Titles from Marvel you'd like to see?

[Harlekin]

While getting titles like Arãna, Amazing Fantasy, X-23 etc. what are some of the titles you'd actually like to see?

Carrying over from that other thread, I'd probably like a Luke Cage, Iron Fist title or Heroes for Hire. Not something slated for cancellation like that latest Iron Fist title, but old-school comics.

I'd like to see the return of Agent-X or some kind of Taskmaster title, although only written by Gail Simone of course. A good funny book again, like we used to have with Deadpool->Agent-X.

[Darthphere]

Good titles. :D

Seriously,
Thor
Moon Knight
Ghost Rider
A good Namor title
A good Invaders title
Defenders-theres a mini on the way
Silver Surfer

[fifthfiend]

Personally I wish they'd bring back Darkhawk.

Probably just me, though.

[roach]

MoonKnight
Quasar
Wonderman

[Harlekin]

MoonKnight
Quasar
Wonderman
That reminds me that a Wonderman/Beast mini would be pretty cool too.

[CaptainStacy]

You know, for years, ever since the first Daily Bugle mini series, i had been clammoring for a book like The Pulse, so i was totally floored when THAT happened...

Right now, i'd like a "World's Finest" type book with Spider-Man/Daredevil, or Spider-Man/Human Torch...Instead of throwing Mark Waid on yet another generic Spidey book, why not let him write something more unusual like that?

I'd also like to see the return of Marvel's monsters, such as Ghost Rider, Morbius, and Werewolf By Night...i mean; Marvel has a MAX imprint...why not put it to good use?

[Harlekin]

There is a Spidey/Torch mini set for March or February, so you might like that. I've been thinking about what a Daredevil/Punisher serie would be like though. A Spidey/Torch ongoing by Waid would be cool though.

[CaptainStacy]

Oh, yeah, Harlekin....i recently re-read the first couple issues of the original MTU, and it was ALL Spidey/Torch....great stuff!

I'd like a Spidey/DD that has them locked in battle with all of Marvel's crime lords and Enforcers (Hammerhead, Silvermane, Owl, Tombstone, etc.), with the streets of New York City going to the victor. That'd be cool, imo...

DD/Punisher sounds interesting too.

[dk]

Marvel should be doing monster books through MAX or Marvel Knights, IMO. MAX is a joke. So far, the only purpose it serves is to offer superhero books with swearing and boobies - like Punisher and Supreme Power. Yeah, those comics are good, but it's obvious Marvel isn't pushing any boundaries with what they could publish through MAX.

If MAX is truly supposed to be an answer to Vertigo, then how about some adult re-interpretations of various genre books? A good RAWHIDE KID series, for example. HOWARD THE DUCK, MILLIE THE MODEL, HOWLING COMMANDOS, LIVING MUMMY, KA-ZAR THE SAVAGE, WEIRDWORLD, STAR LORD, DOMINIC FORTUNE, SEEKER 3000 - you could take these concepts all day and give them a Vertigo-esque twist. A little bit of intelligence and sophistication beyond gratuitious nudity and profanity.

It'd be cool to perhaps combine that. Castle is looking to kill of a few gangs in this big gang war while Spidey and DD have to try and stop Castle, try and stop Castle from getting killed, stop the gang war and save civilians.

Just an issue with Spidey/DD back to back against impossible odds would be cool too though.

[CaptainStacy]

CaptainStacy & Harlekin: Separated at birth?

All that sounds good to ME. Especially your Max ideas. (so rare to see someone mention characters like The Living Mummy anymore...you must be about my age)....now all we have to do is convince Joey Q!

[Harlekin]

The MAX ideas are from dk. So I don't know if you're agreeing with the both of us, or just him and that you accidently put my name in there.

[CaptainStacy]

Both. Good ideas from all.

[Union Jack]

i'd like to see...
captain britain:the return of brian braddock
a new xcalibur line up including cap,nightcrawler,psylocke,colossus,shadowcat...
a great invaders title with art by bagley!!
a union jack title(a long shot,but i would like it!!)
i'd also like to see cyclops with a solo title.

[Harlekin]

Thanks for clearing that up Cap'n.

Anyways, dk's Howling Commandos gave me an idea. NICK FURY AND S.H.I.E.L.D. could probably be an awesome title again if done right.

[Anubis]

I'd like to see a Max book about the brotherhood. Not the guys that dress in silly costumes and fight the X-Men, but the individual cells that exsist all over the MU. Or just focus on one particular Cell. Create some new characters and follow them on their terrorist actions. I think there was a book like this some time ago, but I never read it, only heard about it. I think it would be a very interesting read.

I'd also like to see a book about just everyday Mutants. Simple one shot stories about people getting their powers. Or Mutants trying to live in everyday society. Maybe have states outlawing mutant marragies. A Mutant pop star and the problems he/she faces. Or, hell, tons of other stories centering on the plight of mutananity. Do Mutants call each other Mutie? Kinda like how black folks use the N word on each other? I'd love to see the internal polotics of what it means to be a Mutant. To be a ultra minority in this world.

And also I'd like to see a S.H.E.I.L.D. Book. Not just Fury but his whole team and maybe some new characters thrown in.

[Harlekin]

Yeah, there was this Brotherhood title, exactly like what you spoke of. It was written by some mystery writer, and I never quite did bother to pick it up. The idea sounds interesting enough, but not enough to actually buy it IMO.

The everyday mutants thing could be cool though, and there could be some kind of arc like the Brotherhood or a running subplot?

[CaptainStacy]

I hear there's a SHIELD book on tap for 2005.

God, i hope it's good.

[Harlekin]

Probably going to depend a lot on who's writing it.

