They will get the rights to Solar,Magnus,Turok,Dr Spektor, etc. Two Headed Nerd podcast where one of the hosts said, I’m going to break something here on the show. A rumor I heard while I was in LA, with a person who will remain unnamed who works for Dynamite Comics. This person told me “DC actively trying to buy Dynamite Comics”, and news like this, I didn’t think anything of it when I heard this rumor. I was like ehhh, that sounds kind of fishy. And then this [DC and Dynamite teaming up on a Batman/Shadow crossover] pops up this week, and I did go hmmm. So just throwing it out there.” He can’t say if it was a staff member or a freelancer.
Dynamite’s books skew heavily to the older male demographic that DC targets so adding The Green Hornet to the Greens Arrow and Lantern line-up would unite verdure for all times. However, most of Dynamite’s comics are licensed pulp properties, which DC had a go at a few years ago and ditched due to the costs. Maybe DC is buying Dynamite for it’s coloring department? I think they want to integrate all those characters into their Universe now that they brought back Multiple Universes.
DC gets the rights to:
1.Ths Shadow
2.Green Hornet
3.Edgar Rice Burroughs characters like John Carter
4.The Gold Key Comic Characters
They get a deal with DreamWorks Animation for the Gold Key Characters. A foot in the door for more later. A office set up again in New York.
I talked to a lady at a local comic book shop today, and she said that she heard Dynamite was on the chopping block. DC probally got it CHEAP.
Instant market share.More books. Digital rights to Dark Horse Comics. This Is a Win-Win.
