Marvel can do a Goofy-Punisher team up. DC can respond with Bosco meets Rorschach. Life is good.
Actually, my reaction is somewhere between "sigh" and "meh". Marvel and DC have been passed around by bigger and bigger corporations since the mid-late 70's, IIRC. The industry is more about "strong global brand and world-renowned library of characters" now than storytelling, as far as I can see. That's the "sigh". The "meh" comes as recognition that this is just the latest step in a long trend. I mean, AOL owns DC, right?
Still, while I find contemporary mainstream comics unreadable, the "strong global brand and world-renowned library of characters" focus may have been good for a boom in action figures and collectible memorabilia. I'd never have expected to see Killer Moth, Rorschach, or the Golden Age Atom in action figure form. DC Direct is impressive to me. Maybe the Disney link will lead Marvel to start its own version of DC Direct. So I could add "Ooh, goody!" to my list of responses. Hmm.
Edited because I -abled when I should have -ibled.
