It's new to me, but the concept is rather interesting. I wonder how it will turn out.
It's been around for a while... it was announced at the end of the "Marville" series. Anyway keep in mind Marvel keeps anything you create... and they can change it however they want.

Sounds great, except the part when they own everything you do.
I do really want to give it a shot, though. Using only Marvel characters in the marvel universe.
I know about it, I even had a concept I wanted to pitch, but I wasn't overly thrilled with Marvel getting to keep some of the rights to my original work.

It's more like shared ownership, where Marvel gets 60% of everything.

Thanks for the link. Sharing ownership would bother me if it was one of my game ideas. Instead, it just popped out of nowhere for the sheer purpose of comic publishing and I'm capable of parting with it in the likely event I'm hire+unlikely event I'm ditched. I don't want to go into detail as I need to research my subject matter (great...more homework) for the sake of making the story flow but I'll say this: Take something supernatural/occultish and apply a "Blade"esque real life sensibility...

Yes, that's a good attitud with this kind of deals. I'mean, it's not like we all are published pros. I think sometimes sacrifices must be made to get a foot into the door. (or something like that, my english is not that good)

Yeah, most of my other ideas I'd fight tooth and nail to hold onto my precious children. [blinks] Oh, no... I'M STARTING TO SOUND LIKE ITAGAKI!
Intriguingly, one of my older ideas that I had "ditched" revived itself within my mind. Now, in addition to "research" I've got to decided between my ideas. The older one is starting to seem a tad more appealing since it is superhero based but then, it could be rejected to to Marvel already having too many heroes.
