Amalgam question

[The Geek Vault]

Do you guys think that they should do another amalgam crossover? Also how did the last one end?

 

[Doc Destruction]

HELL YES.

The last one didn't really "end". They were all one shots.

No and badly...

 

[PhotoJones]

I agree with MD. No more Amalgam, please.

 

[Doc Destruction]

Oh please, they weren't bad. They were cool what ifs. I have a pic of Dark Claw behind me right now.

No, dude...they were pretty bad. Dark Claw, being one of the worst.

 

[moraldeficiency]

Dark Claw was horrible. Let's take wolverine and bats and combine them into one darker more brooding character. The fanboys will love this...

Don't get sucked into such an obvious trap, demand a good story for your money!

None of them were any deeper than a puddle, and the designs weren't interesting either. If the were to do another Crossover between companies I'd like to see the two universes take a what if approach and mix a few characters back and forth.

An example is what they did in the last JLA/Avengers when the universes were unstable and mixing and Cap and Supes kept knowing that something wasn't quite right. For instance, take a few DC characters and put them in the Marvel U and show what they might have caused to change, and vice versa with some Marvel characters.

For instance, if you had the Flashes in the Marvel U, maybe Jay would have fought with Cap in WWII and as a result when Barry became the new flash, and Cap thawed, they may have bonded as Jay helped his old friend ease back into the world. Maybe the two would have wound up the best of friends, and then as a result, Barry (still being around because he wouldn't have died in a crisis) is able to rescue Cap from the gunshot that killed him.

Maybe if Thor was a part of the DCU his power levels would have rivaled Superman's and as a result, the two of them evolve as DC's big two instead of the Bats/Supes/WW big three. Maybe if they were to come at odds, the forces of DC would lack a unified force, and it would be a more divisive universe.

I just think it would be neat to see how a few DC charecters might have effected years of Marvel continuity and vice versa.

What, you didn't see the immense depth of Lobo the Duck?

There's always an exception to the rule, dude.

 

[Kingfish]

i dont know, i kinda enjoyed magneto and the magnetic men or whatever. most of them sucked though.

 

[PhotoJones]

The only one that sounded halfway interesting was Dr. Strangefate. And that ending up SUCKING.

 

[Kingfish]

anyone know if either of the companies actually owns that access guy?

They both have ownership.

 

[Kingfish]

in other words he'll probly never appear again?

Yeah, thankfully he's gone.

 

[Kingfish]

whew. guy was the whiniest little s***.

 

[PhotoJones]

Huh? I didn't know we were talking about Darthphere...

 

[PaleRider]

yeah these were some of the worst comics ever. I don't remember the title but that one had the punisher and wonder woman team up, that was painful to read. and what the hell was Speed Demon??

 

[The Geek Vault]

What about Nightcreeper, was he any good?

Now how in God's name can anyone call these "bad." I mean, they're not in either companies continuity. They're not meant to be serious, and in a lot of ways, just poking fun at both companies' characters. They are what they are. And if you bought them expecting Watchmen and got Howard the Duck, well, pay attention next time. Sheesh.

(Look what you guys did. you got me and Doc Destruction agreeing on something.)

The intial concept is a fun one, but the result is just bad comics. Like, the reveal the Dr. Strangefate is Xavier. That's just...dumb.

Yeah, I did too. Amalgams I'd like to see:

Captain Beetle (since they're both pushing up daisies)

The New Young Titans

The Really Really New Mighty League
