New Brevoort Formspring
-
Hi. I've been reading the Fantastic Four Strange Days Epic Collection & I found the Onslaught chapters interesting. Although I was a reader at the time I don't know a lot about what was planned for Heroes Return. Was it meant to be permanent? If so, do you know if Hulk was intended to be permanently separated from Banner? Was Franklin's ball always meant as a back door to get the heroes back? Apologies for the questions about old comics.
Heroes Reborn was open-ended, so it absolutely was intended to be permanent if it worked. And, indeed, had it worked, more and more stuff would have likely been farmed out to outside studios, and the Marvel Universe as we know it today would have been fragmented and ruptured. Franklin’s ball was always a back door to the heroes’ return, yes, in the eventuality that that was the way things went, but it was far from a certainty. And the two Hulks came about because the Hulk wasn’t initially a part of the agreement, and then he was added in relatively late in the process, so that’s what was negotiated. Had things gone on longer, inevitably the Marvel Universe Bannerless Hulk would have had to have been done away with.
theonlycoreyever said: Rob Liefeld likes to talk about how well his Avengers and Cap sold and so he states that it was a success. I didn’t realize that Heroes Reborn could have been ongoing. In what ways did it not “work” that caused it to go away? Creatively or sales?