If I even hear one syllable with an Aus in it... but it'll probably end up being Bendis anyway, might as well start naming it the Bendiverse already. :o

[The Batman]

Blade
Ghost Rider
Luke Cage & Iron Fist
Namor
Silver Surfer(Done by someone who can do Superheroes)

[Anubis]

yeah, that could work. A look at how they recruit new members or something.

You know, thats one of the reasons why I'm not that big of an X-Men fan. At some point it stopped being about Racism and promoting peace between all. Xavier's dream. Then it just turned into a big freakin soap oprea. I bought Ultimate X-Men when it first came out hopeing they would take this route, instead, its pretty much the same. I think a book like this needs to exsist. I don't care if it will never sell becasue Wolverine isn't gonna be in it. If the X-Men isn't gonna be relavent, then something should.

Morrison kind of went the right way by finally opening the school up to the public. Just look at how it ended up for him... :xmen: And he even had Wolverine on his team.

I think it would be cool to have that kinda book. Call it something like 'Meet Joe' or something and I can already see the cover to the first issue with this guy mowing his lawn and than taking a look to the side too his neighbour's lawn, where we see this green-skinned reptile mutant wave back with a goofy grin as he mows his own lawn.

[Anubis]

That would be a cool cover. Set the tone for the book.

[Marcdachamp]

Brian Bendis and Michael Gaydos on Powerman and Iron Fist as a Max title. 'Nuff said.

[Dwarf lord]

A Better MAX line. Don't be afraid to not use your characters. Have people make up there own. Look at 100 Bullets, Y: The Last Man, The Watchmen, Sandman, Fables, and Sleeper. Those are probably some of the best books out or ever and they all are creator owned characters.

[Tokyo Vigilante #1]

MK Title:

Heroes For Hire (Iron Fist and Cage)

Regular MU:

Nova

MAX:

Brother Voodoo

Ghost Rider

[dk]

Brian Bendis and Michael Gaydos on Powerman and Iron Fist as a Max title. 'Nuff said.

Great. More f-ing superheroes with swearing and boobies.

The point is, MAX should be more than hardcore superheroes. All the esoteric genres Marvel has at their disposal but never uses - western, horror, war, sci-fi, romance, satire, etc. That's essentially what Vertigo is for DC, whether it's creator owned stuff like Y: The Last Man or DC stuff like revamps of the Losers and Human Target. Superheroes should generally go no harder-edged than Marvel Knights, IMO. There's really no point in making an R-rated Power Man and Iron Fist book where Luke Cage says, "mutha f-er" every other page. These are mainstream characters. They're expected to interract with the likes of Spider-Man on a regular basis. Ghost Rider is pretty much the same thing - he's a mainstream superhero character when you get down to it.

For the most part, MAX should operate on the fringe of the MU. The bizarre characters, the oddballs. BROTHER VOODOO and NIGHT NURSE before GHOST RIDER and POWER MAN & IRON FIST.

[TheCorpulent1]

Thor is at the top of my list, obviously. Respect the fact that he's a cornerstone of the Marvel universe and just give him his damn title back.

I agree with dk about the MAX line. Supreme Power, as good as it is, is still a superhero book at its core. It's got heaps of realism in it, with the depictions of the government and people's reactions to the super-powered characters, but it's still a superhero book. I would love to see a push to delve more into the mystical and supernatural aspects of the Marvel universe. Witches was a joke and Tomb of Dracula imposes superhero posturing on the horror concept. Get some real horror, western, and supernatural books going. Marvel loves to copy events from DC, why can't they copy something we actually want them to for once, like Hellblazer, Sandman, Fables, and the other Vertigo books?

Id want Quasar, Darkhawk, Taskmaster, and I would like Doom to get his own series.

[Harlekin]

Doom? What's he going to do in his own series then?

[Dwarf lord]

There are books that work like that. A person who rules a country. Marvel would screw it up though.

[Harlekin]

It could work as a miniseries in which Doom tries to retake Latveria and add to his arsenal again.

[Dwarf lord]

Yeah but Marvel would screw it up turning it into something involving Superheroes. Marvel hasn't had a good book that doesn't involve superpowers in a long time.

[DBM]

Personally, rather than a Nick Fury book, I'd like to see a SHIELD book. A SHIELD book, by default, would have Nick Fury in it since he's been in SHIELD for just about all of it's existence. I'd like to see about a dozen main characters with three or four arcs per year, with running subplots that lead into the next arc.

And one SHIELD arc I would especially like to see, considering how Spider-man is becoming more active with other heros now, is one where Peter Parker gains a higher level access to SHIELD files.

Why, you may ask? Two reasons.
1. Because it would get the (apparently) obligatory Spider-Man guest appearance out of the way.
2. It would allow for a "flashback" arc starring Richard and Mary Parker (http://www.samruby.com/Spiderverse/RichardMary/richardmary.htm) as SHIELD agents which I think is a great story waiting to happen. And Peter would be able to know a little more about his parents.

A S.H.I.E.L.D book would own. As long as they get a good writer (Not Bendis) to write it. Joss Whedon got Fury perfect in his book but I don't see him writing comics for a while.

That'd be pretty cool too see. What I would especially like to see at least once on such a book is a 'butterfly story'. A little stand alone that goes from the lower levels of SHIELD to the highest, showing how tuned in SHIELD is too everything.

Bendis writes a good Nick Fury. Better than a lot of writers out there. I'd be OK with him writing it though if he did there wouldn't be enough action in the book for my tastes.

That's a great idea. It's been done before but not for many, many years.

[Dwarf lord]

DMB, do you read JSA?

[Gambit8370]

Okay. I'm old, so these are the titles that I want to see make a comeback...

