This week on The Watchtower, Donnie’s back! And not a moment too soon, as we’ve got a whole bunch o’crap to jam into this week’s episode!
Movies movies movies! So much news this week, all coming out faster than we could keep up with! We’ve whittled it down to the big stuff though! Green Lantern, The Flash, Scott Pilgrim, Thor and Spider-Man all made the cut, so take notes! There will be a test… maybe.
Jerry Siegel. Joe Shuster. Stan Lee. Jack Kirby. Probably the four most important names in comics. Each one has had their share of legal woes with the companies that own their creations, and now the Estate of Jack Kirby is suing Marvel/Disney to get his characters back. We ask the big question: what if they win?
Plus, Mark Millar and Lenil Francis Yu have a new project on the way. Teaser images for “Superior” have hit the net, and they’ve caused quite a stir.
All this and of course The Forecast, and the newly recuperated Questy’s Rant Farm!

Your point about Kirby raises a fascinating question. Would you give up a LARGE portion of the characters you love to witness quite possibly the biggest story in comics, past, present and future? Probably not, but a small part of me would love to read it. Who would you get to work on such a thing?

We would absolutely cover it if that’s what you mean. I think that there are enough good stories out there that don’t involve the destruction of half the industry though lol.

lol No Moss. Simon is asking if there was a story line that had to end in a company killing off (losing characters for ever) who would you like to see being ‘lost’ and who would write and draw it. My choices would be pretty bland. Mark Millar would have to write it. He’s the best at giant disastrous events. Carlos Pacheco would have to draw it because he’s so tight. In order for the event to be epic you would have to get rid of some a list characters but don’t make me choose who.
