February 3, 2010 5:57 pm I think the rumor is probably referring to one chapter of Grant Morrison's Multiversity project, where he said that he's doing a hybrid charlatan/watchmen issue (basically naming them blue beetle and not night owl, but having Watchmen dimensions). I'd be cool with that.

January 14, 2010 1:48 pm 100 percent on the tie-ins. I'm liking the BN ones for thrill factor, but they were nothing like the great projects during Final Crisis. I'm really looking forward to War of the Supermen, but I'm only going to go for the core chapters.

Thanks for responding back Prax,

 

Truth is thinking about it more, if this leads to DC doing the same thing for the Jim Lee GL #50 variant, I'll give Joe Quasada a hug :) 

January 13, 2010 5:59 pm Even if this wasn't immensely disrespectful of Marvel to another comic publisher for suggesting a store should remove content they don't own, its even more insulting to the industry as a whole. The deal isn't even for the comics, so if retailers want to get rid of them, they can't. It's only for the covers. The idea of buying a comic book is that it is a keepsake and something worth maintaining and collecting, and for anyone to suggest to ruin a comic, the very product Marvel is trying to sell, really shows a lack of respect for the medium and is disrespectful to their fans who might not like DC, but definitely don't want to run into shops and ruin the books for people who like them. This might be a bit of a DC bias in me, but doing this, Marvel is really crossing a line that I don't think can be justified as either friendly competition or environmentalism. The line is simple, if comics are to survive in the sea of mediums that they compete with, telling retailers to rip out covers and destroy comics that still have the potential to be sold is a strategy that is going to destroy any hope the medium has of growing (I'd love to rip all of the deadpool covers they have off for the Jim Lee Green Lantern #50, if you can see the chain that might start). they deserve all the negative criticism that is coming there way. Thanks for hearing me out, love the site,
