In terms of crossovers, I hope they'll just publish several recurring team-up minis, focusing on the lower-tier characters. If I were in charge, here's the approximate order I'd publish them in.
Ant-Man and Atom. Hawkeye and Green Arrow. Namor and Aquaman. Silver Surfer and Martian Manhunter. Angel and Hawkman. And a couple of higher-level team-ups. Daredevil and Batman. Thor and Wonder Woman. Besides that, I'd trim JLA down to Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Flash. I'd trim JSA down to Spectre, Dr. Fate, Green Lantern and Flash. I'd also publish a title with the Charlton characters, Catwoman and Wildcat. Last edited by Trey Strain; 11-18-2020 at 09:32 PM. |

I'd hope if they bought them that they would keep the universes different (kind of like when Vertigo was under but separate from DC). I have zero interest in Flash and Quick Silver or Thanos and Darkseid being in the same universe.

Yeah, those kind of things can be kind of fun for a event crossover series, but on an ongoing basis? Ugh. One of the universes could probably absorb a limited number of characters from the other (especially lower tier ones), but a full-on merging on an ongoing basis sounds like a disaster.

Sigh if dc was sold no more versus shit have both marvel and dc on the same earth call it earth prime. Imagine share/stock holders for stark and wayne industries in a board room together working on stuff. Imagine seeing themascara and asgard co existing. Imagine a guy like moon knight in Gotham going after the worst of the worst. Heck Imagine deadpool competing to join the suicide squad. Have steve rodgers run for president against lex luthor. I also have this idea where Atlantis isnt the first civilization underwater. Read the agartha legend. Like how many alternative realities civil wars secret wars can you do before it gets stale

There's no point in Disney buying DC if they're going to keep DC and Marvel sealed off from each other the way they are now. That's just a change of ownership and nothing more. What's going to stimulate market interest is bringing the characters together.
The thing to do is to use this to sell some titles that you wouldn't be able to sell now. Like the team-up minis I mentioned. BTW, I'd also try to get a second GL title and a Flash team title in there. Also an LoS mini. |

It would certainly be a sad state if they had to merge. Part of the fun of the universes crossing over is the disbelief that the two companies could ever work together. It'd be funner to talk about the stories than actually see Disney shove em down our throats for the next fifteen years.

I don't think Marvel is going to let DC end and all that income sit on the table just because a few people on the internet don't want to see Marvel get them. This is business, and that's OK. Anybody who doesn't like it is welcome to keep his money and his memories, and not buy the new products.

OK, you could be right, but I feel like there might be less interest in that than you imagine (especially after the novelty wore off). Guess we won't know the truth until and unless it happens. (Though I do believe that somebody would move to preserve the DC characters if DC went under. I'm just skeptical of an outright merger of the two universes.)

I doubt that DC and Marvel can survive as separate comics companies. And even if they can, they'd almost surely be more profitable as one company.
This is business, pure and simple. When meetings are held to discuss it, nobody is going to say, "Hey guys, Space Cop and Mr. Ed don't want to see Darkseid and Thanos in the same universe. So maybe we shouldn't do this." Last edited by Trey Strain; 11-19-2020 at 04:19 PM. |

It makes a lot of sense. When people completely stop buying 2nd stringer comics (Batgirl, Namor, Aquaman type stuff, etc.)... one lineup with just like:
BATMAN SUPERMAN X-MEN JUSTICE LEAGUE AVENGERS SPIDER-MAN WOLVERINE GREEN LANTERN TEEN TITANS I mean, that would sell every month.

I couldn't care less about Darkseid and Thanos. I guess I'm just speculating that such a complete merger would get old quickly, not just for me (I would likely not even pay attention to most of it), but for a sizable percentage of the comic reading audience. Obviously I'm guessing, and could well be wrong (an admission you never seem willing to make), but given all I hear about "event fatigue" I question how much appetite people really have for such a wholesale merger on an ongoing basis, given how much it seems likely to feel like an "event" that never ends.

If I'm still reading comics when and if this sort of thing happens, I'll likely give it a shot. If I don't like it, I'll leave it behind (like I've done with Star Trek), and at that point, I won't begrudge it any success it does have. If I DO like it, then I'll keep on reading.

I'd lose interest (I imagine) because I've never been a Marvel guy and it would clearly be a matter of Marvel absorbing DC.

I think if it ever did happen Marvel would just use it in a way to prove to their fans that Marvel is better than DC. Hulk or Thor would finally beat Superman, Flash would no longer be the fastest man alive, Batman would lose to everybody, Punisher would kill Deathstroke, etc. OR... they'd SJW the holy fuck out of them even moreso than the companies are now. Superman and Bats would be gay, the only Flash would be black non-binary Wally West, Jessica Cruz would be bi and also bang aliens often, Thanagarians would become xenophobes and enemies of the X-Men, Martian Manhunter would adopt Hulkling, and Capt. Marvel and WW would lead an all girl female group with Wasp, Batgirl, She-Hulk, and Naomi. Miles Morales would also take leadership of the Teen Titans.
