Seems like a good title that could be implemented into both DC and Marvel comic stories as subplots to the main storyarc

You might be right, though what if Marvel and DC are looking for fresh stories, Marvel have placed their attention to promoting Galaxy of the Guardians, which is lesser known in the Marvel universe to fans and Marvel are boosting their appeal and their stories to further enhance the Guardians of the Galaxy universe and the Avengers universe. Once Avengers' cinematic universe looses its target market's attention which Marvel seem to be prepared for, as Marvel has made it a big deal that they are completing against DC: this seems like one of Marvel's marketing strategies that DC are using as well, to keep the attention of fans and the target audience of the comic cinematic universe. So its not far off to think that either Marvel or DC would take the opportunity to integrate independent comic titles into the main stream comic universe. I think that it would be good for both Marvel and DC to not just rely on this strategy too much as the fan's realization might be a push factor for both the comic and cinematic universe of both major publishing companies: resulting in bad publicity and reduction in income and sales. What do you mean by random dog protectors? do you mean lesser known main characters from weak of failed titles, becoming boosted in appeal to aid Marvel's and DC's recognition? I think that fans would go buy the comics: collectors might do from being fans or noticing the current and growing value of the merchandise and really at the most of it, the merchandise don't have to be bought: if the above strategy is being used in silence, which is most likely how the Avengers movies were planned and made and how the Justice League movies will be made, then the actors, actresses and production crew will be using the merchandise materials: comics and past footage, and even including toys in such of the first Fantastic Four movie. The profits will come from the sales of tickets and related merchandise issued by Disney/Marvel and Warner Brothers after the release of the movies or even before. Buying Batman merchandise will help boost inspired indirect DC sales or direct DC sales, however should never be relied on. Your Librarian example could be an interlude to the climatic points of the main plot of the movie or series. And the strategies wouldn't be making money if Marvel or DC haven't tried it yet @renchamp:
