Does DC still have it over Marvel in writing?
I think this is the wrong question to ask; both companies pull from the same pool of talent so frequently. Writers and artists will be exclusive at one of the big two for a couple of years, then they'll be exclusive at the other one, then back again, maybe a break to do some indie stuff for awhile, etc. etc. Like Tom King is writing the best book at Marvel right now (The Vision), but after that he's done over there and his run on Batman starts THIS month. Yes, there are some creators who tend to stick with one brand or the other (Brian Michael Bendis and Geoff Johns are probably the most significant examples), but they are the exception, not the rule.
A better question would be - who has the best editors/best editorial vision? And this is why I prefer Marvel books; they tend to take more chances and have a lot more variety in their approach to their stable of characters. From what I've seen of Rebirth so far there isn't much of that going on at DC right now. As I said earlier, though...we'll see. Rebirth has just started so this is kind of an awkward time to be asking the "Marvel vs. DC" question. It's not really fair to DC.
