Fan Rants is a podcast done by one crass jerk (Kevin) and one guy who tries to keep him in line (Johnny). We are both Sci Fi geeks, so things tend to be focused in that direction, but we try not to limit ourselves. Topics range from upcoming movies, current TV, Sci Fi conventions, books/comic books we are reading, and how much we'd pay to kick some directors in their hammers. And by hammers, we mean their... Well, you see where that's going. This podcast is explicit, so consider yourself warned.

We happen to be into sci fi, you you'll hear a lot of that with other things tossed in. sci,fi,scifi,Movies,Film,tv,television,balls,fant,fants Fan Rants » deadpool http://fanrants.net/podcasts/fan_rants_logo_pod.jpg http://fanrants.net/fants Marvel Is Stripping DC Comics http://fanrants.net/fants/rants/comicnews/marvel-is-stripping-dc-comics/ http://fanrants.net/fants/rants/comicnews/marvel-is-stripping-dc-comics/#comments Thu, 14 Jan 2010 15:48:40 +0000 Johnny http://fanrants.net/fants/?p=883 Years ago, before there were such things as Comic Book stores, retailers of periodicals would get credit for unsold items by sending back the top portion of the cover. This is still done by some book retailers but it was never presented as an opportunity for comic book stores.

This week, Marvel announced in a press release that they will be having a special variant edition of Seige #3 with Deadpool on the cover. How do you get this ultra rare comic? The only way is to send in 50 strips (top portion of a comic book cover) to Marvel. Oh, and not just any 50 strips, but specific DC comics:

  • Adventure Comics #4
  • Booster Gold #26
  • Doom Patrol #4
  • Justice League Of America #39
  • Outsiders #24.
  • R.E.B.E.L.S #10

Wow…I don’t know if I should be shocked by this or not. It’s really not going to affect the small comic retailers as several of these sold out quickly and 50 comics is quite a few to trade in for a single variant covered comic. The large retailers, or those who REALLY goofed on their numbers, can benefit from the exclusive. But to me this really smacks at a war cry between the publishers.

Perhaps the gloves are coming off now that DC Entertainment is handling film/TV rights a little more aggressively. Perhaps Marvel is a little jealous at the great response the Blackest Night story arc had at DC comics. All I want to know is how DC will respond or retaliate.
