Should Marvel swoop in and scoop up the Valiant characters?

[Anthony W]

I'm pretty sure Marvel doesn't even need real money at this point, toss some Disney bucks at them and see what happens. If they ask for real money walk away...but really slowly. Chances are they change their minds

I get a little nervous when it's just a few companies owning everything. Monopolies are never good.

No thank you

Sounds interesting. If this helps bring back Chromium/Enhanced Covers, then I'd totally support it...







I'd also be interested if Joe Quesada could do artwork for this once again...

How did Marvel owning Malibu and Crossgen comics go ?

[Micabe]

I think not... Marvel can barely write the characters they currently own with any real consistency.

Nah, they should focus on getting it together in what they own.

How did Marvel owning Malibu and Crossgen comics go ?

Terribly, but the MCU is really into the whole Multiverse stuff now. Using Valiant, Malibu, Crossgen and the New Universe to create a multiverse that is actually interesting as opposed to using variants would be the way to go.

Let's face it folks variants are as low effort as they are boring.

No marvel and dc for that matter shouldn’t waste their money and time. They’ve got hundreds of characters they don’t even use. I like those characters but both companies have characters who are almost 1 for 1 and are far better. If another company had to buy them, and not launch as their own company, let it be either Dark horse or Boom.

When marvel starts using the characters from the other two companies they bought then we'll talk.

What happened to Valiant?

Let me get this straight -- You want Marvel to buy up the characters from another company despite them having no need for them just because you don't like variants (an opinion you seem to be in the minority on), all while knowing that the last time Marvel bought up characters from another company it didn't end well?

What happened to Valiant?

They've laid off most of their staff and work seems to have stopped on most of their series.

It looks like the company is slowly winding down operations.

All of this.

I can think of a 25 MARVEL characters I'd rather get books.

I never read any of the Crossgen stuff so I can't comment on that. They absolutely ruined Malibu though. I bought several of those monthlies before Marvel bought that company and it all sucked afterwards. I'm still convinced that is why they bought Malibu in the first place.
