Best superhero?

[Edward]

As an angst and hormone-ridden young man, the Marvel titles "spoke" to me more by having the heroes be vulnerable and flawed. Stan Lee Jack Kirby gave us anti-heroes and fed into the entire post-1960 culture that gave rise to things like Dirty Harry, etc. So I was always a Marvel guy. I read Superman and Batman, and had a special love for the Green Lantern, but it was Spiderman I had a subscription to. The nerd in me loved the F4, and I was a big Iron Man fan, as well as Cap.

There was always something "clean" or "cut and dried" about DC comics. I liked the grittier aspects of Marvel better.

Also, as somebody who hasn't followed the X-Men series (I saw the first couple, but no more), would I get anything out of Logan? Or would I be too behind the curve?

Logan is absolutely beautiful. It's as much a Western as a superhero picture, really. The ending - including the lack of Marvel's established end-credit sequences - is just perfect.

Highly, highly recommended.

I think both Marvel and DC had their clean-cut and gritty titles.

My 4 year old daughter would say wonder woman because "she's stronger than all the boys."

She's outgrown her wonder woman costume she wore 2 Halloween's ago, and has been pestering for a new one.

I assume with the success of the current movie, you should have no trouble finding one in the stores.
