Koete Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Why, oh why, won't DC put out affordable Captain Marvel collections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 After reading Streets of Poison, I was all choked that I got rid of all my Gruenwald era Cap comics only a few weeks ago without rereading them. Then I realized I have "The Captain" in trade form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 I fucking loved "The Captain" when it was published. I'm terrified to re-read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Why, oh why, won't DC put out affordable Captain Marvel collections. A big part of that is that the copyright on all the old Fawcett comics were never renewed and they're virtually all in the public domain. The lion's share of the Marvel titles are all easily located on archive sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 That would definitely explain it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 DC should do it, because they have the means to do it really well. The Shazam! Archives were gorgeous. But most of these comics can be read for free online, so the readership (which is not going to be super high anyway) willing to spend money on a bound edition is not going to be enough to justify it.

Davedevil Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Hasn't stopped them from putting out DVDs of the Fleischer Superman cartoons though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 I fucking loved "The Captain" when it was published. I'm terrified to re-read it. Yeah...but I know for a fact that some of those issues are great. The Fall of the Mutants tie-in and the Vault breakout are really fun. The early stuff with Cap being decowled I remember being pretty powerful too. Gruenwald wrote Cap for like ten years and had very few stinkers for the amount of time he wrote it (looking at you, Cap-Wolf and weird armored Cap suit that looked like NFL Superpro!). A lot of people shit on Streets of Poison too, but Ron Lim draws it and Cap takes meth and becomes an asshole. What couldn't possibly be awesome about that?

Dan Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Hasn't stopped them from putting out DVDs of the Fleischer Superman cartoons though. But almost none of those DVDs are from Warners. I could put out a Fleischer Superman DVD if I felt like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 So, in Justice League 3000, Guy Gardner has been transported into the future, and is in the body of a woman.All I'm saying is, let's not forget my rendition of Gal Gardner: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 It's actually been an interesting read so far. It says a lot about gender though it has a few times treaded a fine line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 The initial order for the first trade of Star Wars is between 200 and 250 thousand copies, which is fucking insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I don't know if it's that insane. That's about a decent sized event comics circulation and the book stores are going to want a MASSIVE piece of those, especially in the wake of a new Star Wars film. Makes a lot of sense.

Stavros Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Ok, I'm going crazy but is there a book, and actual issue, that details the fall of the Capt Britain corps, or is there only the recap we get in Hickmans Avengers books? I feel like I'm missing a huge chunk of story. I'm going to assume the Franklin stuff was in Fantastic Four. What happening to asterisks and note detailing books where events happened?

Missy Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 There's also mention of it in the Spider-Verse prelude, so I'm assuming there's more elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 EDIT: It looks like it happens in New Avengers 30? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Yeah, that's the recap issue in Hickman's run I read that made me want to find the full story, if it exists. I saw that it happened in the SpiderVerse as well which piqued my initial interest. It's like if Thor turned up with one eye and said "Ragnarok happened, all the Asgardians are dead" but there was no story where it actually happened.
