      This. That's why they're resorting to nostalgia. They're also bringing back Ron Marz to write more cosmic Marvel.

        It seems Mantlo negotiated terms with Shooter that necessitated Marvel buying the rights to Rocket from him to make the movies. Being that Marvel was normally work for hire, I suspect Epic Comics may have been involved as Shooter created that line for creator-owned comics.

        Apparently before the first GOTG movie Disney quietly made sure his continuing heathcare and living situation is taken care of in a private institution instead of a nursing home to avoid the same PR stuff Warner got about Siegel & Shuster when the Superman movie came out.

          Big Hero 6 was a source of conflict between Marvel and Disney Animation as they didn't agree on what direction to take the characters and it led to Disney taking Disney Animation's side and Marvel deciding not to use Big Hero 6 since

          What's also odd is seeing Big Hero 6 associated with actual Disney merch as opposed to Marvel merch

                It's the same with the micronauts who basically got split. So Marvel got to keep Rann and Mari and Bug and Hasbro got Karza and Acroyear etc. but without the other half neither is worth much.

              The first issue of Void Rivals got a lot of orders prior to FOC
              Granted, it's a first issue and numbers dwindle unless you're making Saga or SIKTC
              I doubt it'll be THAT crucial as mandatory reading, otherwise wouldn't a Hasbro logo be present?
