A while back, I contacted a couple members of this site to tell them about Marvel Unlimited, a comic book service operated by Marvel Comics akin to Netflix: pay a monthly (or annual) fee and have unlimited access to their comic book, store, and movie catalog. As I easily spend $30 every couple months on graphic novels, paying under $9 a month was a lot cheaper, so it made sense. Anywho...

I've been reading an extreme amount of comics lately. Catching up on characters, reading expansive story arcs I've missed out on, tracking those comics that were part of a main story but not (Continued in Infinity Gauntlet #3... but see what happens in ASM #218, WCA #394, and Sleepwalker #14!). In all this, I have been privy to the destruction of the known universe on multiple occasions, the destruction of the multiverse a few times, and the emergence of something new more than once. It is somewhere in all this and between issues of What If that I had a brain storm:

Remember when the multiverse was nearing an end, and it was revealed that there were two great cosmic beings that were above everything... cosmic brothers that held the combined might of Marvel and DC? They merged in what was part of the All Access story, eventually combining into the Amalgam Universe, where characters were unions of both Marvel and DC (Dark Claw, a combo of Wolverine and Batman as an example, or Storm and Wonder Woman forming Amazon). Now with that, take the works of... I forget the creator, but the series Astro City. Here was a concept where the writer took all the known characters and boiled them down to their archetypes, and created new characters.

Taking those two comic book creations or stories or whatever, I developed the notion of making a comic book universe. I know, I know, I've already done that (for those who may stumble upon this in the future, my universal idea was based on magic and the workings of lovecraft, set in the real world). I want to craft a super hero universe, combining elements from Marvel and DC / boiled down to archetypes but still recognizable. Additionally, under the allowances of fan fiction, I want to incorporate a couple established characters as well.

My premise is this: the very first opening issue will show the Watcher giving his standard what if speech with the universe creating event being the destruction of a planet which a scientifically advanced alien race inhabited (*cough* Krypton *cough*); the radiation from this planet finally reaching Earth as a group of scientists launched into space (*cough* Fantastic Four *cough*) From there, develop further stories and characters, but using original ideas based off of pre-existing ones. If that makes sense.
