>>78896854

The Marvel way...

>Abuse buzzwords like diversity
>Have some hack like Bendis run most of the line
>Use stupid gimmicks to drive up interest, cancel the series when they stop being profitable, continue with the next gimmick
>Reboot and relaunch comics every 6 months
>EVERYTHING IS BASED ON THE MOVIES
>Characters make references to the movies

>Make reference to reddit memes, and pop culture CONSTANTLY

>Pay comics sites to run articles that shit on the competition
>pay websites to advertise your "Brave and New" Preggo Teen Gwen Stacey Spider-Woman on going

>Let talent gradually bleed out form your company, then use that money in advertising
