10.11.2007 at 12 PM. What are they up to now?

[J. J. Jameson]

Supposedly some big announcement from Marvel is supposed to hit on Thursday at noon. Ideas?

The rape of Spider-Man is being released on the net in video form?

 

[KangConquers]

Spider-Man's new love interest: Sarah Stacy.

 

[Red]

Captain America is dead.

In all seriousness, my guess is that this will involve a creator rather than a character. They've probably landed someone huge and want to be the ones to break the news themselves. Alan Moore? Stephen King?

Alan Moore + Marvel would be amazing.

I'd pee pee myself.

He'd do his Superman stories with Sentry. Pretty much exactly what he did with Supreme.

They could always have snagged one of DC's big hitters like Johns or Morrison.

Johns certainly wouldn't warrant a major press release like that and I'd be very surprised if Morrison would as well.

 

[Anubis]

I don't see any possible way they could get Moore to work for them again. That guy holds grudges like nobodies business.

 

[PhotoJones]

I don't see how they could, either. I was just using him as an example.

 

[Red]

Well I didn't necessarily mean Johns or Morrison. But you're right DC doesn't really have any writer/artist who'd warrant this kinda of PR. DC's A-list is Marvel's B-List.

 

[Anubis]

Actually, that's a buncha bulls**t.

 

[KangConquers]

This thread title reminds me of those Fruit Roll up commercials.

"Fruit Rollups that are Blue Yellow, Red and Green that glow in the dark? What will they think up next!?"

That's a bad opinion.

 

[KangConquers]

Actually, that's a buncha bulls**t.

I don't know if it is, isn't...but the concept of A-list/ B-list is so overused and misunderstood on this board.

 

[Midnyte_Sun]

They probably bagged another best-selling author to make a comic book.

What book though?

Maybe they're bringing back Young Avengers with a new writer?

 

[Anubis]

John Grisham with a Daredevil mini drawn by Cassiday. We'll get an issue and a half and never hear about the book again.

lol...until the "thrilling" conclusion is thrown at us 3 years later, and we find out DD is a rape victim...

 

[iloveclones]

Here's one that's been thrown about before and one of my own:

Stephen King's the Stand
J.K Rowling's Harry Potter

i think a lot of HP fans would flock to buy any new material that comes out.

 

[iloveclones]

I actually would like to see a Tom Clancy spin on SHIELD since were talking authors. But only if Nick Fury is involved.

 

[bored]

They're going to announce a miniseries about Aunt May's death, in which she goes to Heaven and forsakes Uncle Ben for Captain America.

 

[Silicon Surfer]

Maybe they are going to announce that Quesada is "moving on".

 

[Roughneck]

No...they can't act too happy about that