Super-Villain Team-Up
Marvel Two-In-One
Adventures Into Fear
Creatures On The Loose
Tales Of Suspense
Tales To Astonish
Journey Into Mystery
Marvel Mystery Comics
Amazing Adventures
Sgt. Fury & His Howling Commandos

Just imagine being able to

1) Utilize characters that the general comic-buying public isn't f***ing sick of already

2) Give the older fans who you have ostracized some classic comic nostalgia while
2.1) drawing in new readers to classic characters.

3) Get to use all those great series that Stan & Co. brought to life while using them as a vessel to test new markets.

4) Allow some of the great industry talent you've lassoed to tell some great sci-fi, war tales, horror & adventure stories

5) Have a great excuse to bring back the classic corner boxes and the classic Marvel banner


And HEY JOE! You want to gear some comics to kids? Bring back...

Spidey Super Stories (yeah okay, the Electric Company is long gone, but still)

Fun & Games (Kids LOVE to color and play Marvel connect the dots. Most of the young kids I know have Marvel coloring books, why not give them a monthly comic?)



Hm.

(scratches head)

Why is it that I'm sitting here working for FREE coming up with better ideas than the people on your goddamn payroll???

[DBM]

DMB, do you read JSA?

Yep.

And it's DBM.

[Dwarf lord]

Sorry. And yeah, that's pretty much what your looking for in a S.H.I.E.L.D book. Lots of subplots and a huge team.

[DBM]

Sorry. And yeah, that's pretty much what your looking for in a S.H.I.E.L.D book. Lots of subplots and a huge team.

Yeah, pretty similar, but without the superpowers.

I'd like to see SHIELD go back towards the spy game as well. They've become a little to military lately, in my opinion. Secret War is doing a good job of showing SHIELD as spies, but FF and AXM have both recently shown them as more militaristic. I think SHIELD always worked best when it couldn't quite keep up with everything that was going on. It kept the pace frantic but not disorganized.

[Dwarf lord]

As long as they have one of those Superships. I love those.

[screech_turbo]

here's my list:

generation x (bring back skin and synch)

marvel comics presents (three stories for the price of one. why not?)

marvel fanfare (same thing as mcp, but with pin ups)

silver surfer

the real amazing fantasy (no superheroes, just sci-fi, mystery, etc)

the real avengers (bring everybody back and retcon the whole "disassembled" fiasco)

just my opinion, peace. :thing: :wolverine :hulk:

[CaptainStacy]

The new Fury book, according to Wizard is entitled;

Nick Fury: Peacemaker

Scheduled for a September release.

Stay tuned....

[DBM]

The new Fury book, according to Wizard is entitled;

Nick Fury: Peaceaker

Scheduled for a September release.

Stay tuned....

Is that supposed to be "Peacekeeper"? :confused:

[Harlekin]

Stay tuned....
Peaceaker? You mean Peacemaker?

You just know somebody's going to make a pacemaker joke out of that.

[Darthphere]

September?!! Thats way too long off. I guess ill go and read my Steranko issue over and over again.

[CaptainStacy]

Nope. It says Peacemaker.

Athough at Nick's age, maybe it should say PACEmaker, lol. (didn't want to disappoint ya, Harlekin)

[Harlekin]

Nope. It says Peacemaker.

Athough at Nick's age, maybe it should say PACEmaker, lol. (didn't want to disappoint ya, Harlekin)
At least we got that out of the way. But they're already scheduling this for September next year. I have to say that's quite an early solicit.

[Darthphere]

Yeah really, theyve been doing a lot of that lately though. Like Black Panther was announced last month for Febuary, not as early but still. Maybe theyre trying to start hype around the comic.

[Harlekin]

I could understand them hyping up BP early on, seeing as what happened last time. September is like 9 months to go.

[Darthphere]

Yeah, the probably just have the title and thats it. They probably dont even have a team together or anything.

[Harlekin]

Yeah, the probably just have the title and thats it. They probably dont even have a team together or anything.
A real wait and see then. Eh, it keeps up a bit of mystery on what new titles are going to be... right?

[venom892]

we need....

Moon Knight written by Dan Slott.
Heroes for Hire{Luke Cage and Iron fist with rotating members}
Shang Chi
Ghost Rider
Dr.Strange Ongoing{What we have right now is a Mini.}

[CaptainStacy]

I'd support a Dr.Strange ongoing, but not at $3.50 a pop....they're going to have to lower the price a bit...

[Ben Urich]

A decent Elektra ongoing would be nice.
I'd like to see a MAX take on Man-Thing. He's cool. The MK mini recently was actually pretty good, but come on, I've never been exposed to a true horror comic. Come on.
Please :(

[stiltman]

Titles I'd like to see:

A Thing solo book. My favorite member of the FF, and he's worked well solo before in MTIO and assorted series and minis over the years. Comics are seriously lacking in quality beat 'em ups anymore, so why not do something like that with him in it again.:thing:

Moon Knight would be cool, but how many people here actually liked Moon Knight before? Was never that popular a character, and past attempts at this guy have all met the same fate. He does look cool, though, and that alone warrents a title in my book. Loved the first series back in the early 80's, late 70's. Good stuff.

I like the current Nightcrawler series going on, and wouldn't mind seeing something like this for Kitty Pryde. My favorite X-Man by far, she's been in some decent minis over the years as well, so that could work for a solo title. Plus, she' smart, can walk through walls, AND has a pet dragon. What's not to like?

I'd love to see a title completely from the villains perspective. And not like Thunderbolts, but real villains, doing villain things. Like Dr. Doom or Red Skull. Or even a book about B-list villains like the Wrecking Crew. In fact, especially a book about B-listers like the Wrecking Crew. What is it that keeps driving these guys? Why do they need to do what they do? And how they keep escaping custody? Really, the Wrecking Crew will show up in like five different books over the course of a year, get soundly thrashed in every one of them, but still come back for more. Or when a villain like Whiplash gets beat by Iron Man, he's sent off to jail. So how does he get out? Where does he find new whips? Why bother with the life-of-crime thing if he's getting bounced every time? And why whips of all things? That sort of thing. Nagging questions that keep me up at night.

