In the summer, Monch said goodbye to Stan Lee and spent nearly a week at the National Library in Washington, D.C., where he consulted enough information to sketch out the outlines of that event.

And in the whirlpool of this event, several names suddenly jumped onto the stage of history.

They are: Ramazer Toys, Fisher Toys and Longbow Games, which is mainly engaged in table games.

In other words, twenty years ago, the eventual winner of the demise of the three major comic book organizations was the three toy companies.

Today, all three companies, with the exception of Longbow Games, are among the most successful toy companies in the United States.

What has supported them to get to this point, or rather, what they rely on is precisely a large number of comic copyrights.

In the aftermath of that year's events, almost half of the premium comics on the market sold their toy rights to these two companies, and they seized these opportunities to launch a series of excellent toys and quickly seize market share.

It is based on this inference that Meng Qi also understands why they chose to attack the superhero comics at that point in time—to be precise, themselves.

At the beginning, of course, because of the emergence of superhero comics, the traditional American comics were gradually forced into a corner, and the decline of traditional comics inevitably affected the products of Ramazer Toys and Fisher Toys.

The reason is very simple, even the fans who pay attention to traditional American comics are getting fewer and fewer, how many people will buy the toys designed and made from this?

Then there is the appearance of the Rubik's Cube and the soldiers.

These two toys brought by Frank Miller have had a shocking impact on the U.S. federal toy market, especially the small square with magical power, which has almost swept the country and even the world like a tsunami.

For Ramazer Toys and Fisher Toys, the sales volume of the Rubik's Cube in two or three months alone can be as low as the combined marketing volume of their two companies in one year.

How can this not make them panic?

Not only them, but it can be said that all toy manufacturers in the world are like great enemies of the Rubik's Cube.

In a way, in fact, Ramazer and Fisher-Price Toys, and even Longbow Games, can take advantage of the superhero trend to expand their business scope.

After all, in the entire American Federation, in addition to Frank Miller and AC Comics, there are many comic companies that produce superheroes, although the characters they design are not as good as Superman and Batman, but they have excellent ideas, and if they are through excellent publicity and marketing, they will not be caught off guard by the Rubik's Cube.

However, to Meng Qi's puzzlement, these three companies have invariably chosen to stay away from superhero comics......

Of course, the reason behind this is not something that Meng Qi can deduce from the information he has, and he doesn't need to settle it down.

The key now is that since they have started the war, they must be prepared to withstand the attack.

Meng Qi chose and the products that Tang Mingjia brought over this time were the first sharp blades that Meng Qi offered to them.

And in order to make this blade more hidden, Meng Qi had to use something else to attract their attention, and then take advantage of the time difference...... A stab in their hearts.

…………

…………

The first thing, of course, is the lawsuit filed by AC Comics against Blade Comics.

In fact, there are three companies such as Black Knight Comics, which have lost a mess, and this lawsuit is not favored by the outside world, because no matter what point of view, superhero comics are already at the end of the road and have no chance of winning.

Therefore, Meng Qi must stir up this matter and let the enemies know that this time there will be more or less trouble......

Meng Qi showed a recording, and after arrangement, this conversation about Santa Fe's underage drug trafficking quickly spread wildly on the Internet.

In the recording, there is a conversation between two men.

"What do you think about that Santa Fe?" was a somewhat hoarse man's voice.

"You mean Jesse Pinkerman?"

The sound that followed was a bit shrill and thin.

If anyone still has an impression of the CW News Channel news story that shocked the nation in June, they should recall the name "Jesse Pinkerman."

It's hard not to think about it.

"That's right. ”

"An ordinary drug dealer, what, what's wrong with this?" asked a shrill voice.

"Of course there is no problem...... And that's exactly the problem......"

"Damn, what the hell are you talking about, I don't understand ...... at all"

"I mean, somebody wants to make a fuss about that...... You know who I'm talking about......" The hoarse voice was a little vague.

The shrill voice was silent for a moment, then asked, "Does he want us to fake news again?"

"Don't do that, it's not the first time we've done this......"

"So who does he want to deal with this time?"

"Superhero comics, or Frank Miller...... He has already arranged everything, we just need to implement it as planned......"

"Damn it......" cursed in a shrill voice, "If the CW higher-ups know, our lives will be over......"

"...... they won't know"

The recording stops at this point, but the amount of information revealed in it is already very large.

First of all, the two interlocutors are from the CW News Channel, and although they are not considered high-level, they can at least influence the content of a piece of news.

In this way, in fact, it can also explain why the CW news in June was so long and there were so many strange shots, but of course everyone was attracted by the attention of underage drug trafficking and ignored this.

Secondly, and most importantly, the origin of the superhero comic boycott was actually artificially created!

It's a bit crazy and unbelievable, and it's a slap in the face of all the opponents of superhero comics...... So much so that many people began to question the authenticity of this recording.

Then, Meng Qi didn't care about the questioning voices of the outside world, his original intention was not to make them believe, but to make those behind-the-scenes messengers nervous and confused.

Of course, Meng Qi can guarantee that this recording is completely true, after all, it is something that the Huala brothers took out through some shady channels, and there is no possibility of falsification.

It's just that when he got this recording, he still sighed helplessly, because at that time, "Seduction of the Innocent" had been published, and the superhero comic boycott was in full swing......

At that time, releasing the recording would of course have a certain effect, but it could not cause the greatest damage to his enemies, so Meng Qi chose to forbear.

However, having said that, if the Huala Brothers had fully trusted Meng Qi from the beginning and got this recording when the CW news first came out, I'm afraid there wouldn't have been so many things in the future, right?

…………

…………

The second thing is that Meng Qi found someone to post on the Internet the incident that caused the demise of the three major comic organizations twenty years ago.

In this post, he showed the reports of various media at that time, outlined the outline of the original incident, and he finally came to the conclusion:

"According to the report of the year, the time when the three major comic organizations turned against each other was when Ramazer Toys, Fisher Toys and Longbow Games contacted the comic company, and we don't know what happened now, but one thing is certain, that is, in that incident, none of the comic companies profited, and it was these three toy companies that got the most benefits in the end......"

"So, can we come to the guess that these three toy companies are leading this incident in order to win greater profits, in order to obtain more adaptation rights...... After all, after this incident, most of the comic book companies sold the adaptation rights to them......"

"If that's the case, then the truth of that incident is really chilling......"

A standard conspiracy theory post without any direct evidence, just linking some information and then speculating.

Obviously, such a post is not at all explosive compared to the recording, but in the eyes of the sergeant major gentlemen, it is even worse and more frustrating for him.

Because, that means, Frank Miller has found him out of the darkness!
