Necrosha..Marvel's answer to Blackest Night?

[infernohara]

It may not affect things on a global scale like Blackest Night is, but could this be Marvel's self contained answer? I've read the first issue of Blackest night and figure Selene could really make things interesting. Do you think the characters that come back will be as sympathetic as they once were or do you think they'll become psychotic? Will Selene actually kill some named mutants and bring them to her side?

I love the many ways they can play this. Playing with ones emotions can really parts of people. So the starjammers may need to stay in orbit at least till Necrosha is over because if they do come back Rachel will most likely bite it. Anyway, excuse the rant......Can Necrosha stack up?

[darknessatnoon]

So are you asking us to compare the two crossovers (even though we haven't seen one and the comparison has been made numerous times) or are you asking to effuse over the return of Skin, etc... ?

[infernohara]

I would love the return of skin and I didn't notice a thread that already compared. If so, I missed it, but was wondering will Necrosha stand up to Blackest night and would we have the same psychotic killer angles the Black Lanterns give or would this be more psychological to the X-men.

[timbox]

A techno organic army is much more interesting than a black lantern corps or whatever they have.

It's not in a thread title, but DC crazies have been making the comparison/accusation all over the place.
And we don't know yet what the resurrected will be like apart from being grave lickers.

[Azure]

I see absolutely no connection between the two stories? One is about a virus, and the other is about aliens and rings or something.

[frog]

Marvel's answer to Blackest Night is "I'm going to Disneyland!"

[darknessatnoon]

realBlink is sure to appear since she disappeared during the last techno-organic crossover.

[darknessatnoon]

Blackest Night is about emotions.

[timbox]

The promo image for Necrosha is really good.

[infernohara]

Well the connection is the dead coming to life. This basic connection is probably what has the wild threads in DC threads.

Eh, you're right/ There is just to little information to judge what would happen during this. I kind of put this out there for people who know more about how Selene does things. Pure speculation thread. Brian, can we suspend thread until November?

[Deus ex Chris]

I see absolutely no connection between the two stories?

Really? I'd say the whole "dead rising to be pains in the ass" connection is quite obvious. Of course, I don't think it really matters. I've yet to be impressed by Blackest Night, but I expect to really enjoy Necrosha--even though the title is horrible. I'm not really a Geoff Johns fan, but Kyle and Yost have consistently engaged and sastisfied me--Messiah War being the exception.

Both stories are about a Big Bad bringing dead folks back to life for a larger purpose. Both stories will explore the psychological implications of how the live heroes will deal with having to fight previously dead partners or allies.
Marvel uses the techno-organic virus to do it.
DC uses Black Lantern rings.
When both stories are over some of the dead may stay resurrected.

See the similarities now ?

Not really. Is it the same sort of idea as Secret Invasion?

[Goshin]

There's a red lantern corps too?

Wow and I thought red hulk was a stupid idea...

[mightiest_mortal]

Either way, as long as Maggott comes out of Necrosha alive again il be happy :biggrin:

Red Hulk is a stupid idea.

[worstblogever]

"The dead rise en masse" is hardly a new concept. Comparing Necrosha to Blackest Night would be like comparing Blackest Night to Marvel Zombies, or "The X-Humed" (http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix2/xhumedshehulk.htm).

More to the point, only the seeds of the story for Necrosha are planted, and other than "the dead rise en masse", there's really nothing in common between the two stories. Even from what we know right now, we can see no differences between the two.

I mean, are people going to start saying that "Dark Reign" is too much like "Lex Luthor as President"? Or "Avengers: The Initiative" is a rip-off of "Checkmate"? Any "Exiles" vs. "Crisis on Infinite Earths"?

Just go ahead and go with:

[infernohara]

I myself was wondering why Selene wouldn't just revive Jean, then have her revive all the other mutants through techno organic means. A much faster way than Caliban licking graves.

Looks tasty! Especially the oranges.

There are never any new ideas in comics. Everything is essentially the same...its all about the execution of an unoriginal idea that makes it cool.

Wasnt Jeans body destroyed completely in Endsong?

[Deus ex Chris]

WBE, you contradicted yourself. First, you say we can see no difference from what we know, which I agree with. Necrosha's premise seems to be basically the same as that of Darkest Night. Of course, you then go on to call them apples and oranges. So which is it?

I'm sure this has probably been said elsewhere already...but Necrosha could be the remedy to decimation.

Great way to bring back old villains and stuff.

Except you could argue that Johns has been planning for this since Green Lantern Rebirth, when Black Hand got his death powers or whatever.

Not that one story is in any way ripping off the other. Neither Johns nor K&Y invented the concept of people coming back from the dead.

If Marvel was really intent on ripping off Blackest Night, they wouldn't relegate to only the second tier X-books.
