I'm a big Green Lantern fan, so I'll give DC the edge. Although I love how deep the Marvel cosmic universe is.

We literally just had a HUGE tournament about this. Did you miss it?

I'm talking about the universes as a whole, and "better" as in more interesting, not who's more powerful than who.

I prefer Marvel more in general but I absolutely love Green Lantern.

huge DC fan but outside the GLs and Darkseid, DC doesnt really develop its "cosmic" setting too much.
Marvel is all about that stuff. so I would give the nod to them. Look at their big comic event right now. they always have giant space stories happening.
eta: Marvel loves Space. DC loves time/alternate universes

As someone who doesn't really read comics I prefer DC just based off the cartoons and movies i've seen. I know nothing about Marvel other then Thanos and GOTG, guess that goes back to DC dominating the animated film scene.
Marvel does seem to embrace the cosmic more though.

Marvel, easily.

Marvel has pretty much owned the term "cosmic" when it comes to comics.
DC's post-atomic space comics began with the more science based stuff from Gardner Fox and Julius Schwartz and grew from there.
Marvel had Kirby's non-scientific unlimited imagination, so they had the jumpstart on the idea of unlimited cosmic power. (Until Kirby did the similar thing with his Fourth World at DC.)

And "Cosmic" now pretty much translates to "Science-Space-Fantasy" when it comes to comics.

Double post.

This.
Green Lantern is better than anything in the Marvel cosmic universe, but Marvel is more interesting on average, especially if you start looking at Thor, stories like The Dark Phoenix Saga, Guardians, Surfer, etc.

Age of Ultron is a time/alternate universe story. Days of Future Past is also, but they are mainly cosmic.

This. Marvel really embraced the cosmic characters and stories from the beginning and its turned into a very dense catalogue of characters and stories.
What sucks is that Marvel made those terrible film deals back in bankruptcy so the cosmic film potential has been diminished.
Galactus, Skrulls, Shiar and Starjammers with Fox.
Kree, Titan Gods, and everyone else with Marvel.

Unfortunately, yeah. Marvel wanted the Chitauri to be Skrulls in Avengers but couldn't use them.
The Shiar and Starjammers are totally Xmen properties. I don't think anyone could argue them into the Marvel film domain.
Luckily Marvel does have the Inhumans. That was very FF centric for the first couple of decades.

Agree. Marvel rules the cosmic spaceways.
What's interesting is what is probably DCs best attempt (besides GL) at cosmic/universe wide book was probably the Legion of Superheroes. They came out in the late 50's and may have been comics first intergalactic superteam. Hell they first appeared 2 years before JLA. I use to like them, but unfortunately the writers (Giffen) played around with them too much.
