DC Acquisitions

Man, I WISH they still used the Charlton, Fawcett, and Quality characters.

Don't forget All-American, aka the place where Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash and tons more came from. National originally only published Superman and Batman, ironically enough.

>Captain Atom mini
>Blue Beetle ongoing
>Ray in JLA
>Chinese ripoff Freedom Fighters in NSM

What did you mean by this?

And Classic Uncle Sam came back last year.

>>91788529
Milestone?

>>91788664
All-American was acquired way before National became DC though.

Well, Marvel bought Malibu, and acquired CrossGen by way of Marvel themselves being bought by Disney, but they haven’t done jack shit with those properties in ages, especially Malibu. Last CrossGen titles were in 2011.

>>91788664
That was a merger though, was it not? The owners of National Allied Publications also funded Detective Comics, Inc. The CEO of both companies also funded All-American Publications. Then they merged and became National Comics Publications.

Milestone Media was published by DC Comics but were never owned by them. The company was basically licensed to DC.

Were a DC subsidiary from the start.

Marvel can never use ultraverse characters. Legal limbo.

They could however use non ultraverse characters or just the trademarks.

>>91788849

Alright, let's look at what notable properties Marvel gained from it:

>CrossGen
... Not a single one I've ever heard of, why did Disney ever buy them?

>Malibu

>Exiles
Well, at least they got a trademark there?
>Men in Black
Now there's something, why haven't they tried that?

>>91789636
Malibu was bought for their coloring technologies.

>>91789636
>Now there's something, why haven't they tried that?

Sony has the film rights and they don't really need to do a Men in Black comic.

>>91788679
>>91788777
>>91788628
Let's not forget that they were a huge part of a Multiversity book.

>>91789738
>Malibu was bought for their coloring technologies.
Which are no doubt obsolete by now, ain't that some bullshit?

>>91788777

In what book?

>>91789738
>>91789980
That’s false.

One of the founders of Malibu:
>Marvel didn’t buy Malibu for its coloring department. After Marvel bought the company, they tried to dismantle the coloring department immediately by bringing in a group of consultants to crunch numbers to prove it was too expensive to maintain. Marvel had a long-term agreement with a coloring house in Ireland and preferred to send books out of house instead of using inhouse technology. Also, the head of Marvel’s manufacturing department at that time was from the old school and had no idea how computers worked.

I loved the Ultraverse, then marvel bought it and started making dumb changes like with Mantra, and Prototype, you can tell that they just bought it to get rid of the competition.

>>91788529
Publishers, no. But for acquisitions, no one can top The Mouse.

Reminder that DC was bought by a Parking Lot company

>>91788529
DC also bought up Prize Comic's romance titles.

>>91789636
They bought Angela, didn't they?

>>91791594
They bought ONE character there, it's not like they obtained all of Todd McFarlane Productions

>>91791746
They got Angela and Miracleman.
