, DC is telling far better stories than Marvel of late. Marvel is riding the past popularity of their characters and DC is spinning good stories.
If you're serious, I'll present you with a reading list.
Picked up the JLA "Tornado's Path" and just wasn't that into it.
Got done with Batman Legends of the Dark Knight, "Darker than Death." Maybe my friend hyped it up too much but I didn't like it that much.
On Marvel side I've been following Civil War all year. It's starting to lag....
On the regular side Punisher "Barracuda" and the new Ghost Rider.
Present a list I can pick up. The guys at the shop are too damn in love with X-Men for their own good.
