(Page 20 revival!, but I like the topic)
I personally only read Marvel, not because I hate DC, it's just Marvel that got me into Super Hero comics in the first place. (reading Civil War)
Every attempt at getting me into Superheroes prior to me reading Marvel comics, involved the more pretentious DC stuff, like Kingdome Come. I just didn't like the style it was presented in, so I have a negative conditioning towards DC.
I read some of Darkest Night, it seems interesting enough though.
