Lawsuit Wars! Arise, Royalties, Arise! Origins

[whatbombsatmidnite]

What better way to draw you into a series than with an over the top, high stakes mini series event? It's worked on me again and again.

Secret Wars was the comic-inspired toy line my Spider-Man figure was from.
Arise, Serpentor, Arise got me into G.I.Joe.
Maximum Carnage got me into comics.
Green With Evil had got me into Power Rangers. [shudders]

Disney even launched all their cartoon series with 5 part pilots:
DuckTales
Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers
Talespin
Darkwing Duck

X-Men Comics were actually solidified by their events:
Dark Phoenix Saga
Mutant Massacre
Fall of the Mutants
Inferno
X-Tinction Agenda
X-Cutuioner's Song
Fatal Attractions
Operation: Zero Tolerance


So is it any wonder why Lawsuit Wars! was so fun to write?
