When Dead Universes aren't dead anymore

Post by Cyberstrike »

Should we rethink the "dead universe" since several have come out their graves and returned even if they didn't last very long the last go around. I mean we've seen revivals for CGW, Crossgen, Marvel 2099, New Universe, Atlas/Seaboard, MLJ/Impact/Dark/Red Circle, and Milestone now granted that these revivals didn't last very long.
Know this: I would rather be hated for being honest for my opinions, than being loved as a liar!

Did you consider Marvel's few "Crossgen" books a true Crossgen relaunch?

Just curious in semantics

That is what Marvel called them.

In this day and age of remakes, reboots and reimagining, I don’t know if there’s anything that can, or will, stay dead. I hear about a new one almost everyday. Just in the past few days I’ve heard/read about LOST and Cagney and Lacey getting new TV series. The list seems endless.
