I can...I am earning my geek cred the hard way. :) <br /><br />I can see reasons why people (esp their target demographic) liked it. I'm coming at it from a kind of weird perspective, and I'm actually a bit surprised no one has come along to argue that I'm using criteria the work was never intended to meet.

Marvel won out because DC was actively bad (and because Marvel did fit the mood of the mid 60's in other media). <br /><br />But while being better than the current competitors helps you win in the moment it doesn't make you terribly good compared to what comes later.
