" @ohms@sith said:i thought of something similar to this before and finally im glad im seeing something similar to it imerging. before, i was thinking how it would be cool if Marvel had comics in other countries; like in japan, europe, china, india, i mean everywhere; where each country had their own national icon (like Captain Britain) that represented itself in the marvel u, but,they have their own adventures; written by the locals, and somehow, it all tied together as a realistic earth marvel universe. My idea to this was developed after thinking and seeing the japanese anime of batman, and that cheesy spiderman live action series. '' won't it be cool if marvel universe extended to the rest of the world, where their titles are written by their locals. how cool it would be to see how different cultures create their OWN adventures, characters, storyline, how they would face certain problems, etc, etc." not only marvel would be the first one to diversifying itself, but the marvel company would expand exponentially, to include the rest of the world, who we know are already interested in our heroes ( like spider man, x men, wolverine (there was also mangaverse) batman superman from DC, etc). i thought that this would probably be the next step in the evolution in our comic industry, since not only will they start getting profit elsewhere, but also, be part of connecting the world communities together. i mean what better way to bring people together if their favorites heroes work together to solve problems that might reflect in our world today or work together to save the planet from a common villain or certain types of threat that is too big for just one country alone, or one hero alone. not only this will influence the minds but also set a great example to everyone in the world. we would be sharing a culture through comic books and everyone will learn how different and the same we all are.....anyways, that was one of my thoughts that i had back then after watching the japanese Batman movie... i am a big fan of marvel universe over dc: not to say i dont like dc" Wow. This is pretty amazing. I'd heard of 'The 99', but not realised how big it was.Well done DC! "@TheBug said:" This is exciting. Hopefully DC will continue to diversify.

"My question is (and sorry that I'm off topic) why are Green Arrow, Zatanna and Atom all staring at Superman's crotch? "
