What a cool job.
How many differ...Congratulations. What a cool job.<br /><br />How many different STAR WARS COMICS are there now? It seems like a lot. <br /><br />Just to add to the mix: the new version of the RETURN OF THE JEDI adaptation hit WHS yesterday... to be followed by THE PHANTOM MENACE next month. It seems there is no such thing as an exclusive license anymore as several publishers have a piece of the action.

The presence of giant robots never sat that well with GI JOE except for the initial novelty of seeing them together.

It never held much water because - surely - the cheaper option would have been just to poach someone with extensive knowledge of the Malibu infrastructure and reproduce it for Marvel. <br /><br />Market share, the share price, Wall Street perceptions, keeping DC off the top slot, removing a competitor and Hollywood access (Malibu had, after all, sealed several TV deals... something that Marvel had frequently struggled to do until the ex boss of Marvel Productions had landed the job heading up Fox Kids and become a buyer of Marvel product) are all far more plausible.

Marvel had a history of computer colouring beforehand (the Epic reprints of Akira spring to mind).<br /><br />With their outsourced colour operations in Ireland being swamped occasionally by the (unsustainable) glut of titles they put out in the mid-1990s, this story did gain a bit of traction at the time.<br /><br />For more of the real facts to support Slow Robot's post above, you can check here:<br /><br />http://filingcabinetofthedamned.blogspot.com/2005/03/marvel-and-malibu-full-story.htmlJon Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17621027721369828175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024401572816020459.post-15849757466006489942016-06-01T19:40:26.715+01:002016-06-01T19:40:26.715+01:00Latest issue of Dr Who Adventures is written by me...Latest issue of Dr Who Adventures is written by me too, if you're interested ...<br /><a href="http://downthetubes.net/?p=31454" rel="nofollow">http://downthetubes.net/?p=31454</a>KlownKrustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02951875989078181671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024401572816020459.post-28707071045499032892016-06-01T18:40:56.371+01:002016-06-01T18:40:56.371+01:00the mother of all cross-overs :

There I said:<br /><br />Ed,<br /><br />The strips in Star Wars Adventures were reprints when I last looked about a month ago. Egmont were in a holding pattern in light of the new films.<br /><br />Egmont's other SW titles--Rebels and Lego--feature new strips (or at least they are new to the UK, I'd guess they may be enjoying a broadly concurrent printing in Europe).KlownKrustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02951875989078181671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024401572816020459.post-42029140610108468782016-05-31T12:31:05.396+01:002016-05-31T12:31:05.396+01:00as well as the recent TRANCERS comic, a new cd h...as well as the recent TRANCERS comic, a new cd has also been released :<br /><br /><br />http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.10210/.f?sc=13&category=22848<br /><br />edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13633073283427830809noreply@blogger.com
