Years ago I would have said Marvel, no contest. Other than Batman (which is admittedly great) I didn't like anything the DC Universe had to offer.

Then I started reading comics, and I think for a while I actually shifted to DC. The New 52 is responsible for getting me into reading monthly ongoing comics, and if you included Vertigo under DC then it becomes even more their win. My favorite comic run of all time, Alan Moore' Swamp Thing, is DC.

But then Marvel did Marvel Now and really won me back. Thor: God of Thunder is everything I could ever want out of a comic, Avengers is neat, and Daredevil continues to be glorious. Its all going really awesome, and while I enjoy the New 52 still, the cracks are starting to show for some of the titles; creators are leaving after disputes in big numbers, the novelty is starting to fade, etc. There are still some great titles (Snyder's Batman is generally great and Swamp Thing survived a writer transition), but I'm more Marvel right now. My budget only allows for so many titles and its a 4 to 1 Marvel to DC ration right now.
