Titles from Marvel you'd like to see?

[Harlekin]

The new Fury book, according to Wizard is entitled;

Nick Fury: Peaceaker

Scheduled for a September release.

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.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Nope. It says Peacemaker.

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

 

[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]

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.}

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

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

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.

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.

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.

Heroes for Hire:

Writer: Christopher Priest (Quantum&Woody,BlackPanther)

Artist: Khari Evans (Daughters of the Dragon mini)

Cast:

*Luke Cage (w/ Jessica jones and baby in tow.)
*Ironfist
*Misty Knight
*Coleen Wing
*Shang-Chi
*Cloak
*Dagger
*Brother Voodoo (supporting role.)

Premise:

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.

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.

Damn that's very good! Very good! indeed!

 

[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