Others already mentioned:

Power Man and Iron Fist? Ok, but been tried a bunch of times now too. Their original title was ok at times, brutal at others. Past attempts at re-launching it has met with disappointment once the novelty wears off. Even updating them past their kitchy "blaxploitation meets kung-fu" origins doesn't help much.

Ditto Fury. Always liked Nick Fury, but he's better off as a role character, someone who sets actions into motion. If they wanted to do something more from the SHIELD end of things, that could work. It's kind of hokey watching Fury lead the charge into battle, or do the whole James Bond thing now. Since he's the head of this huge organization, he's not likely to be the one jumping out of planes or leading a covert missions himself. Introduce some new characters, have Fury be the one giving them orders, but otherwise keep him on the sidelines. Like others here, SHIELD interests me more than Fury alone.

[3dman27]

i think fury was reduced in rank after he'd faked his death to avoid an assasination attempt and decided to stay at the lower rank the moon knight and thing solo books sound like a good idea to me

[Unthinkable]

I miss the early 90's... Not because of the holographic covers or whatever... Its because they were, 3, 4, maybe as high as 5 cosmic titles a month.

I'm down with your guy's MAX ideas, in fact, I REALLY want a Two-Gun Kid mini, he was the man. But honestly, I think I like cosmic stories more. Which is why the Quasar series was so freaking great. I bought that whole run, and it doesn't dissapoint. What intrigued me the most were the Elders. I would love to see a book that covers a rotating cast of Elders. Also, Silver Surfer was great, and we REALLY need to see more Genis. I mean, the guy wreaks havoc across the galaxy, blows it up, etc. and we don't even see the Silver Surfer? The guy is the son of arguably the greatest and most noble hero of all time, and we don't hear from the Avengers? I think there should be a Marvel Presents.... Following Silver Surfer, with a rotating cast of supporting characters, ala Captain Marvel, Drax, Quasar, and others. Or at least we should be up to 3 or 4 cosmic titles a month. There is just too much potential for greatness.

Also, a VERY cool concept would to follow the Captain Britain corp. ala the stories Alan Moore used to do that follow random characters of the Green Lantern corp., I remember my favorite one was the one that introduced Mogo, the planet that is a member of the Green Lantern Corp. So to follow random members of the Captain Britain Corp would be great, there are some really cool members. For example Captain Air-Strip One, of George Orwell's 1984 universe, A C.B where the Nazi's won, a C.B where the French took over Britian... To have Geoff Johns, or better yet to bring Alan Moore into that kind of book would be AMAZING.

[CombatRock319]

uh yes moon knight has so much potential, i would like more AoA (what about like AoA for everyone else in the MU!?!?! like FF, avengers and spidey?!?!) and dont forget a beast line...hehe im so biased

[Zoken]

an ongoing GLA/GLX title is something I'd love.

Excelsior title would be nice.

I'm a fan of What if's so maybe more of them.

[TheCorpulent1]

I mentioned this on another thread like this that popped up a while ago, but what the heck, I'll say it again. I'd love to see Marvel take advantage of their rich magic side and put out a book that unites some of their magic heavy-hitters on one team. None of Marvel's great magic characters have solo books at the moment, so it'd be a great opportunity to put them together in one place. Dr. Strange, Ghost Rider, Blade, the Black Knight, maybe Satanna and the other Witches (despite the fact that that mini sucked), Hellstorm, etc. fighting hardcore mystical threats like legions of vampires, Blackheart or Mephisto, and others.

I've even got a good idea for the first arc: Thor destroyed Asgard in his Disassembled arc, but what if he didn't get it all? What if portions of the Asgard landmass survived and the rest of Asgard's destruction created rifts between its dimension and Earth's? Trolls, giants, sorcerers, et al. come through, madness ensues, and these magic-inspired heroes are united by Dr. Strange to combat them. After that, they decide that staying together would make sense (have Doc Strange write the Defenders off as losers or something ;)) and the series goes from there.

[deemar325]

Personally I wish they'd bring back Darkhawk.

Probably just me, though.


Your not alone.:up:

[Zoken]

I had a god based idea... but I'm not sure if t would work in Marvel Continuity.

Gods from an alien world, one that is now dead, want to come to earth, but they need a good following to do so. so the Godhead contacts a single human, pretty much randomly, and makes a deal. he gives the human a bracelet that makes him his avatar, granting him the power to shapeshift himself and anything he sees into anything he can imagine (Guy's a comic book artist). our Avatar holds up his end of the bargain, which is to convert over 500 people, not difficult with the power given by the bracelet. and the Gods are able to manifest in our realm.

Then he finds out why their world was dead. they told him that the people were war-like and genocidal and had bombed themselves into extinction, basically. the truth is that the technology of the race was advancing so fast that the Gods feared they would destroy them, and thusly struck first. it was the gods who were war-like and violent. meaning that this Avatar unleashed 76 alien gods onto our planet. he quickly realizes his mistake, and sets out correcting things. he actually manages to kill 10 of these alien gods before it becomes too difficult, and before he realizes his grand mistake. the bracelet that gives him his power also links him to the Godhead. if he kills or banishes the Godhead, The Avatar goes with him. so he sets out to make allies, the only allies he could imagine able to properly fight a god: other gods. he sets out a call for all gods to descend from their realms, but they tell him that full gods can't emerge into our realm except in special cases such as thor... but demi-gods can. also, there are gods that have remained on earth: The Japanese Kami.

