The New DCU 52

[Flightpath07]

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.

Marvel did the same with Ghost Rider back in the 90's with Ghost Rider, Spirits of Vengeance, MCP, and the Midnight Sons tie-ins (Morbius, Darkhold, & Night Stalkers)Not to forget the Original Ghost Rider Riders Again (reprint of the last 14 books) + The Original Ghost Rider (reprints from Marvel Spot Light to GR 12 when it got canned) This effect is called the "Umbrella effect" where you get a popular character and have multiple titles and have cross overs every summer with the occasional guess appearance.

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?

[cmdrkoenig67]

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

Correction: Drawn by Miller, but written by Claremont.

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

1. Bendis' Favourite Poses of Dead Canadian Heroes # 1

2. Worst Alpha Flight Artists Ever # 1

3. The Very Last Marvel Big Event (of this year) # 1

4. Canadian Avengers (Now Featuring No Canadians!)# 1

5. X-Men North # 1 (wherein all of Canada's mutants head to the USA, never to return)

6. Marvel Universe Kills Guardian # 1

7. Power Pack # 1 (featuring Julie Power, Alex Power, Wolverine, and Spiderman!)

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.

I don't know where the rumour started but I just read in a Newsarama review about JLI, that Booster himself may in fact be Canadian.

Here is the quote by reviewer Edward Kaye:
"We now have a UN-sanctioned team, with each team member hailing from a different county. The team is headed up by Booster Gold (who is rumored to be Canadian now), and is based out of the Hall of Justice."

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