Marvel Unleashes Alien and Predator on the Avengers in David Finch Teasers





Damnnnnn. Firstly, poor Dark Horse, do they have anything else at this point?

On the other, Predator vs Avengers and Aliens vs GOTG? Yes please.

Aliens vs Star Wars

What's with all the randomness? First Conan now this? Is Conan doing well under Marvel? I liked Aaron's issues but not Savage Avengers and have no idea of numbers.

Aliens vs Star Wars

Aliens vs Brood

Aliens vs Brood

You must be a youngster. Marvel first had Conan back in the 1970s with a famed run by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor Smith. There was a Conan Omnibus from that era that was a top seller in 2019

March I think was the last time there are sales figures and it was in the top 100.

ROM: Spaceknight or bust!!!!!

Conan's appearances in Savage Avengers have been entertaining IMO. How can you top a trio of Conan, Doom and Doctor Strange?

^^^Yeah I’m happy w. Marvel’s second go around on Conan.

ROM: Spaceknight or bust!!!!!

^^^Amen, brother! I loved Marvel’s Rom.

On topic...meh.
Preds lose to everyone, that’s their thing, so them losing Marvel to characters will be okay I guess.

As for Aliens, Marvel already has the more interesting and well established Brood.

We're definitely getting a Deadpool vs Predator mini

Hasbro got all of the rights to ROM and IDW was/is publishing new comics.

How about getting something people actually want like Rom and Micronauts back instead of wasting money on two properties that have both been run into the dirt?

I don't think Rom and Micronauts are setting the world on fire either.

Wasting money? Isn't it possible they simply defaulted back to Disney because they now own 20th Century Studios (formerly Fox)? And then Disney just gave them to the comics company they own.

So you think ROM and the Micronauts will make more money then Aliens and Predator?!?!?! Who are all of these people clamoring for ROM and Micronauts?! Predator and Aliens made money for Dark Horse.

IDW tried Rom and Micronauts.

However both got overshadowed by bitter fandom who could not accept a black Matt Trakker in MASK (there was a petition to fire the writer on change.org). Along with folks trying to get GI JOE writers fired even to the point of calling Hasbro about it.

Both has books or something up until 2018. Rom was in the process of getting a movie in 2018.


I will say having Aliens and Predator will mean some limitations to what they can and can't do.

Probably a toning down of the violence.

I just prefer REH Conan and Dark Horse Conan to Marvel Conan and early Marvel Conan