[deemar325]

Luke and Danny convince Jessica,Misty and Coleen that they should move to Miami and start a new Agency, Misty and Coleen would still run their Bailbonds/BountyHunter business but share their offices with Danny and Luke. They see an oppurntunity to expand since more and more costumed villians are moving out of New York.

Jessica is not thrilled with the idea, but figured it would be safer than NY, and Tony Stark equips Luke and Jessica's home with stated-of-the Art security, while Luke and Danny gets both Dr.Strange and Brother VooDoo to not only bless there home, but cast protection spells for the baby.

Shang-Chi is offered a spot on the team, he and Danny become fast friends and hang-out buddies since Luke is a family man. Cloak and Dagger are brought in by Luke simply ,because Luke likes Cloak and wants to be a mentor/older brother to him and Dagger also he sees it as an oppurntunity for Cloak and Dagger to make a living and add some normalcy to there young lives (Luke convinces Cloak to lighten-up and stop acting like the 'Phantom of the Opera' so much.)

Note:Luke in my mind is trying to build a sense of family, as well as a support system and protection for Jessica and the baby. His goal is for them to be financially secure/safe, and even bring Cloak and Dagger out of the 'rag a muffin' life they have been living ( and quite honestly I'm tired of Cloak&Dagger being portrayed as homeless losers, they gotta grow up some time.)

Brother VooDoo will be a key character, as well as protector(surrogate Grandfather to the baby.) and will bond with Cloak and help him master his powers. Misty and Danny will start to reconcile, while Shang and Coleen will have a 'Love/Hate,screw around relationship.

Note: Shang-chi has been written as a Bruce Lee knock-off for years, no longer. My take is to show him as more relaxed and even a stud with the ladies. This is a guy who has been a spy and world traveler, time to lose the 'warrior monk' tag, he'll dress in tailored suits and lose the bowl cut and basically be a sauver,cooler Shang-Chi.

I had a god based idea... but I'm not sure if t would work in Marvel Continuity.

Gods from an alien world, one that is now dead, want to come to earth, but they need a good following to do so. so the Godhead contacts a single human, pretty much randomly, and makes a deal. he gives the human a bracelet that makes him his avatar, granting him the power to shapeshift himself and anything he sees into anything he can imagine (Guy's a comic book artist). our Avatar holds up his end of the bargain, which is to convert over 500 people, not difficult with the power given by the bracelet. and the Gods are able to manifest in our realm.

Then he finds out why their world was dead. they told him that the people were war-like and genocidal and had bombed themselves into extinction, basically. the truth is that the technology of the race was advancing so fast that the Gods feared they would destroy them, and thusly struck first. it was the gods who were war-like and violent. meaning that this Avatar unleashed 76 alien gods onto our planet. he quickly realizes his mistake, and sets out correcting things. he actually manages to kill 10 of these alien gods before it becomes too difficult, and before he realizes his grand mistake. the bracelet that gives him his power also links him to the Godhead. if he kills or banishes the Godhead, The Avatar goes with him. so he sets out to make allies, the only allies he could imagine able to properly fight a god: other gods. he sets out a call for all gods to descend from their realms, but they tell him that full gods can't emerge into our realm except in special cases such as thor... but demi-gods can. also, there are gods that have remained on earth: The Japanese Kami.
That's actually a pretty cool story idea. I don't think it'd work too well within the Marvel universe, but set in its own universe without thousands of other heroes to muck up the works, I think it could be interesting.

[Zoken]

thousands of other characters?

for some reason, I'm depressed to say: no problem.

[deemar325]

I guess nobody liked my idea.:(

[Zoken]

Honest opinion Deemar?

I can't see Luke doing that. he's got a solid gig with the NA now, and I think Jessica would prefer him stick with the big boys than strike out with, what even she has to consider, are some minor leaguers.

I also don't see Shang-Chi taking the Tony Stark approach. I think it would be funny to watch him have this almost Zen attitude going on in a place where Zen is anything but the standard. the catch being that he isn't really as at peace as he looks. he is torn up inside about his family, and about his role regarding his father.

Cloak and Dagger won't come. They have this whole attitude that its the two of them against the world, which is only going to be more enforced because of Cloak's experiences with the NA during their guest shot in the Runaways. also in the first issue of that, Cloak pleads to Luke who shows him no sympathy. I doubt very much that their lifestyle would work out. plus Dagger trusts no one but Cloak.

Now, this is just my impressions. I have read none of their independant titles, so I reserve the right to be as wrong as a 27 dollar bill

[Dread]

I mentioned this on another thread like this that popped up a while ago, but what the heck, I'll say it again. I'd love to see Marvel take advantage of their rich magic side and put out a book that unites some of their magic heavy-hitters on one team. None of Marvel's great magic characters have solo books at the moment, so it'd be a great opportunity to put them together in one place. Dr. Strange, Ghost Rider, Blade, the Black Knight, maybe Satanna and the other Witches (despite the fact that that mini sucked), Hellstorm, etc. fighting hardcore mystical threats like legions of vampires, Blackheart or Mephisto, and others.

I've even got a good idea for the first arc: Thor destroyed Asgard in his Disassembled arc, but what if he didn't get it all? What if portions of the Asgard landmass survived and the rest of Asgard's destruction created rifts between its dimension and Earth's? Trolls, giants, sorcerers, et al. come through, madness ensues, and these magic-inspired heroes are united by Dr. Strange to combat them. After that, they decide that staying together would make sense (have Doc Strange write the Defenders off as losers or something ;)) and the series goes from there.
I really like this idea; clearly inspired from DAY OF VENGENCE at DC, which outsold a slew of Marvel books (even some X-Books). Plus, Black Knight would be able to "multitask" with his knowledge of technology, too, in case they need it.

Considering Dr. Strange has organized a slew of ad hoc teams in the past, it's weird that few consider him a "leader" when those "who is the best team leader" debates come up; most folks just focus on the usual suspects (Cap, Reed, Storm, etc.).

