Ok, I have to ask this. My husband is a comic geek.

My husband is an avid collector of comic books, he has been for years. I almost convinced him a few years ago to give it up as we had far too many books in the apartment. He sold off a lot of what he had, but kept quite a few of what he wanted to keep. Of course, he kept the most valuable books in his collection, even though we sacrificed many of the Amazing Spiderman books. He's built up quite a collection yet again, and we're looking at getting a limited edition book graded, it could value at up to $600 once graded. We're hoping to get to the convention next weekend in order to do a walk thru grading session and get the book back immediately. I am sure that this book will instill a bidding war on eBay, it's one of only 7500 printed, and if it's in the grade range that I think it is, the war could reach upwards of $1,000+. Last night we got to talking about crossovers, something that's not new to the comic industry, but he was thinking about something else that had been tried in the past. He thinks that Marvel and DC should merge, and that characters should cross over to the opposite side. This was done years ago, but it was only a mini series that lasted 4 issues. Makes you wonder why. I don't think this would work, but he does, and thinks it would make a lot of money for these creators. I told him that I'd ask around and see what opinions I'd get, and then I asked him which company he'd approach first with this idea. He told me both of them, but I said that one of them had to get it first, not both at the same time. I said that they are competitors, there's no way competitors would team up and work together. I then told him that it's like a person who likes Pepsi. They are not suddenly going to change brands. Anyways, I just thought I'd get some opinions about this.
