It’s been discussed for some time now–either cynically or matter-of-factly, depending upon the source–that with Marvel owned by Disney and DC owned by Time Warner, the American comics industry has become a low-cost proving ground for intellectual properties on their way to becoming movies. For better or for worse, it seems that the time has come for the last stragglers among us to recognize that there’s at least an element of truth to that.In the last two weeks, Marvel has announced that they intend to make a Guardians of the Galaxy movie (which would tie in nicely with the presence of an alien menace in The Avengers); the CEO of 20th Century Fox indicated an interest in a New Mutants movie during an interview with Collider, and Syfy officially added a television show based on Booster Gold to their development slate.
