We've seen comic packs, and we've obviously all seen trade paperbacks of collected comics, but recently after digging through old boxes I stumbled on something I had forgotten about...
I'm talking about the Novels marvel made in the 90s
X-Men: Mutant Empire (Utopia, before Utopia happened.)
X-Men: The Jewels of Cyttorak
X-Men: Smoke and Mirrors
Hulk: Rampage
Doom's Day book series (Books ranging from Spidey and Ironman, to Hulk, and even the fantastic 4! All centered around Dr. Doom.)
Spider-Man: Carnage in New York
Ironman: Operation Aim (Starring Tony Stark, James Rhodes, Black Panther, and Captain America)
Ironman: Armor Trap (Starring Tony Stark, and James Rhodes)
The Ultimate Silver Surfer Collection (short story collection from various authors about the surfer and characters he interacts wtih)
The Ultimate Spider-Man Collection (Short stories all centered around spider-man and his friends and family)
The Ultimate Super-Villian Collection (short stories about various villains in the Marvel universe and their connections within the MU as well.)
Fantastic Four
Generation X: Ghosts of the Past (Okay this one should probably be forgotten about).
X-Men and the Avengers (Part of the gamma Quest trilogy)
Time's Arrow book series
Etc, etc.
Among many more.
Including Spider-Man's various books. (Books that cover the gambit of almost every villian! From carnage to venom, even the lizard, and the sinister six!)
So my question is, how many of us would be interested in getting these books republished alongside MU, IM2, XMO figures?
Ironman: Armor Trap with an Ironman Figure and Comic Series War machine or baron von strucker as an example. Or Adaptoids to go with Operation AIM.
Among any other character variations Hasbro could do from within the confines of these books themselves. Army building figures, and more. Just for example. It's rather hard to point out the exact specifics they could do, without ruining the books themselves if any are interested in checking them out.
Comics already help kids get into reading, but this would be one step further into getting them reading normal books too.
Would these help get kids into reading? Would you be interested in some of these books and figures? (the books are written on a mild highschool level, but sometimes can surprise you with high vocabulary usage too. So easily reachable by the majority, with even a few college level words sporadicly.)
----
Personally, I just finished re-reading both of the Ironman Novels. And all I gotta say is, awesome. Maybe not the best literature I've ever read, but it was a fun romp nonetheless and they managed to keep the characters highly accurate. It was also refreshing to be reminded what the Marvel U was like before Civil war and so on occurred. Then they got me outright fiending, yes fiending to get my hands on the IM2 comic series War Machine and the 90s TAS modok figure. So I'm all down for an idea like this, especially if it means rarities like Adaptoids, Baron von Strucker, and more. Figures that maybe wouldn't sell without some form of help to push them. Plus, it could get MU pushed even in Book stores now as well.
So, Should hasbro do it or not? And have you guys read these books or even heard of them anyway? What's your vote, and why? Or if you'd prefer it to be anonymous, you can do that too.
