Marvel Publishing Update

[Upset Spideyfan]

I'll take any show from the DCAU over Marvel's Animated movies any day.

The DCAU might possibly be one of the greatest comic adaptations ever, and its an adaptation of entire universe at that.

Hard to take this thread seriously since the thread starter is heavily biased and a huge Marvel zombie.

Its basically said that Marvel advertises itself more,and does more underhaded tricks to get people to buy their comics now.

I wouldn't say that they use underhanded tricks, but they are certainly better at advertising them.

You mean some of that PIMP Juice?

 

[Darthphere]

Crunk son.

 

[PhotoJones]

Crunk juice? Damn...I'm so old.

 

[Darthphere]

You know the sad thing is, I know crunk is a correct spelling but the spell check on Firefox doesn't recognize it. Firefox is old too.

 

[shapeshifter]

Yeah, I'll just sit here and sip on my Pimp Juice through my straw. It's what I know.

Sisters, with Brad Meltzer.

 

[PWN3R]

Did you argue with him over DKR being cannon or not?

I still haven't seen your sexyness.

I'll go with Darth's stance and just say I like good comics. I would buy DC if they became interesting again. I just prefer Marvel because their characters are interesting even with world-breaking powers, whereas the Ultimate Crisis of Infinite Universes shenanigans just detracts me from trying to get into what DC has to offer. It seems like they try to reinvent their characters and then, when they ultimately fail and make things worse, they click on the reboot button and further confuse me. I like to know the people I'm rooting for. That's pretty much it in a nutshell.

I'm not bashing DC or anything that's "not Marvel." I'm just saying how I honestly feel about things. Even though I hate what's been done with Spidey, I can't really deny that Marvel is doing great for all the right reasons. No underhanded tricks about it, or at least not as underhanded as any other gimmick in the industry.
