I renamed the "recommended reading" section to "Notable Wildstorm Publications", as recommending reading appears to be less NPOV than the new title.

[edit] Official start of DC's ownership of Wildstorm?

The article says 1999, but I started getting paid by DC in October of 1998. I worked at Wildstorm from 1992 to late 1999. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tighelander (talk • contribs) 06:32, 4 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Merges

A bit complicated knowing where to put this as there are no suggested directions. It is a tricky one. This entry is for the publishing company and I'd avoid merging too much into it. What I suspect we need is a Wildstorm Universe (probably move WorldStorm to that entry and throw in the Earth-50 info if it isn't speculation) entry which holds the information about the Wildstorm titles in that specific universe. Tagging it as Earth-50 or whatever name they decide on this week seems unwise. We can then have informaiton on the fictional universe (a bit like the DC Universe (not all of DC's titles are in that universe so it makes sense to have it separate) and we can then include the WorldStorm reboot and add in a list of titles within that Universe. Thoughts? (Emperor 00:16, 12 May 2007 (UTC))

It sounds perfect to me. This is it. —Lesfer ^(t/c/@) 04:32, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Agree with the idea of a merge. It makes it easier for new readers to understand the new DC multiverse.

Moved merge notice to appropriate section. Nobody wants to merge this entire article into "Wildstorm universe". --Pc13 08:12, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

OK there seems to be a consensus on this. I'll give it a day or so for people to get their comments in and, if there are no objections, will then get WorldStorm moved to form the basis of Wildstorm Universe. (Emperor 15:10, 11 June 2007 (UTC))

Steve Block has agreed to do the trickery needed to shuffle the bits together. What I have done is prepared a "wrapper" to go around the various bits to hold them together (although WorldStorm will be moved to form the core of the new entry). You can see it here: User:Emperor/Sandbox/Wildstorm Universe. (Emperor 19:11, 11 June 2007 (UTC))

Steve has gone ahead and sorted it out. Check through to make sure everything is working OK and consistent, but it is looking solid so far. (Emperor 22:10, 11 June 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Creator owned?

Are Wildstorm characters/comics creator owned? Just wondering. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.134.162.57 (talk) 22:17, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
