Marvel does like 6 events a year at least. Don't get me wrong I read some Marvel, but we went from X-men Vs the Avengers almost straight into Age of Ultron. Then add to that most Marvel Crossovers require you to read every tie in to get the full story, and DC isn't that bad. Most of their crossovers require you to read just 2 books, and for big events like Court of Owls, or Death of the Family you get the main story in the Batman title and the other ones you can read if you like.

Marvel Events so far:
-X-Termination
-That Captain Marvel/Avengers crossover
-Age of Ultron
-Infinity
-And you KNOW there's another X-men crossover coming since this is the anniversary.

While DC has has pretty much the same amount of crossovers I'll commend them for not making every issue a required reading(except for Johns' crossovers).

I forgot about Johns and his never ending events that require 4 books just to get the whole story. Rise of the 3rd army was disappointing.

Meh the only other books I got for the thir army crossover was GLC annual(Since it was the conclusion).Everything else has been Standard GL.The Throne of Atlantis crossover,however,made no sense if you were only reading one book.

I have only read the main GL story and I get what's happening just fine. Although I will say that the story has been kind of disappointing, it most certainly hasn't been bad.

DC really doesn't have crossovers so much as guest appearances. The only "events" they've had so far would maybe be Rotworld, Court of Owls, Death of the Family and Geoff Johns' latest "change the GL Universe forever" story. Those really only pertain to their own books and don't require you to buy shitloads of over stuff. Besides, at least DC tries some stuff with their events, Marvel is usually just "Everyone is now X" where X=a superhero.

well he is leaving green lantern so it would make sense for him to do the Shazam book. Really hoping they don't go with the flashpoint version where the 5 kids each have a portion. Rather have Billy be the focal point.

If anyone deserves GL it's Giffen or DeMatteis. Cosmic DC could use a huge revamp and those 2 could do it.

They worked together on the 80's/90's JLI/A which is a must read for anyone who wants to know more about DC along with Booster Golds own series a few years back. Their cosmic stuff is a little avant-garde(?) though. DeMatteis did The Spectre when Hal was a spirit of redemption in space and that series was crazy as hell while Giffen has done stuff like OMAC and Legion of Superheroes. Right now, Giffen is on Threshold and soon to be Larfleeze when that drops. I've no idea what DeMatteis is up to these days though.
