marvel or dc

this is from something i wrote for comic book resources

i am a marvel guy- thought i like some of dc characters - they on pedestals removed from where i am and what i can identify with - my favorite character is the hulk- though as a child i also grew up watching spider man-- i often find myself when talking to kids about these characters having to explain the difference between cartoons and comics - cartoons are part of the cannon -so they are not real in terms of the characters mythology-which is what these character have become the mythos of the 20th century westerner - so asking why you follow one rather than another is as simple as asking an ancient greek why they worship Athena instead of Freya -the answer is because it is a part of their culture- i like smallville- i know the super man myth but it doesn't seem to be as much a part of me as the life of Bruce Banner who i have been following for thirty years -the Hulk book sucks now but it's a thirty year relationship, my mom has sucked for years at a time but we have maintained the relationship despite our differences - is the Hulk real to me -go read the Velveteen Rabbit and it should answer this question
