Sorry for the late reply. Been on a trip and just got back last night.

To be clear: Marvel didn't buy out CrossGen, Disney did. Marvel got to use the CrossGen stuff after they were also bought by Disney. If Disney sold Marvel, they wouldn't necessarily be selling the CrossGen stuff. I'm all for covering CrossGen like we do Malibu, but let's make sure we know this before someone else points it out in a "gotcha" way.

And as for the "interaction" bit...I'd rephrase that quite a bit. Just because a character interacts with a Marvel character doesn't mean we should be covering them. Keep in mind, Spider-Man's damned near everybody, from Superman to a slew of Transformers (both in the 80s and the 00s) to the SNL cast of the 70s to whoever else I'm forgetting. While I know that wasn't your intent, by phrasing it like you did, it makes it seem like you're being more inclusive than we generally like to be.

And we should probably add something to cover characters incorporated into the Marvel Universe and how they're handled. Marvelman, Angela, and Conan all come to mind as differing examples of the same idea.
