New Iron Fist next year!

[Paladin]

Yes! I'm glad to hear this but, I wonder if Marvel would even be giving Danny Rand a chance if there wasn't a hint of a possible Fist movie.

[Kermit]

Of course not...people only see $$$$$, instead of quality...

[Paladin]

"Quality" is something I sure hope will be associated with the new series.

Is anyone here familiar with Marvel's character licensing policies? Is there a reason why they aren't producing ANY new characters of note? All we're getting is retreads and second, third, and fourth-tier characters in their OWN titles... surely this has something to do with Marvel's "ownership" of the characters they print? Is that policy the reason why no one wants to bring a new character to Marvel-- because if the character catches on, Marvel owns it and the creator is FUBAR?

 

Anyone... anyone... ?

thats a very good point. i do not understand this either and why i think a lot of the comics want be as valuable in the future because where are the new heros and villians

[Freiherr]

 

I have only thought of this for a few minutes…so I might change my mind, but anywho….

 

What was the latest Marvel hero or villain that was really popular? As in a character that sold comics on its own and often used to sell other books?

 

The latest heroes I can think of are Wolverine or Punisher…and how long ago did they spring up? The only villain I can think of is Venom and it is not like he was that popular.

 

I couldn’t count the new characters that have come along since then. My guess it has all been done. 99% of all new characters are just variations of past popular ones (just look at all the first Image releases).

 

And on a slightly different note…I am looking forward to the Deadpool movie that is supposed to be on for 2005 (last time I checked).

I'm looking forward to this. At Newsarama they had this artical about 6 new Marvel titles:

 

Linky

 

Captain America and the Falcon sounds good, Priest is a great writer. I'm also looking forward to Bandis & Meelev returning to Daredevil with #56. Newsarama's interview with Bendis was great:

Okay, so we've absolutely NO new characters coming in this next wave AND another Alpha Flight??

 

Is anyone else seeing the problem here?

 

Why is Marvel perpetuating this cycle of failure? Because fanboys will buy ANYTHING Marvel for the first few issues? Is that why we're seeing yet ANOTHER Alpha Flight?

It's all a big conspiracy to get you to buy DC! They've been the true mainstream innovators in the last twenty years.

[seank]

Speaking of Iron Fist, is there a trade paperback or HC reprinting of the 70s MP and IF series? It was one of my favorites and I'd love to get the stories without having to track down all the issues.

[OldSchoolTerry]

Alpha Flight and She Hulk again?......Arrgh!!!!!

It's working! The Big Two are equally guilty of this, but the fanboys are to blame. Damn enablers.
