  1. WI: Jim Shooter remained with DC Comics in the 1970s?

    This is more idle speculation on my part so don't call it a comeback. I'm not really in the proper headspace to restart my dormant TLs, much less start a new one. As one could tell from my signature, I authored the Iron Age where the PoD was Jim Shooter being successful in buying out Marvel from...

  2. The Iron Age of Comics: Jim Shooter's Return to Marvel
    Threadmarks: Introduction

    -Excerpted from the thread “WI Jim Shooter never returned to Marvel Comics?” on counter-history.net, April 30, 2020 -- And thus after spending the last few years contributing or ghosting pop culture threads, I have posted my own comic book themed TL. So the PoD is Ron Perelman dying in a car...

  3. WI: Marvel Comics "licenses" DC characters in 1984

    I have posted this idea around six years ago, but I thought I would repost it because I recently had a couple thoughts. According to former Marvel Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter, Bill Sarnoff, Executive VP of Publishing at Warner Communications offered to license the publishing rights of DC Comics'...

  4. WI: A Successful Green Lantern Film in 2011?

    This is inspired by the "Batman v Superman is a flop" thread in Non-Political chat. 2011's Green Lantern is one of the few films that angers me because was executed horribly despite a solid concept. It was Warner Bros. and DC's first attempt at a cinematic universe, but aborted in favour of Man...

  5. Pop Culture WI: Marvel Comics implodes

    I recall from a book or another source that Marvel Comics was in rather bad shape in the late 1970s because of poor management and missed deadlines until Jim Shooter became Editor-in-Chief. Let us assuming that Jim Shooter worked elsewhere in the late seventies and the revolving door of E-i-Cs...

  6. DBWI: What if the Sony PlayStation was more successful?

    I was rummaging in my parents' basement for some old stuff of mine when I came across an old catalog from 1995 and saw a name I have not heard in a while: the Sony PlayStation. The system was always a bit of a curiosity to me since I never bought or received one as a gift (as I was a Sega fanboy...

  7. AHC: Save the "The Flash" TV series

    Exactly as it says on the tin, I do not think many people here would remember "The Flash" television series from 1990 that starred John Wesley Shipp as Barry Allen/The Flash. And yes it is odd that they chose Barry Allen over the then-current Flash, Wally West, for the show but what are you...

  8. WI: Marvel Bought/Licensed DC Comics in 1984?

    I saw this interesting blog entry from former Marvel Editor-in-Chief, Jim Shooter, and wondered what would happen if the deal when through. According to the Shooter the first wave of the "Marvel-ized" DC characters would be... With FLASH and presumably other characters as part of the second...

  9. AH Challenge: Western Separatism in Canada takes hold

    Inspired by the "No Trudeau" thread, I started to wonder if separatism in Western Canada could become a significant force. In 1982, Gordon Kesler of the separatist Western Concept Party won a seat in Alberta's legislature in a by-election, but lost his seat months later in the 1982 general...

  10. The Province of Buffalo

    I've been thinking of this since I saw an article in Canadian Geographic about the great province that never was. Would it have been possible for the Province of Buffalo to exist? If so, would it have concentrated "too much power" in one province? Somehow I don't think so but I still ponder...
