The New DCU 52

Oops, forgot about the Booster Gold thing; it has been mentioned elsewhere here before.

As i stated before, colour me unimpressed. Booster Gold is barely a step up from Blue Devil.

I loved the Midnight Sons line....But then I 've always been a fan of Marvel's horror/monster hero stuff, like Werewolf By Night, Ghost Rider and Living Mummy)

Living Mummy...as opposed to Dead Mummy? Seems like both titles would work, come to think of it...

So, if you had to publish 52 Marvel #1's what would they be?

Well...A dead mummy really can't do a lot, besides lay there. A living or undead mummy are a bit more lively...LOL!

Sorry Phil, my sense of humour went on overload.

I'm a hugh Ghost Rider fan. My GR books out number my AF books.

[QUOTE=Flightpath07;82711]But DC's villains are much more prominent, well-known/loved, than Marvel's. How can Marvel villains ever rival the popularity of Joker, Penguin, Catwoman, Bizarro Superman, Poison Ivy, and Lex Luthor?

Man who laugh (Joker), Man who flip coin (Two Face), Man who tell riddles (Riddler), and Woman with plants (Poison Ivy). Just gose to show you what a really good writter could do. But the best and biggest Joker crime of all time was when he stold a kid's (Dick Graysons) homework and made him cry. True story. I could not make this stuff up even if I tried.

Wow, really? Now I think it's okay to say I'm surprised. :eek:
