# The Guy / G'nort double act
must rank as one of the best of all time. Up there with Laurel and Hardy, Morcambe and Wise and Blue Beetle and Buster Gold...

God, we're sad, aren't we?

# DC really have come up with some shit over the years.
"Gangbuster". How gay is that?

# Does sound a bit gay.
Almost like "Gangbangbuster". Or "Gangbummer". Or "Bumbuster".

# you aren't a Marvel boy are you?
Oooh! The Sub-Mariner! The Mighty Thor!

DC have brought us the true greats: Hourman, The Red Bee, Phantom Lady, Stripsey, Sgt. Rock, The Haunted Tank, L-Ron... The list is endless.

# I love both,
but DC in the eighties was all wrong.

I've only just read the follow up to Dark Knight, and I think it's the best superhero book I've ever read. I didn't think he could widen the brief of Dark Knight to cover so many characters, but it's fucking brilliant.

The Marvel X-titles were my real vice in my heavy comic buying days.

# Giffen/DeMatteis Justice League
Alan Moore's Swamp Thing
Hellblazer

All 80s, all DC, all great.

There's a lot of shit, true, but then there are a lot of characters. I consistently enjoy DC stuff more than Marvel. Except on the big screen, obviously. (Cunting Warners - a "comedy" Green Lantern film with Jack Black? The arses.)
