Is there any specific impediment to IDW and Marvel co-publishing ROM reprints? Or is it just that splitting the profits on the project wouldn't be worth it to either party?

Welp, I thought that Scooby Doo thing was pretty decent. Quite liked it.

Fred even got a Guy Gardner punch to the face. I'm very curious about Wacky Raceland in two weeks. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 13:40 on May 27, 2016 |

It almost certainly wouldn't be worth it to Marvel. The bulk of IDW's line sells in the 8k-14k range, with their best selling book at 16k. These would all either be canceled at Marvel or very close to it.

Transformers vs G.I. Joe vs Rom vs Micronauts vs M.A.S.K. vs Action Man from IDW in September. I'm sure this won't be a total clusterfuck.

Action Man seems a bit...unnecessary at that point. Is it that popular a thing? Am I just out of touch with the youth of today?!

Comics don't have theme songs*, so there's no point to an Action Man comic. *Except for Nextwave.

Not digging the new 'COOL AND SLEEK AND MODERN" Rom design, have to be honest. Dude works best when he's just a big dumb bleep bloop robot retro 70s barely functional action figure man.

I used to have bunch of Action Man annuals. Is it the post-1993 Action Man where he fights all these cartoon supervillains like Dr X and Professor Gangrene, or is it the pre-1993 version where he's basically British GI Joe?

Going from the preview that I skimmed from the back of the new Pink Power Ranger mini, it's more the former, with a kind of James Bond with laser guns thing.

Ah, good old Action Man. I actually quite enjoyed the concept of the CGI animated series, where he's an extreme sports star called Alex Mann whose stage name is "Action Man", who gains this ability to instantaneously analyse any situation and devise a solution.

Apparently the big crossover above isn't just a big crossover. It's an event that will end with all of those comics being set in the same universe going forward. So IDW will officially have a Hasbro shared universe of their own. http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/declassifying-idw-hasbros-world-merging-revolution

Yeah, that's pretty bad. Penelope Pitstop reads like the Pam Anderson version of Barb Wire. The cars having AIs that talk is cute, but the stuff with the humans is just exactly the worst kind of adolescent posturing.

Its so bad it killed off the original voice of Pitstop.

If I read but barely remember the original GI Joe comics from Marvel, am I still ok to just start from 155.5/156 with the relaunched Real American Hero? That sounds like a silly question, but is anything more than general understanding of the franchise necessary to understand what's going on after the relaunch?

You'll be good. It's what I did. I, too, barely remembered the Marvel one and picked this up from the get-go. It's good. Hama's on it. There's some hills and some valleys but you'll be fine.

Speaking of GI Joe, the fifth (of six) issue of Street Fighter X GI Joe came out and it went from fairly straightforward crossover told via fighting tournament to "What the gently caress am I even reading?" The tournament ends with Jinx tapping into the Dark Hadou to defeat M. Bison, which I guess sort of works, but the cliffhanger for the final issues is that Rufus is a giant, inexplicably powered by Bison's Psycho Power and Guile summoned a jetpack covered in missile launchers to stop him.

So, Ghostbusters comics. How terrible are they, on a scale of 1 to How Bad I Assume They Are?

It's the other stuff like Legion, Displaced Agression, or The Other Side that's bad. The two ongoings, Get Real, and International are very much worth reading. Basically if has Erik Burnham's name on it I'd read it.

They're pretty good, actually - the ongoing is at least, though it's worth mentioning that it treats the game as canon and later adds a few characters from one of the cartoons but it's all very well done, character voices are spot on and Winston actually gets to do stuff.

I remember reading a mini-series from 2004 or so that was really good, but I doubt that's canon with whatever's being published right now.

That was probably the 88MPH series Legion, and at the time it was good if only because it was literally the only new Ghostbusters content in years. It was set between the two movies. It's definitely not part of the storyline now and is considered to be pretty bad compared to the current stuff.

I was pleasantly surprised when Get Real came out, as I love that sort of thing, a la Turtles Forever, and I had no idea this one was even happening. I was even more surprised, though, when they cameoed the Filmation Ghostbusters. I had no clue they even had the rights to that!

That's why they were removed in the trade.