[Zoken]

Thanks for being honest, I'm just tired of Cloak and Dagger being such asses about there situation, when they could just grow up, and not be all gloom and doom and get a life and some jobs. Justice and Firestar figured that much out. My theory why C&D have failed as characters is that they are stuck as 'whoa is me victums' and not evolved as heroes. The not trusting prominent superheroes is retarded especially Captain America, It's annoying to keep reading about them when all they have to do is just stop and say "Hey we are done being losers and accept offers of help from Cap and the rest."

Luke not doing the above, well I'm doing a Heroes for hire book, and I really don't see Luke being a Avenger for long Marvels gonna bring back the old guard at some point and Lukes real family has and will always be Ironfist, Misty and Coleen, so it's not out of the question and is really likely.

I'm tired of the stereotype of the unisex,monk-like,cold,BruceLee wannabee asian guy, really we need to move on with that crap I think Shang-chi has been played to 'Asian stereotype' for long enough.
I want to have some fun with him and the guy has lived life as the generic asian,martial arts guy, no more!

I got the notion of Shang-Chi not being all 'asian martial arts guy' from my bud 'Eddy' he's an Korean American and he's like why is the asian guy always like the 'Fu man chu villian', or the bland kung-fu guy or a ninja, or brainy little weasel, and he has a point he's a regular guy and not some fortune cookie spouting monk.
Why can't he get the girl? or be suave or just a regular goofball guy?

[Zoken]

A good writer throws away stereotype and creates something new

A GREAT writer takes the stereotype and bends it till it is unrecognizable, without destroying it.

to just change who he has been would be ridiculous and proably get you lynch mobbed. now I'm not opposed to him being romantically involved, and coming into a more 21st century way of living, but you are going to have to show a slow progression of it. among the things that are troubling him can be sexual feelings toward one of the women (Bonus points if she doesn't even think of him romantically). He's lived his life as some sort of monk, but never really taken vows of any nature. can he live the ways of the honored past while marching into a bold future

Good point and that's the intent to ease Shang-chi into the now, I'm not trying to change the fundamentals of the man, but move away from the dated chaff why must Shang walk around with no shirt or shoes on? it's retarded! Why can't he wear a nice tailored suit and still be the same guy?

Does he need the bowl cut? why not a new hair cut? Everyone of my asian buddies are like what's up with comics treating them like idiots, just cause your a reknowned master of kung-fu doesn't mean you can't have alife out side the stereotype he can take his butt out on a date or go buy some new threads at the mall, and not moan all day about his freaking evil daddy.

[Zoken]

Okay, I have no objections to a new 'do, but I don't see him busting money on salons.

as for outfits. I don't see him in a suit, unless Luke or Danny buy it for him. I see him more in shorts and a T-shirt that don't match and look strangely immature on him, kinda like Shcwarttzenagger in Twins.

and also, Miami? eh.... The X-men already did that town, or X-Factor as they were. How about a town that has never had its own super TEAM before. Las Vegas. Sure they had Mr. Fixit a while back, but c'mon. more to speed the change of Shang Chi living in a place called Sin City, how can he remain the old way. also, the temptation factor on Luke (I know he's not married, but still, he is being kinda monogamous with Jess. and it be good of her to wonder about her body like most women do, especially with the women he hangs out with for work)

I have a question though: did Luke have a boy or a girl?

A girl. I chose Miami, cause it's a drug trade gateway and has high crime rate and no few clients for Luke and Danny plus the sun and beach, I see H4H as Domino(the Movie) meets Miami vice meets Dog the Bounty Hunter meets Superheroes. Trust me Shang can just as easliy lose his way in SouthBeach, and the women in Miami!? whoo! hot! latina booty a brother can lose his mind!

I can see Shang in a suit, he was a spy at one point for SHIELD. Plus just cause he ran around in rags doesn't mean the guy can't change his style.

Somethign I would like to see is something I'm reading on Fanfiction.Net right now. Its called Shocker: Legit.

Its about the effects of one of Marvel's Perrenial losers, going straight after all these years. can Herman Shultz, one of the worlds worst villains, turn things around? it also happesn that his best friend and sidekick, the Rhino happens to come in tow. but a strange crime spree is happening using low ranking super-baddies who are acting bizzarely out of character. what is FPS, what's making the nasties become even nastier, and why does it bring Herman Shultze face to face with the Punisher, Black Cat, and the Fantastic Four? you'll have to read to find out.

I want a Slott written Damage Control Dammit.

[GOODT!MES]

Wrecking Crew: written by Dan Slott with art by Steve McNiven- because losers who never win would make a funny comic. Maybe they could actually beat someone.
Marvel Knights Heroes for Hire: written by Joss Whedon with art by David Cassaday- Everyone wants a Heroes for Hire. Make it hardcore, but not ridiculous by giving it to Whedon. Cassaday rules.
Black Panther/Moon Knight: written by Brian K. Vaughan with art by Ryan Sook- Two great marvel chracters=one great book. BKV'd find a way to make the team aspect work.
A book with a huge team clash: written by Mark Millar with art by Greg Land- Just a giant team fight book with a good story and amazing giant fight scenes. Power Man & Iron Fist, Cable & Deadpool, Daughters of the Dragon, Cloak & Dagger, and the surprise team of She-Hulk and Sasquatch. This could spill into a spin-off featuring She-Hulk & Sasquatch (written by Dan Slott with Ryan Sook art)

Looks good to me.

I think it's because Dr. Strange usually just plucks whomever he deems is most valuable for the cause out of whatever they were doing and forces them to work with him. Part of being a leader is inspiring your troops. Dr. Strange just tells them what needs to get done, explains the stakes, and hopes they'll decide to help him.

