Does Brian K Vaughan have something planned for Marvel?

[Sawyer]

I know he's on the writing staff for Lost and that he is still doing Ex Machina, but I recall reading somewhere that he's working with Marvel. Does anyone know anything about this?

 

[Dread]

I hadn't heard any rumblings about Vaughan at Marvel. His last work for Marvel was a three issue LOGAN mini series that wasn't too bad.

In a perfect world, he'd do a sequel mini to DOCTOR STRANGE: THE OATH.

I thought his writing on LOST would have fit nicely in Fantastic Four or the Space Titles. But the FF would definately give him the freedom to write some freaky stuff.

 

[Dread]

Vaughan on a FF run? I honestly wouldn't know how he would handle the Four. He probably could pull it off, I just wouldn't have thought of it.

 

[deathshead2]

Last I heard he was busy planning new comics that are more indie, and writing the Runaways movie thats planned.

Man you are biased! I think he'd be better on Blade myself......bring this character back to the forefront or...just to the forefront. Dude has had a trilogy and a tv show, something not even IronMan can say!

But Ironmans one movie made like more than all three blades combined, and has two animated series that have more episodes than his one tv show.

Do agree though Blade needs a good comic. At least hes in Captain Britain. Now if only Deaths head would be used. Dammit he knew Captain Britain.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Of course I am. Duh!!!


But I think that the Twilight Zone stories he likes to write would fit in the FF better than most mags.


Garth Ennis might be fun on Blade.

Bah! Deathshead and Deathlok are so overrated! If they had to be used, I say put them in a new team, like the West coast Avengers or even cosmic Avengers. Put them with Blade, Elektra.....a bunch of characters that are not being used but yet are some of Marvel's top characters and give them some light to shine. And before someone says Elektra or Blade or Howard the Duck wouldn't work in space, look at what it did for Hulk in Planet Hulk. Those characters are doing nothing on Earth but collecting dust.........use them Marvel!

Garth Ennis hates superheroes.

Vaughan's strongest suit is characters. If he wrote Fantastic Four, it would be intense character-wise, but I don't see him doing anything particularly "out there." He had a broad scope of weirdness to work with when he wrote Doctor Strange: The Oath, but it was a relatively grounded story that happened to have great characterization. The spells Strange used were fairly low-grade, although Vaughan & Marcos Martin wrote & drew it as though he didn't have any difficulty performing them (unlike *ahem* certain writers who have Strange out-right say he can't do certain things).

Just read Ex Machina or Y: The Last Man. The weird stuff is few and far between, and only used as a backdrop.

Nothing announced or even rumored. Between Lost (which he has become a big part of), finishing Ex Machina, and writing the Runaways movie, I think he's pretty busy anyway.

Blade barely is one.

 

[Havok83]

Too bad they couldnt bring him back to save Ult X-men. His run was amazing and went downhill after he left. Id love to see him handle another X related project

 

[Aristotle]

Blade barely is one.

To Garth Ennis, anyone who does anything that they claim to be for the greater good, and is not a soldier that he can hump in the occasional miniseries about war, must be a twisted, evil, wicked thing called a superhero which must be ripped apart mercilessly in The Boys.

 

[Manic]

The Boys is an amusing book, though.

Honestly I think Vaughan would be much better suited for Spidey, though I wouldnt necessarily say no to him writing F4, either...

 

[Aristotle]

The Boys is an amusing book, though.

Now that Ennis has moved on from the childish "I hate Superman I'm so edgy oooo Batman is teh gayz!!!11!!1!" that he really should have outgrown a long time ago, and is now working in much more layered narratives and characters with more complex motivations and ethics systems, and allegory with a little bit more meaning and naunce--not to mention the humor gets better every time--yeah, The Boys is the funniest book on the shelves, and one of the best.

I think the current X-Men/G-Men parody arc already shows how much better he's gotten at doing this book. Those early Homelander/Superman, Tek-Knight/Batman, Seven/JLA stories were often painfully ham-fisted and lopsided, but I really like what he's doing on the G-Men.

 

[Manic]

I've been reading The Boys in trades. I'm only up to the point where Wee Hughie heard the true origins of The Seven from the old bug-eyed comic book writer with the Stan Lee-esque catch phrase.

Haven't read Hitman, have you?

 

[Aristotle]

Haven't read Hitman, have you?

Not all the way through, no. And I'm familiar with Ennis' love for Superman, but he has a funny way of showing it: having his Superman analog demand a ******* from his Mary Marvel analog on his Justice League satellite analog.

 

[Manic]

One twisted thing that crossed my mind about that scene:

If that's how the Seven initiate their new members, did the Wally West analog have to service the Wonder Woman analog in any way?
