MARVEL To Publish Something​

Marvel To Publish Something

I understand that on Friday’s Cup O’ Joe panel at San Diego Comic Con, Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada will announce that Marvel will publish something. And I know what it is. I squirrelled it out, piecing together all sorts of aspects from many sources. But I’ve been asked to hold off from any mention, however small, even on the atomic level, because of unique issues involved. So I’m being nice.

When they announce what it is, there is bound to be speculation, intrigue, interest and artwork hitting the major sites. The boards will explode, twitter will fail, this is the closest I’ve ever seen to that fabled legend in comics, that of breaking the internet in half. Joe Quesada has been doing his own teasing. He twitters;

I’m going to say this repeatedly over the next few days, Go to the Cup o’ Joe panel on Friday at 2:00
​

Why? Because somewhere midway through the panel, we’ll be showing a piece of art and making an announcement that will be the talk of the con.
​

He’s right, it will be.

But I’m not telling. Because of real, honest, extenuating circumstances that could screw real, honest people over if I run it now. In fact, the timing is such an issue, the announcement may have to wait till the end of the panel.

After the announcement there will be a lot of questions. You never know, I might even have some answers.

Superman going to marvel?

 

[Darth Snoopy]

After I read the article I thought of what Dave had mentioned here somewhere and I thought about Superman moving to Marvel.

 

[Shai]

I think its been said the Superman rights could end up in the hands of Marvel...So that may be the Big news.

I can see a whole green machine and supes series in my mind right now

 

[Chapter 2099]

Marvel does NOT need Supes. DC needs to keep him for themselves.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

DC's & Time Warner's rights to Superman are ending in 2013 according to the LA Times

In response to the decision, Toberoff released a statement saying "the entire accounting action pales in camparison to the fact that in 2013, the Siegels, along with the estate of [co-creator] Joe Shuster, will own the entire original copyright to Superman and neither DC Comics nor Warner Bros. will be able to exploit any new Superman works without a licencse from the Siegels and Shusters."

Judge rules Warner Bros. paid 'fair-market value' for 'Superman' rights​

 

[Chapter 2099]

This is REALLY big news if it's true. I really enjoy Superman because, well, he's Superman, but I can't imagine him becoming a Marvel character. It just wouldn't be the same.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

If this is Marvel's big news...it'll certainly be strange to see Superman under the Marvel logo.

That's what I mean. So I guess we'll just have to wait and see, but Supes will always be DC in mind, no matter what.

 

[Jaycepticon]

I was wondering how they wouldn't put him in this

 

[FQRizzo]

I was hoping they would publish Joe Q's resignation letter.

That would have been AWESOME!

 

[**16k**]

If it's true, the good thing about this is we might soon get a new Superman movie. I'm tired of the all Dark Knight policy of DC! I wish Supes had stayed DC, but if they are unable to manage the Man of Steel, screw them!

 

[Chapter 2099]

Is that a recent image from a Google campaign? (You're right. That doesn't make sense though. Why would you NOT add "The Man of Steel" and instead give Robin his own letter??? )

not recent, but current, like right this moment But exactly, how do you have a comic-con theme, and NOT have him? Something just seems odd

It's years away before DC could lose the Superman rights. Don't think that would effect a Google logo now.

 

[Hulksmashed]

If in fact Marvel DOES get Superman...well that might just be the end of anything enjoyable from either DC or Marvel!

First, what does the Superman liscense imply? Does DC lose the rights to the entire Superman family (i.e. Power Girl, Super Girl, Superman Prime, Kingdom Come Superman, Krypto....and anything stemming from Krypton)? If so half the DCU just dissapears! The Trinity is now a Duo? Lame

Second, what the heck is MARVEL going to do with Superman? Exactly two people in the standard Marvel U can be matched against him. Hulk, and Sentry. Now I dont know about you, but I might get a little bored reading about Superman Vs. Hulk Vs. Sentry! That might get boring fast. Sure there are magic users and all...but come on.

Third...how do they introduce him? "Oh readers...by the way...Superman has always existed in the Marvel U"? Maybe a little deal with Mephisto? If Superman actually COMES from an alternate DC unverse and lands in Marvel..that means his greatest weakness (kryptonite) stays behind and the man of Steel is unbeatable!

 

[Darth Waller]

They'd just kill him off. Or make him lose his powers.

 

[316what]

McFarlane back to Spidey???
