@ Drew

I don’t agree. I think the name Spider-Man has an established fanbase. I don’t think you limit the audience by producing a different take on an established franchise.

For example, the Star Trek The Next Generation was hugely successful, while the Original cast was still succeeding in feature films. I don’t think the Next Generation only appealed to a niche market because those characters didn’t have an established fan base.

My only concern with that would be that the Spider-Man that we know has such a huge established fan base, both in the geek community and out, while 2099 would be much more of a niche audience. That’s a huge key to the success of a comic franchise like this.

Sounds great, I’m down. As long as they don’t make a Punisher 2099.

I see what you mean and agree that it would be very interesting. After a while, the excessive baggage of a character’s mythology start to drag a franchise down. The little Ive heard about the third installment makes me think this one may not be as good as the others. Anyway, my sense is that no one will want to mess with the franchise until they run it into the ground first.

How about a reimagined x files? Erase the board and start all over again.
