But I like the approach of getting Superman out of Metropolis, so I'll definitely check those out sometime.

They killed Sud Dibney!!! Oh, Lord! Oh Lord! ...

Who's Sue Dibney.

Let's talk about Marvel's handling Capt. America's death.

Now THAT is worth my $3.00.

Marvel always was a bit more ready to pick up the anti-hero genre and as a result had a bigger following in the 80s and 90s. I haven't been following comics lately but I see a lot of DC Graphic Novels in Borders nowadays. I don't know if that means they're gaining ground.

I think the approaches are like music. When kids outlook is poor, the anti-hero is more popular and grunge music comes around. When things look good utopia and pop music boom.
