Next in the Disneyification of everything that was once great?

In an interview with The Big Issue (via Uproxx), the 93-year old Lee spoke about the potential of a Star Wars and Marvel crossover. After all, both universes are currently owned by Disney, so it is theoretically possible. And Lee seems totally okay with this thoroughly outrageous concept:


If they feel that incorporating Star Wars with the Marvel characters will be very successful, they’ll find a way to do it. Can you imagine Spider-Man saying, ‘May the force be with you?’ It may come to that!

Just recently in the comics there was a Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Ghostbusters Crossover

Dr Who/Star Trek actually makes some sense.

There is also a recent Batman/TMNT crossover.

All of this is cool but is seems like a cop-out fan fiction sellout..is anybody out there writing any new characters and stories? Does this generation have a Stan Lee or even a Todd McFarlane?

There are still some great writers out there but new characters are hard to be assimilated into the zeitgeist.

Obviously Robert Kirkman has exploded with Walking Dead but he had a superhero book called Invincible that is very popular as well.

Mark Millar created Wanted and Kick Ass. He has a slew of other independent projects that have been optioned for movies.

Marvel and DC have a hard time introducing new characters. They tend to just get swallowed by the old guard. Like Hollywood they often play it safe by giving a new character a familiar mantle like the Miles Morales Spider-Man.

Of course sometimes it just takes a while for the right creator to give the new character life. For instance Deadpool was a fairly generic anti-hero before writer Joe Kelly started making him be the wise cracking assassin that breaks the 4th wall. Now he's getting a movie.
