Guys I thought it might be worth mentioning. You all might be able to sell your own superhero designs on zazzle.com. I've got a page http://www.zazzle.com/tvcrazyman . I haven't sold anything yet, but I haven't tried in a while. I'm thinking maybe if I can up with the right stuff it might sell. Anybody got any slogans that might work on a T-shirt for any of my characters? And if anybody wants to make their own zazzle account selling stuff with my characters just let me know. All I want is commission if you start making thousands of dollars otherwise make all the stuff you want. Just give me a notice so I can see it.

For Zazzle I know you just have to use your own stuff. Like you can't use Superman because that's copyrighted by DC.

Sounds good for Time-Rider. How about something like the Jack Bauer shirts for Hyde or Deadlaw?

I thought the slogan for Deadlaw was, "The hero that makes his own law" or something like that. I think that's cool enough for a t-shirt.

I forgot about that, but I guess I was thinking more of something humorous like the Chuck Norris Jack Bauer shirts have.

Like these Chuck Norris T-shirts Or these Jack Bauer T-shirts Which I think I just found another possibility for a slogan. The shirt above says, "killing Jack Bauer doesn't make him dead just angry" That could work for Deadlaw. You think?

Yeah, but I don't think you should copy Jack's slogan. You should fool around with it a little and make it your own.

Hmm, now you're asking me think. That's going to cause me a headache.

Killing Matthew Corrie didn't make him dead. It turned him into Deadlaw! __________________ Midnight Avenger Comics

Ok, like it, not sure I want to use the word pissed though. How about ticked?

I was going to write ticked but thought it was too wimpy for Deadlaw. But hey its probably more reader friendly. __________________ Midnight Avenger Comics

How many other words for that are there? Because you know we want to make it perfect if you want it to sell. Here's an idea. Are there any quotes of Deadlaw from your comic books that you really like? Perhaps you could use one of them.

Not so much that comes to my memory, but I guess I can reread everything later and see. Quote: I was going to write ticked but thought it was too wimpy for Deadlaw. True, but I have an ultimate goal of making my characters tough enough for adults but friendly enough for kids. That's where the big bucks are you know stories and characters that translate well to all audiences.

That's where the big bucks are you know stories and characters that translate well to all audiences. Too bad the other comic book writers don't have the same idea. A lot of my favorite comcis from the old days have changed a lot. Now they've got a lot of four-letter words and other adult content that I don't think should be in there.

Well consider the profitability of Spider-man compared to the Punisher. Then compare the last two Punisher movies. From my understanding the last Punisher was far more bloody than the first. I saw the first one but haven't seen the second one. So even comparing Punisher to Punisher there is a line where you start to lose the number of potential customers when you go too far with violence and such. Think about what would happen if Spider-man's next movie was rated R. I'd say you'd have to cut the box office in half. An R movie has to have a lot of hype to get families in. Like say the Matrix.

Yeah I know. When are people going to realize that violence and an R rating do not draw large crowds?!

Another thing I wonder about is when will hollywood learn to make good movies with lower budgets? I'm not an expert but 180 million for any movie seems awfully extreme to me. Think about the kind of effects they put into an average episode of Smallville. That show has been visually as appealing as Superman Returns which cost a ton of money to make. So why not focus on the essential ingredients that make a movie worth seeing for the intended audience and stop with the waste? If it weren't for that kind of waste they could have cranked out 10 Superman films in the last 20 years instead of one, and odds are one of them would have been awesome at least.

All the good movies that I've seen recently were loaded with special effects. Back in the day they had to make good movies without all that stuff. New movies have to rely on technology for their money.

You know I think some of the big movies spend money not just on technology. I bet they waste a lot. They get a big check from the studio and they have fun with it.
