quote:The Amalgam Universe is a brand-new, 12 part maxi series by super scribes Geoff Johns and Brian Michael Bendis with artwork by Olivier Copiel, Bryan Hitch, John Romita jr., Alex Maleev, Mike Deodato jr., and comics legend John Byrne, making his long awaited return to mainstream comics.

The real joke is that Deodato Jr. belongs anywhere near a list with the other artists.

Someone recently referenced that when Iron Man was originally announced as the first Marvel studio movie, there was a lot of doubt on this forum that it would never be successful. What properties were people thinking would be successful that Marvel actually controls? Sturm fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Mar 31, 2014 |

Nobody thought anything would ever be as successful as the X-Men or Spider-man film franchises so those were Marvel's two biggest comic franchises. Add in that the F4 and Hulk films were not as successful or well received.

I think it was just the fact that Iron Man, as a character, wasn't much of a sell at the time compared to, say, Spider-Man. It was thought of as something which comic book fans would go to see, but the general public wouldn't bother with.

Yeah, the perception was that Marvel had no good franchises left, having signed away all their A-listers -- sorta by definition, anyone they had left was someone that movie studios didn't think were worth making a movie out of. Iron Man was a B-lister at best.

Some of us thought Iron Man was going to be a hit because we'd been jerking off to RDJ since Less than Zero.

People also forget the Daredevil flop from that period too. Though it did bring forth the great mental image of our man in red with several gallons of gasoline carefully pouring out the DD symbol on the ground after subduing some crooks.

Daredevil can read ink as if it were braille. I don't think smelling the location of his too-90s inflammable signature is much harder.
