Explanation of Malibu Comics / Marvel Comics Acquisition by Marvel Comics As sales declined industry-wide in the mid-1990s, Malibu canceled lower-selling series.[21] But their biggest problem was their game division, started in an attempt to break into the video game market, which cost them more than $200,000 a month.[22] Nonetheless, the company's assets were still seen as attractive enough to garner interest from DC Comics in the spring of 1994.[23] In addition, Rosenberg and Malibu signed with the William Morris Agency.[24] The company was purchased by Marvel Comics on November 3, 1994.[25][26][27][28][29] In the middle of the next year, Malibu standard-bearers Mason and Ulm left the company.[30] Because Malibu had sufficient market share that an acquisition from DC would make the latter surpass Marvel's market share, Marvel decided to purchase Malibu themselves to prevent this from happening. To slow down rumors that Ultraverse titles would be cancelled as soon as the deal closed, Malibu claimed that Marvel wanted them because of their digital coloring system.[31] Marvel eventually canceled the entire Ultraverse line, but (during the Black September event)[20] re-launched a handful of the more popular titles as well as a number of crossovers with Marvel characters. The "volume 2" series each started with "#∞ (infinity)" issues and were canceled a short time later. Very little Malibu content was published after 1996. Within the Marvel Comics multiverse, the Genesis Universe is designated as Earth-1136 and the Ultraverse as Earth-93060.[32] Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
