The comics I read in the 80s were Spiderman, Punisher and X-Men. I never got into Hulk, Iron Man, Cpt America or Thor much, though I like the recent movies and look forward to the Avenger movie.
So, for nostalgia's sake I go with X-Men.
I really only like Wolverine, Rogue and a couple of the lesser X men, so I went with the Avengers since I like almost all of them.
Hulk smash puny x-men.
If the X Men have Magneto and Emma Frost then the Avengers are fucked. If they also had Xavier it'd be so one sided it wouldn't be fun.
Avengers/Justice League are lame. Super heroes shouldn't cross over, especially in such ridiculous ways. Avengers is less lame than JL of course but still....
X-Men are cool.
Ergo X-Men.
Comic book snobs are just wine snobs that suffered severe blunt force trauma as children.
I say the Great Lake Avengers could take on and defeat the Runaways.

OK, tough guy...what about Sharks versus Jets? Greasers versus Socs? Kramer versus Kramer?
QuoteGreasers versus Socs?
Argh,
Outsiders flashbacks.
FUCK.

Is it a little early for a West Side Story reference, Dorothy?

Oh come on - that was funny. :cool:
I don't read comics or see those stupid comics movies but the Avengers just look incredibly cheesy. I mean they have a Norse God on their team?
Voted X-Men.

I believe the Jets won in the end, Socs, and Kramer won, though Kramer came close in the last round.

The Avengers have his children!
Voted "DC Fan" because Marvel, other than Waid's Daredevil*, sucks these days, and basically has since, arguably, Civil War, and definitely since One More Day.
*I assume. It's not sold digitally, so I'm waiting for the trade. Mark Waid does little wrong, though, and the art by those Hispanic fellows is beautiful.
I'd like to fist Jubilee.

Yes. Magneto is a destroying machine, and a world-beater in and of himself.

Batwoman, Animal Man, and Flash. Legion Lost is OK (Legion proper sucks).
You ain't wrong about the New 52 in aggregate though. A real fucking waste.

Power Girl was better than any of them.
So was Secret Six.
Although maybe not better than Batwoman, so long as it's the JH Williams III-drawn issues. I mean holy shit, that guy is amazing. Maybe you're not an art guy.
I dunno. I'm not a huge art guy, but I definitely have standards.
Sure. But Batwoman could be unlettered and I'd probably still buy it. You know JH Williams, right? Alan Moore's Promethea was his biggest deal, but he also did some other stuff (Ellis' Desolation Jones, for example).
Lots of double-page layouts which remind me of Byrne in the 80s, very ornate panel design that reminds me of no one, and a mastery of many art styles (I've seen him ape Year One/Born Again-era Mazzuchelli, for example, as well as paint), and a default style that reminds me of Jae Lee, except with backgrounds, which I really appreciate as Jae Lee is great (except for the backgrounds).

Not a fan of Captain America?
What about the genocidal Jew Magneto?
The X-Men have sucked since after the Gold Team/Blue Team days of the early '90s. And I hate their whiney ass "help me, I'm being opressed" shtick.
Voted Avengers.

Hispanic fellows?
Marcos Martin and Paolo Rivera.
Oh, shit, the first collection is already out.
P.S. I also forgot about Uncanny X-Force, which is said to be good (at least, good by turns).

None of them are Hispanic.
I rather suspect they are.

In America you say hispanic and people think of the native-americans (i.e. "western indians") from Central and South America that were conquered by the spaniards and forced to learn spanish.

No, nobody in America does that, you fucking bedouin.

Lettow, I assume. Maybe Timmay.

It does according the US census.

Given that Americans are a rather stupid people, I don't think their government can be trusted when it comes to defining anything.

We're 3 now. I voted manga, too. ;) It usually has far better stories. Either that, or they're so incredibly zany and over the top that they can actually make me laugh, something american comics never managed to do.
Anyway, the last I've read of the Avengers was... whenever Dr. Banner's mind could control the Hulk.
And as for the X-Men... my last memories of them were when the Phoenix (Jean Grey) becaome Dark Phoenix (I liked that).
Some years later I noticed that they had been joined by a hot chick called Rogue, but I was too old by then to pay attention to their stories.
(I did recently saw a videogame where the Wolverine was trading blows with Ryu and Chun Li was facing both Dr. Doom and Mageto)
Based on my memories, I would like the X-Men over the Avengers.
Voted X-Men as they've been so poorly written recently (with a few exceptions) they need a win. Actually I just want there to be a moratorium of fricking crossovers already. Team-ups are one thing, but sheesh, wouldn't it be novel to just have a bunch of solo stories, or short arcs that belonged just to the characters in the comic.

You don't want to know what I was originally going to post.
That chick with the insect wings that Boner posted a ways back looked pretty good.