Black Knight's scientist background would be a great asset. I've always loved that irony, that he wields so much magic power but he's still able to remain scientifically skeptical about all of it. It's part of what makes him a great character.

True, but he's consistantly kept awkward assortments of heroes, especially the Defenders, from killing each other to get the job done. People pat Cap on the back for keeping Hawkeye in line or Cyke for keeping Logan on, but how about Namor and Hulk? Entire TEAMS have failed to reason well with those two at times.

Dr. Strange seems to succeed at gathering and explaining the stakes more often than he fails to a lot of these characters, seen most recently in MTU against Titannus.

I mean, Logan led the X-Men for about 5 seconds back during the Outback days and you occasionally hear people toss his name around during a "leader" debate, I'm just saying that Dr. Strange isn't so shabby as a leader when he has to, especially considering the sorts of "teammates" he tends to have.

Black Knight's scientist background would be a great asset. I've always loved that irony, that he wields so much magic power but he's still able to remain scientifically skeptical about all of it. It's part of what makes him a great character.
Most of my exposure to Dane Whitman was during the 90's H4H series and I'll admit that he came off well, however, having TWO gimmicks sometimes can be a character's downfall when it comes to being used often enough or written well. Most characters tend to have ONE gimmick that is consistantly exploited, exaggerated, hammered home again and again ad nausem, with almost every other fascent to them ignored except as a plot device. Take Spider-Man, who can be a scientist. But that's not the gimmick he is known for; he's known for being an "over his head" hero who jokes a lot. So that is the angle that is shown and exaggerated...consistantly. The "has a genius IQ stuff" only happens on that occasional story where he needs to cure Morbius or something. Wolverine got the "hacks things with his claws and never dies" angle, so things like being an expert, careful fighter who actually had some agility got lost in transition to "hacking and regenerating a lot". I don't even NEED to tell you how this sort of reasoning limited Thor in combat to "swings hammer a lot".

The only way around this is to hopefully get writers who completely understand the character and love them. And even then, people are sometimes guilty of embellishing their favorate bits. People scoff off at "fan-fiction" yet I have seen professional writers commit many of the same ills that some of the "ametuers" do. Quite often the only difference is one got hired and one didn't.

But I got sidetracked. Yes, Dane Whitman's mystical weapons and history as well as his past as a scientist allows him to be able to hit angles with two sorts of reasonings. I wonder if he could somehow combine the two for "technomage" stuff? Not going all THE MATRIX out or anything, but I'm sure better minds than mine could be creative with it.

[Zoken]

I want an Alternate reality story where Spidey isn't the only one who went through the clone saga. but also, like his, the clones have differences. kinda make this like a "What If..." and "What If Captain American Went through the clone saga", "What if Hulk went through the Clone Saga" etc.

[Xofenroht]

I definitely want to see a "Thor and/or Journey Into Mystery" title. I was reading Journey Into Mystery #83 and noticed that Donald Blake didn't want to appear as Thor in front of the military because he feared the questions which would arise and the possibility of being taken in for scientific study. I'd want to see how that would have transpired.
"Werewolf by Night" needs to make a return, but I want to be the one writing it.
A "Nick Fury" title would be fine too aswell as a "Dr. Strange" title with a more realistic approach to magick.

That requires thinking but I'll do it...

Silver Surfer (written and maybe illustrated by the same team that worked on the book starting at around issue #100. Or maybe have the artist who draws Godland draw the book. Kirby's vision of the Surfer always looked cool and the Godland artist pretty much just copies him.)

Dr. Strange (This would probably be a Marvel Knights book. Neil Gaiman would be my first choice as writer and I think Jae Lee should be the artist.)

Cloak & Dagger (I've always liked Cloak & Dagger and I was reminded of how much I like the characters upon reading the current Runaways arc...so I think Vaughan and Alphona should be on this. But as a second choice I'd go with Jae Lee, Leonardo Mancha, Frazer Irving, or Ryan Sook to draw. And as a second writer choice I think I might go with Peter David or Gaiman. And now that I think about it, Alphona's art isn't dark enough for these characters.)

Thor (Either Oeming or Gaiman would be great on this book. I'm not sure about artist, though. Maybe Romita Jr.)

GLX (Slott of course and the artist who worked on the GLA mini)

...and as far as the others on my list, I'm not sure yet. And I also have another character to add...Adam Warlock.

I'd like to see some of Marvels finest test their prowess in other countries and do more traveling. How many times do we see spidey ar DD swing through new york. I say throw them in Bangkok or Jakarta for a series. Besides they could introduce a whole new group of heroes and villians. Countries like Indonesia or Thailand or the Philipines could use some heros about now.

Japan... do a segment on Silver Samurai and Ronin recruiting Japanese super-heroes.

Luke cage Iron Fist

[deemar325]

That's it?

[ShadowBoxing]

That's it?I think I have posted here before...but really I could go for a Luke Cage Iron Fist comic right about now. Warbird is coming out (so that covers that). I would like to see a more traditional Avengers...but I am pretty basic. Give me the standard characters with their own books and not a ton of this other crap on top of it

Also I would love to see a Tales of Suspense and Journey Into Mystery (with Thor) return as a way to team up Marvel heroes again

[ang_hulk]

Id like to see a heros life series,each issue covering how a certain hero lives out there day and some notes on what they have learned and how some of what and who they are came about,for instance,if it was ricochet,it would explain how he made his costume and decided on it and some other things he may have considerd.I like the backround stuff on heros and even though marvels good about explaining alot of things i still think some things are missing.

Marvel should do a MAX comic called the 'POON HOUNDS!' about a group of 'Ultra hetero' superhero team, who along with fighting crime are all about baggin chicks! Then one of there members, turns out to be gay and the group have to decide if they will kick him out of the group? or learn to accept him and change there name?

