Of the big 2, I was a big X-men fan and read a lot of X related titles; but I also enjoyed Brubakers Captain America run, Bendis’s New Avengers, Waid’s Daredevil run, Snyder Batman, Alias, Aaron’s Thor, and big events such as Civil War, Secret Invasion, Annihilation, Old Man Logan, Planet Hulk/WW Hulk, House of M, and Death of the Family. Obviously I was a Marvel guy but still read the occasional DC book. One reason I made the switch to non-hero books mostly due the strength and diversity of stories coming from big name writers doing creator-owned projects but the repeated rebooting is a factor as well.
