Verdict

The call

Transformers and DC both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 68% of Transformers's written reviews are positive against 32% of DC's. DC's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#20 vs #190). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