The Cast:

*ALPHA DOG: Leader and alpha male of the group.

powers: Super strength and stamina; emitts aura that makes women swoon and men cringe in subordination.

*CAHMACHO: Loose cannon.

powers: Super intensity and anger induced nigh invurnerability and flight.

*JOCK: Wildman and party guy.

powers: Excells at any physical activity, sorta like (Taskmaster.)

*WHIPPER SNAPPER: Youngest member, hyperactive and gullable.

powers: Superspeed via consuption of gasoline.

*the DUDE: Laid back and affalable.

powers: Unbelievable (personal) good luck and seems to know everybody. (Has an uncanny knack for sage advice;while in a drunkin stuper and inspired paradigmed thought/ideas.)


Note: Mind you one of these guys will be the 'contested member' so who would you guys peg as the 'unique' hero?

Gaiman on anything is worth a look.:up:

JMS on Deathlok? hmm..could be interesting Cassaday doesn't fit Deathlok, but I'd read it.

As for the 'unique' person, I think it would be Jock. Wait, hear me out: If he can excell at any physicall activity, then....well, I guess you can fill the blanks there.

New Hawkeye

Clint Barton is back from the dead in the wake of the Decimation. Now he's trying to put together his old life in a world that, in just one year, changed completely from what he knew. he even tries going back and picking up peices across the country. He travels to Los Angeles to find a team of 20 somethings acting like the West Coast Avengers, and in Milwaukee... well you just have to find out what happens to Clint Barton.

Glad you liked it, I got the feeling some might be offended by my idea, but it's a sincere concept about friendship/malebonding/hidden secrets/and tolerance.


By the way I was leaning towards ALPHA DOG as secretly homosexual, with the idea that his powers, which attracts women and makes men feel inferior he got bored by women cause it was a easy conquest and his already latent tendencies came to the forfront and being the leader or a ultra hetero supergroup leads to all kinds of trouble.

Dan Slott has to write it, and Clint having an adventure with the GLA cool!

I think a lighter tone and continuity heavy ongoing with hawkeye would be ideal, just have some outthere villian and have fun with it.:up:

I wish they would make that. It would help to forget about all the things going on in the marvel universe.

[Zoken]

not really, the title would be about Clint finding out what is happening.

marveling at the fact that Luke Cage has, in a year, gone from C-list street level hero, to A-List Avenger.

Insulted at the fact that a bunch of punks he's never even heard of are "protecting" the west coast.

Reeling at the fact that some teenie-boppers are taking a stand against Cap (he likes that) and doing their thing anyway. (I'd imagine he offers to give them pointers, but they turn him down gently).

Slack-jawed when he goes to what he thought was his sure bet, his no problem team that would take him back with open arms, not have changed a bit... only to find that they are X-Men now... and have some sort of squirrel... girl on their team.

he of course blames Wanda for everything.

Well with this price increase,I don't want anymore good titles because I won't be able to afford it!

[Advocate05]

I wrote this in my thread titles "I am so lost in Marvel."
Originally posted by Advocate05:

I can see that as well.

Hawkeye: Pissed at the World

Issue 1 could be about him coming back and seeing how the world has gone to *****. How all which he helped create has been erased.

Issue 2 could be called

Hawkeye: I hate Wanda.

Issue 3:

Hawkeye: F'you Joe Q.


I think those should be the subtitles to the series.

Holy crap,I totally didn't remember that guy until you mentioned him.He was in the Spidey cartoon right?

Somebody suggested the west coast Avengers, so could someone tell me: are they just a group that have all the wannabe Avangers? Y'know like U.S.Agent, War Machine, Beta Ray Bill... or what?
either way I'd like to see those wannabees in a team!!

Sue Richards arrives with Deadpool in a Force field stretcher. Logan arrives, whenever the hell he wants. and Namor arrives, but with blood on his hands he won't talk about.

*Black Panther

*Photon
*Black Goliath
*War Machine
*Night Thrasher

[CombatRock319]

they should do an avengers ongoing spinoff like they did with x-factor. how come the x-men can have many cool teams but the avengers cant? i know they had west coast but that wasnt anything to brag about. like a seriously cool second team. with the right roster, it would be a great comic and i would be all over it. people dont need new characters, they need new character dynamics, revamp the old ones. it would be...mind baffling to say the least...

Ultimate hawkeye-Before the heart ache(or somthing like that)

What was it like living with a member of the highest ranking government faction? and was it a plue or minus living with the best shot in the world? How much did hawkeye love his family? things like that,like when he was in the olympics and stuff and how he and his family delt with his job,a nice scene would be he and his son shooting basket ball and him letting him win.I want a series like this for everyone.Days before deployment for cap-who and how of his life before being a super soilder leading up to his last words to his wife before that mission.honesty is a virtue for widow,expling how she handled her secret life and what led up to her joining the ultimates and even going as far as falcon-before the gig,just explaing why and how he got the job.

THE ADVENTURES OF STAN LEE AND JACK KIRBY:

The adventures of two wacky New York college friends named Stan Lee[ who wants to be a comic book writer] and his macho sreet smart jock friend Jack Kirby [who wants to be a comic book artist]. The rent a D-grade apartment together while attending college. As they both try and make it in the comic book industry, they get into many misadventures in a slightly fantastical and often ridiculously surreal version of New York. The comic would be in the same vein as family guy and simpsons, and spoof comic books, and Pop culture in general. Kirby and Lee will also run into many bizarre and cooky characters [based on silver-age marvel writers and artists] and ocassionally find themselves stuck in one zany scheme after another.

Bring back MAVERICK!!!! Plus a MAX Black Cat would be cool..like catwoman but funnier and without Kevin Smith.
