Today we are digging deep and giving you an untold tale of comic book history, and it's a big one.

Did DC Comics ask Marvel to take over their publishing

in the mid-80s? Were you about to get Marvel's Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Justice League?

Was John Byrne actually about to do Superman for Marvel two years prior to him doing Superman with DC Comics.

I'm going to share the stories with you from the people who were on the scene, who were there, who were about to make these deals.

We're going to discuss all of this and even more on a bonus edition of Rob'servations.

Hey, everybody, welcome to another edition of Rob Observations.

I am your host, Rob Leifeld.

We hear at Rob Observations.

We obsess over comic books and superheroes and movies based on

superheroes and comic books and streaming shows, television shows, video games, toys,

even even lunchboxes. We've talked about lunchboxes and Saturday morning cartoons and

merchandise, all of it. We cover it here. We have for the

better part of three years now. I am so thrilled to be able to talk comics, superheroes, and how

they have blown up over my lifetime with you. And they continue to get bigger. I mean, the box

office sheen may have come off some of the bigger, bigger films of the last several years

in the wake of wrapping everything up very tidy as they did with endgame. But there's never

been more of them. I mean, even in what we call it down year for superhero comics, comic

movies, you're getting so many of them you're getting like in some

cases it's like hey you want even more mediocrity we got it right here obviously they don't all

hit it out of the park actually very few ever have but the ones that are great are great just like

not all mafia movies and not all westerns and not all rom-coms
