True fax:
1. You can't select Gwenpool as your favorite character when you start up the game. And for the record, I'm kinda miffed she's dabbing in the intro art. She wouldn't do that.
2. [url=https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2017/12/28/16827356/marvel-comics-create-your-own-platform-terms-restrictions]Here's the big long fucking list of shit you can't do that will get your story yanked down.[/url]

One of the things on the no-no list is:

What should I imagine by that?
Puns? Fake news? Lies?
You can't have guns in it? But I want to write my Punisher/Lethal Defender Venom crossover.

I'm more intrigued by the fact that killer bees are on that list.
Though I guess Marvel doesn't want someone trying to remake Amazons Attack...
That is ridiculously strict and I'm sure everyone on the internet will follow their rule to not share images. Good work, Marvel. Expect my non-offensive '90s safety PSA soon.

From the Marvel write-up:
[QUOTE]It’s called Marvel: Create Your Own, and it’s going to be a game changer for fledgling comic creators looking to do their own thing.[/QUOTE]
From the rules:
[QUOTE]We own EVERYTHING YOU DO[/QUOTE]
Sounds like it's only centered at little kids.
create your own comic with none of the things that make a comic a comic
No fun allowed creators
So if someone makes a decent hero and comic, marvel will steal it, monopolise it, and give you nothing.
With those absolutely draconian rules in place you could make a comic about fully covered nuns standing in an empty room doing absolutely nothing and they'd still find a reason to not OK it.
Lol, that list of restrictions looks like it was taken straight from the Comic Code :v:
Ugh, that androgynous character is doing a fucking dab on another preview video's thumbnail.

:cry:
Aw man I wanted to make "Pepsi Man VS Avengers" crossover.
[QUOTE]“Suggestive or revealing images,” including “bare midriffs”[/QUOTE]
I'm not even halfway through the list and by this point this is bullshit.
At least it's a resource of 3d models to rip for use in other things.

didn't these guys make captain america hitler
[QUOTE=Lambeth;53021396]didn't these guys make captain america hitler[/QUOTE]
Yes.
[QUOTE=AaronM202;53021410]Yes.[/QUOTE]
Now I can't make [I]America[/I] Eva Braun. How can I increase help America's sales numbers now, Marvel?

I like how death is listed as something you cannot do.
What if I just resurrect the character in the next book, does that still count?

No, that's just taking away the job of the current writers.

It means you can't put [B]UNSOLICITED OPINIONS ON ISREAL[/B]
