What If… Michael Jackson Had Bought Marvel Comics?

Rick Marshall of Splashpage MTV has just reminded me of that plan for Michael Jackson to buy Marvel Comics, himself a long term comic book fan, as part of a bold coup with Stan Lee Media with Stan Lee and Peter Paul on board. Just imagine…

Joe Quesada: ..and then, after all that, Mephisto makes the world forget.

Michael Jackson: This Mephisto… is he the devil?

Joe Quesada: He’s kind of a Marvel Universe substitite character for…

Michael Jackson: Spider-Man would never make a deal with the devil.

Joe Quesada: Well that’s a debatable…

Michael Jackson: But I would. I have certain things I’d like the world to forget.

Joe Quesada: How about we kill you off? Then no one will care.

Micheal Jackson: You will bring me back though won’t you?

Joe Quesada: Of course I will. Eventually.

Michael Jackson: Hee hee! Shamone!

Peter Paul (from under the table): Don’t use Mephisto… use the Clintons! They’re much worse. They can make everyone forget everything!

Michael (whisper): Joe, is it me or is Peter a little bit strange?

Joe (whisper): Can’t it be both?
